Chef Mary was incredible! She took her time with the 2 of us. We had a lot of fun while prepping. it was like hanging out with a. good friend that is a super talented chef. We had a lot of food and also had huge poke’ bowls for the next day that we prepared. From start to dessert-hats off to Chef Mary. TYSM!!!

Our sushi making experience was nothing short of spectacular. We learned about history of sushi, various types/styles, and a lot of the culture behind it. Mary was eager and excited to be our guide! The food was fantastic and she left us very equipped to continue making sushi on our own in the future. We will be recommending her course to many friends!
