Chef Nicholas will be your guide in this culinary expedition to Southeast Asia where you'll learn how to create staple dishes from each country of the region, exploring a range of flavors from spicy to sweet.

You'll first arrive in the Philippines and create lumpia with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Then, you'll cook up Thailand's drunken noodles with a sweet and spicy soy-based sauce, and travel to Japan when you slice up its staple spicy marinated cucumbers. Head to China for dessert and prepare sweet and crispy banana fritters.

Chef Nick was awesome! He came over for a Valentine’s Day cooking class for my girlfriend and me. He was super accommodating for dietary restrictions and substituted delicious vegetarian options. He’s personable, friendly, had a great sense of humor, and was a great/patient teacher. Every dish was amazing. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in a class or personal chef services!

Chef Nicholas was a great instructor and fun to be around for our cooking experience. He took the time to explain what he was doing and how, and made sure we were learning along the way. The food itself was incredible and will definitely be looking forward to cooking with him again.
