Our experience with Chef Nyjal was terrific. He came prepared with all the necessary ingredients. He was patient and clear in his instructions. Everything we made (from the eclairs to the bananas foster) was delicious. It was an excellent activity for the family to do together. We enjoyed it immensely. I do recommend him to anyone interested.

I am not a cook. Chef Nyjal kept things simple and gave great advice in regard to prep and purchase of ingredients. My guest and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience will look to do additional classes in the future.
