I cannot say enough about our experience making sushi with Chef Drea. She was so warm, inviting and definitely knew her stuff! Her food prep was immaculate, her home was magical, and the food was to die for. There was more than enough for seconds and even thirds! By the end of the night my sister and I felt like we had gone to a friends house for a dinner party - it was that much fun. 100% worth the time and money!!!

Chef Drea was absolutely amazing! She made us feel so warm and really taught us what cooking is all about—love! She made us feel very comfortable and shared her skills, well distributed in a class full of 5. Definitely felt the 1:1 attention and she was also such a great host. Highly recommend her and her knowledge of cuisine (we took the sushi class) for anyone who is just beginning or even has a good level of experience!

Chef Andrea has a way of making you feel at home as soon as you enter her lovely house in San Jose. She's warm, welcoming, lively and genuinely enjoys her craft. She made an AMAZING Gnocchi dish that I can honestly say, I've never tasted before! It was so soft and delicate yet so full of flavor-- you'll have to take one of her classes to find out her secret! She also showed me how to make another unique dish, a Hawaiian Sushi Roll! It had cooked shrimp, mangoes and avocado and tasted savory, sweet and creamy! YUM! If you're in the San Jose area, don't miss a chance to spend some time at Chef Andea! You won't regret it! Highly recommended!

We had a work party at Savory Kitchen last night, there were 27 of us in all; none of whom had ever been here. Our experience across the board was better than great! The level of detail that the Savory Kitchen Staff put into making sure our experience was excellent was astounding. Chef Andy and her staff were fun and knowledgeable, and clearly there for us. What a great time! I would definitely recommend this to any-fun-loving group that likes great food, great wine, and a bit of competition. In spite of our large group, it felt like having a fantastic, intimate dinner party in which we were not responsible for the cooking or cleaning. We will definitely be back!!

Our car club made Savory Kitchen the final stop on a day of touring the South Bay. We were not disappointed! Chef Andy and kristin skillfully guided our groups through a riotous, good natured cooking contest that tapped into our competitive side. We then settled down for a magical night of sharing tasty, skillfully prepared courses paired with carefully selected wines. This was a wonderful experience we would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a uniquely fun and delicious experience!

We had a team offsite at Savory Kitchen, and it was amazing. We did a Chopped Challenge appetizer and then had steak and blondies prepared by the SK chefs. The chopped Challenge was so fun, and we actually produced pretty delicious appetizers even though we were using mystery ingredients. The food prepared by the chefs was absolutely amazing as were the wine pairings. Andy led our event and she was so fun and informative. 100% recommended Savory Kitchen and Andy to anyone looking for a fun, unique event!

I had a blast at Savory Kitchen's Winemaker's Dinner this last week! We cooked four courses in about 3 hours and we got to try each one with a wine pairing from Collier's Winery. chef Andy and her staff that helped us prepare all the of the courses were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and fun! the food was delicious and the wine pairings were wonderful, as well.

Thank you, Chef Andy, event coordinator Keely and the entire cooking team at Savory Kitchen. We had our Q2'19 Quarterly team building event of 20+ people this week and it was a HIT! We did the flatbread challenge! Awesome time! We will be back for round 2 of the flatbread challenge! Thank you, Becky Robles with Intel Corp.
