We made a from scratch 4 course Italian pasta dinner. It was such a great way to spend a date night. Chef Charles , his wife and their staff were so friendly and helpful. We were paired up with another couple from Fresno and the interactions and atmosphere were great. The food was so good, and Chef Charles is a great teacher and entertainer. If you are looking for a great and creative way to spend an evening together, I highly, highly recommend.

What an amazing experience! I walked into my neighbor’s home in response to an invitation for dinner with a small group of their friends and family, unaware that I would participate in the preparation of the meal. There was Charlie, brother of my neighbor, with stations ready for each of us as assigned by him in groups of three. He had a master plan for an incredible Coq au vin and it was such a joy to get to know all these strangers by working together as a team, each group contributing to the overall outcome. Charlie made it so easy and fun, with clear steps on what we had to do, even presenting our part in the meal to the rest of those seated and waiting. I loved the experience and can’t recommend Charlie high enough. He is so pleasant, calm, organized, enjoyable, and a master chef; a master at meal planning and a master at an in-home culinary experience that brings people together.
