Steve was absolutely great. We had a group of 6 for his class and he took wonderful care to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. The entire evening was well timed and very clean, no stress about doing the dishes! Steve had a great deal of food prepared for us and we did not go hungry. Lots of very nice dishes with explanations and guidance on how and why things were done. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun evening out with friends who love food.

Chef Steven created an even better experience than we ever could have imagined. His teaching is very easy to follow and it is easy to see how much knowledge he has about food. It was so wonderful picking fresh herbs from his garden to incorporate into our meal. We had the best, freshest dinner that we have ever had. I cannot wait to book another experience with him!

Spending an evening cooking with Chef Steve is a culinary delight. I’ve taken other good cooking classes, but Steve takes the experience to a higher level. His recipes are gourmet, yet ones you can incorporate into your meals at home. They are full of flavor, and he selects fresh, high quality ingredients including some from his own garden. He is very personable and an excellent teacher. He covers all aspects of cooking…selecting ingredients, using tools to make the process easier, prepping to get the best results and cooking each dish just right. It’s interactive and you decide how much hands on experience you want. All of this occurs in Steven’s spacious, beautifully equipped kitchen. It is a perfect way to bring friends together for a fun, entertaining evening and delicious food! I highly recommend this class and definitely will schedule more classes with Steve.

Chef Steve is nothing short of an expert in all things food and wine (you do need to bring your own wine, but he will make sure your glass is never empty!). He walks you through how to make a delicious meal and dessert, and you can jump in and help him at any time. If you have any food allergies, he will work to accommodate you (I have a lot of food sensitivities and he rewrote the menu for me!). Oh, and he serves you the most delectable coffee at the end. His house is straight out of Architectural Digest magazine, with a beautiful kitchen and tasting room. Him and his wife are amazing hosts, and this experience is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or just a Saturday night. 10/10 would recommend!

Great food and fantastic conversation. Chef Steve made us feel right at home. It was as if we were having dinner with old friends. As a pretty good home cook myself I still learned some great techniques and we made a couple of things I never had before. Highly recommend Chef Steve for a small group event or a couple setting like we enjoyed. We will definitely be doing this again.

Christina

My husband and our experience with Chef Steve was amazing, yet informative. We learned so much from him from the smallest details that you would not even think of to imperative details that were just mind blowing. He took his time to walk my husband and I through every step of the recipes. The food was fantastic and the entire experience was worth every penny. We will definitely do this amazing experience again whenever we visit Reno again! Thank you Chef Steve for making my anniversary surprise for my husband a success!

An absolute amazing experience with Chef Steve! He really goes above and beyond to make it a special experience for our group. Highly recommend him and incredibly professional, organized, and customer-oriented. If you want attention to detail and savory top cuisine, don't hesitate to call Chef Steve.

I swear, I must have told him a dozen times, he charges too little for such a mind blowing experience. Chef Steve is a throwback to the 1920s or 1930s when gentleman were expected to be able to converse and engage others on almost any topic. He shows unbridled enthusiasm, kindness, and generosity. I haven't even talked about the food. His menus are creative, scrumptious, healthy, and special. You can keep reading reviews but you'll thank yourself if you book a meal with him and then start planning for more.
