I hosted a cooking class at my house, and it was such a fun, laid-back experience! The instructor kept things casual and made it feel like cooking with friends. We learned great recipes and had a blast. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed, enjoyable cooking experience!

Chef Darnell prepared a fabulous meal. There were 6 of us and we all commented favorably on the preparation and presentation. Chef even changed a menu item at our request which turned out to be off-the-charts awesome. In addition, Chef Darnell is extremely personable so we enjoyed his company throughout the evening. Recommend highly!

Chef Darnell was amazing for our dinner party of 8. He arrived early, was friendly and engaging, and prepared a delicious 3 course meal that far exceeded our expectations. Our guests were so impressed. We cant wait to hire him again! I would give him 10 stars if I could.
