Cooking with Chef Adam was such a fun and memorable experience! It was our first time taking a cooking class, and we loved every minute of it. We learned how to make onigiri, musubi, and poke bowls and everything tasted amazing. Chef Adam shared a few helpful kitchen tips, shared interesting stories, and made all of us feel relaxed and engaging. He was very accommodating, especially when we mentioned we don’t eat raw fish and he thoughtfully prepared shrimp for our poke bowls instead. It was the perfect mix of learning, laughter, and delicious food. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun and interactive culinary experience!

The menu for the evening included Poke Bowl, Onigiri and Musubi. Chef Adam was great and the evening was much more entertaining and fun than we anticipated it would be thanks to him. I highly recommend using him for classes and we will definitely be taking more of hi classes

We had a fantastic time cooking with Chef Adam! This was our first cooking class and we made onigiri, masubi and poke bowls which speaks to my husbands Hawaiian culture and some of my favorite foods. We learned a few tricks to get the rice to be sticky and loved that these were meals we could easily recreate at home with our daughter. We will absolutely cook with Chef Adam again and bring friends.
