His instructions were clear and the environment was fun. The dish was very delicious. On top of that, his gracious personality definitely made it a wonderfully positive and special experience for me. I’m going to take his sushi class next.

For Mother’s Day, I got to take my mom and sister to Chef Ricky’s sous vide class and it was nothing short of spectacular! Before our class I was in touch with Chef Ricky, because as my mom is older I was worried about the length of time she may be standing, the timing of dinner and if she would be able to take her meal home if it was too late for her, etc. Chef Ricky was so responsive and helpful! The night was so wonderful. He had everything for us for us each to actually “cook” and learn. The recipes were so tasty and his company unmatched! I can’t wait to do it again!
