Chef Michael is really knowledgeable about cooking and made the experience easy for those who are on a beginner level. I highly reccomended his pizza class, but we will also be looking into his other classes in the future. 10/10!

Who Knew We Could Learn French Cuisine! Chef Michael blends the perfect amount of teaching, fun, stories, and hands on experience. We didn’t know exactly what to expect from an in-home cooking class, but Chef Michael was wonderfully prepared and completely self contained. The courses were relatively easy to understand and we can apply what we learned to future dishes. Can’t wait for Chef Michael to come back out to our place for our next class!

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the "Elevated French Cuisine" class with Chef Michael. We felt welcome and comfortable from the moment we walked into his kitchen until the moment we left. Although this particular cuisine class is more demo than hands on, He explained every step as he prepared the meal and answered every single question that was asked honestly and fully. The parts that were hands on, he was patient and made everyone in the class comfortable. The amount of food he makes and serves in this 4 course meal had us walking out VERY filled and VERY happy and It may have been some of the best meal we've eaten. We plan on taking another class with Chef Michael very soon. Highly recommend for anyone who's looking for a fun and relaxing date night.
