Chef Damon was great. He was thorough on the processes and cooking styles, and his Coconut Shrimp was very delicious, I wanted seconds when I was done.

My husband and I attended our very first cooking class, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Chef Damon was the most amazing host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the class fun, engaging, and easy to follow. The group we shared the evening with was wonderful, which made the experience even better. We laughed, learned, and connected with some great people while preparing a beautiful four-course Italian meal. Though my husband and I aren’t new to the kitchen, this menu and experience were new to us—and we can’t wait to recreate these dishes at home. Every course was absolutely top tier—from the fresh and flavorful Tomato Bruschetta, to the rich and savory Chicken Marsala, the perfectly creamy Risotto, and the decadent Tiramisu to finish. Every bite tasted like something from a fine dining restaurant! We left not only full and happy but also inspired and excited to try these recipes at home. If you’re considering a cooking class, don’t hesitate—this is the one to take! Thank you, Chef Damon and Danni, for such a memorable evening! We’ll be back soon!
