My fiancee and I like to make pizzas at home and thought it would be a fun date night activity. Not only did we have a fun time making the pizzas, we got to make homemade pesto and cannolis as well! Chef Michael was patient, informative, and provided a fun, laidback environment. Highly recommend to anyone, and we hope to be back in the future!

Who Knew We Could Learn French Cuisine! Chef Michael blends the perfect amount of teaching, fun, stories, and hands on experience. We didn’t know exactly what to expect from an in-home cooking class, but Chef Michael was wonderfully prepared and completely self contained. The courses were relatively easy to understand and we can apply what we learned to future dishes. Can’t wait for Chef Michael to come back out to our place for our next class!

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the "Elevated French Cuisine" class with Chef Michael. We felt welcome and comfortable from the moment we walked into his kitchen until the moment we left. Although this particular cuisine class is more demo than hands on, He explained every step as he prepared the meal and answered every single question that was asked honestly and fully. The parts that were hands on, he was patient and made everyone in the class comfortable. The amount of food he makes and serves in this 4 course meal had us walking out VERY filled and VERY happy and It may have been some of the best meal we've eaten. We plan on taking another class with Chef Michael very soon. Highly recommend for anyone who's looking for a fun and relaxing date night.

We booked Chef Michael on a Saturday night for my fiancés 30th birthday celebration. The class consisted of 6 people; 3 couples. The class was AWESOME! Chef Michael simplified things for the class and gives tips throughout. You can ask him anything during the class (cooking related, his prior experiences, etc). Also a very funny guy which made the class all the better. The kitchen is Tuscan style and so cool! Overall would give this class a 10/10 and will definitely be booking Chef Michael in the future.

Thanks to Michael, we had an exceptional night! The food was beautifully prepared and delicious, and our hosts were extremely welcoming and passionate for their craft. Michael's class was in depth and well prepared, and their kitchen boasts the perfect space for group instruction and demos. We will absolutely be returning to take more of Michael's classes as we were blown away by everything. Cant recommend this class as well as Michael's repertoire of other classes quite enough!
