He's a kick! I enjoyed his enthusiasm and genuine concern for us not cutting our "digits" off! I would recommend Chef Craig to others for sure!

We had an amazing time with Chef Craig!! He was so energetic and enthusiastic. We will absolutely be taking more of his classes. This soup will be a staple in menu. The macaroons were amazing!

I finally succeeded in making a proper crepe! I even learned how to flip one! Chef Craig was great and so was the food!

We had a great time making crepes with Chef Craig! we learned how to make crepes! We laughed a lot! And he was really a great teacher and utilized the technology really well for teaching. My only suggestion is that the savory crepe recipe is adjusted to make it a hot melted caprese crepe rather than a salad crepe, we all agreed we would have enjoyed that much more.

Could keep up but only because I had prepared a lot beforehand. Did have some trouble with crepes. Burnt one and another landed on the floor. Did provide some entertainment for me though. Was able to make them properly by the end of class. Have already passed on information to an interested friend.

This was so much fun! The chef was easy to follow - did the class with a group of friends and we ate together (on Zoom) afterwards. Delicious, too.

I always wondered how they made spanakopita into triangles and now I know! They were delicious and we had a lot of fun. Thanks Chef Craig!

Great class and great chef! My only comment is that I think it's difficult to follow an online cooking course with all the multi-tasking that is required.

Chef Craig was a delight, and the whole experience was the perfect recipe for a sunny Sunday morning! Our crepes were perfection! Thank you for creating such a warm and loose environment for nailing down a new weekend staple in our kitchen! We'll be booking future classes with you!

I cannot recommend this class or chef Craig enough. We did a private class with our family and we all had a blast! Chef Craig was personable and funny all while helping us create a delicious meal. Will absolutely take a class with him again!

Chef Craig was great. The Long Island experience was great for our Midwest and European attendees. Pace was perfect and recipe right on. Busy and fun experience. Thanks Craig.

Class was great but very fast paced. Glad I had everything ready ahead of time or I would not have been able to keep up.

This class was a Christmas gift for my 15 yr old son, who thinks he may want to go to culinary school. Chef Craig was great! The food turned out amazing! Both the Spanakopita and the Tzatziki are soon to be family favorites! The recipes were both simple enough for a beginner, but the class moved quickly. My son was extremely glad he had chopped and prepped all the ingredients in advance. Thank you Chef Craig for a great experience. Looking forward to our next class!

The food turned out great and Craig seems like a great chef. My only issue was how quick and rushed the class was and we didn't seem to use all the ingredients that were listed on the ingredient sheet. We did the class with 2 other out of state couples and all felt very frantic during the class. The end result was delicious crepes, so we were happy we tried it!

Chef Craig was very easy to follow and did a great job giving clear direction. My only frustration was the recipes gave clear instructions to cut all the of the vegetables for the savory crepes ahead of the class. Which I did. However, the chef proceeded to take a large part of the class to teach about cutting techniques and chop all of the vegetables during the event. Outside of this, Chef Craig did a wonderful job teaching how to make the actual crepes and my family loved the recipe. .

This was my first on line cooking class. I really enjoyed it! I printed out the recipes in advance and I had all the ingredients laid out, so I could really focus on his tips and techniques. I will take more classes from Chef Craig. Thank you!

Thank you for the great class. Could you please send over a copy of the screenshot of our class holding up our dishes? We would love to have it as a keepsake. Happy Holidays!

Chef Craig was enthusiastic and clear in his explanations. We tried doubling the recipe which ended up being too much but we are freezing the extras so we’re looking forward to a second meal. We would have been too intimidated to try making perogi on our own but now feel confident to make it again. Thanks Chef Craig!

Great experience. Fun and unique way to celebrate a work holiday party in a remote setting. Thanks to the chief for his exuberance while herding cats in the kitchen.

Chef Craig was great personally. I did have issues with the set up a bit. Very hard to hear him (could maybe be fixed with earbuds so the mic is close to his mouth) and the pace was super fast. This meal should have been given either 2 hours to do OR do one less crepe. We wanted it to be a fun holiday event (and it was) but it felt rushed and we were scrambling to keep up. Also, not being a cook at all - it would have been great to have an email the day before that gave me a heads up on what to have prepared before the class starts. Lastly - it would have been awesome to have each recipe showing in the chat feature of Zoom so that we could follow along more easily. These are all logistical ideas to make it easier for the end user. The crepes were delicious and we all had a good time. Love the website and the customer service when I called was also very good. Would definitely do this again. Thank you!

The class was so much fun! I did not realize how important technique was needed in making crepes. My husband said it was one of the best meals he has had! Chef Craig was very patient with us and really made it clear how to make the crepe in the right texture & how to present it beautifully. I will definitely make this again. I highly recommend this experience with Chef Craig. Thanks Chef!

These recipes were healthier than my standard choices for Thanksgiving sides and a big hit with the family. Class was a little fast paced - we could have used 15 more minutes to get everything out of the oven and plated - but we really didn't need assistance at that point. It's good to tell participants to have all ingredients prepped and ready to assemble to save time. A quick list with the recipes about how to prep each vegetable would do the trick. Overall, I enjoyed it and would be happy to do another class with Chef Craig!

Chef Craig is a delight to learn new techniques in the kitchen from. He has the ability to turn what seems like complicated dishes into fun, easy parts of your repertoire. From easily making fresh pasta at home to instant ice cream with liquid nitrogen in under a minute, Chef Craig makes creating food feel like a magic trick you know the secret behind.
