The class was amazing! We made pita bread, hummus, kebabs, garlic mayo, salad, salad dressing, lamb, and everything tasted absolutely incredible.

My husband and I recently took this cooking class with Chef Hamzeh and V, and it was genuinely one of the most memorable culinary experiences we’ve had. Chef Hamzeh has a great ability to help you to quickly learn and apply a lot of techniques through this course. He explained the why behind everything—from achieving that impossibly smooth hummus texture to balancing acidity, salt, and fat so flavors feel layered rather than loud. Making fresh pita from scratch was a revelation (and now has completely ruined store-bought pita for us). The kebabs were deeply flavorful, and we learned subtle but meaningful techniques around seasoning, skewering, and grilling that made a noticeable difference. What stood out most was how generous Chef Hamzeh and V were with their knowledge. They answered every question thoughtfully and made the entire experience feel collaborative rather than instructional. We left not just with a fantastic meal, but with real skills and recipes we’ve saved in our recipe box. Highly, highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I attended chef Hamzeh's Valentine's Day class and it was amazing. It was a lovely setting and a nice smaller group with 3 other couples. The class was relaxed with some hands-on cooking and great tutorials from Chef Hamzeh. The food was amazing and the whole experience truly beat our expectations.

Chef Hamzeh was great. I had a lot of questions and he gave me some really excellent answers. Learning how to clean a squid was really fantastic and his tips on buying seafood really helped my confidence. And I'll definitely make the crab cakes for my dinner guests! A fun and fantastic experience in a beautiful setting. Thank you chef!

Working with Chef Hamzeh has been an incredible experience. He’s not your typical chef – he’s proactive, always learning new recipes, and truly understands the kitchen from the ground up. Hamzeh consistently shows up on time and delivers some of the most delicious and creative dishes I’ve ever tasted. He uses his resources wisely and maintains a high standard when ordering supplies, always choosing premium, fresh ingredients – sometimes it feels like the food came straight from the farm. His prep skills are unmatched. Hamzeh is a true one-man show, and it’s fascinating to watch him prepare, cook, and serve guests with such ease and confidence. I’m genuinely grateful to work alongside such a skilled and competent chef.

I had an outstanding experience with Chef Hamzeh, who catered my birthday celebration. Choosing him was one of the best decisions I made for the event. From our first interaction, he stood out with his professionalism, clear communication, and thoughtfully designed menu that immediately caught my attention. On the day of the event, Chef Hamzeh arrived fully prepared and perfectly on time. His setup was smooth and organized, and he carried himself with a level of confidence and expertise that instantly put me at ease. Every dish he prepared was exceptional – beautifully presented, full of vibrant flavors, and crafted with real culinary artistry. You could genuinely taste the quality and passion in every bite. What made the experience even more special was how effortlessly he handled everything behind the scenes. He created a warm, elevated dining atmosphere, allowing me and my guests to relax and fully enjoy the evening. Thanks to Chef Hamzeh, my birthday felt truly memorable and seamless from start to finish. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and innovative private chef. I will definitely be booking him again for future events.
