Chef Mike's class was super fun and thoroughly enjoyable. The group was small so we stood around a table to learn the knife skills. He showed us really cool techniques to chop, slice, julienne and chifon vegetables and fruit. The space is very open and really nice kitchen and tools...at the end we made some fresh spring rolls and Mike was gracious to offer us refreshments. Great experience...I would definitely take another class with Mike.

Class was very fun, everything was on time and ran as expected. The dim sum was tasty! After the class, Mike provided the recipes. It's not something we would have normally tried on our own at home, but using the knowledge we learned from the class, we were able to make two of the dishes at home a few days later. Thanks, Mike!

Chef Mike was great! He explained what the less common ingredients were, explained the techniques clearly and demonstrated them for us. The dim sum came out great and we had a delicious lunch. It was a full class (of 7) and there was definitely enough room for everyone both when cooking and when we ate. Would highly recommend Chef Mike's Dim Sum class and we are definitely going to try one of his other classes.

This class was great! I'm a pretty experienced cook, but I'm always looking for new techniques, and mother sauces were something I was looking forward to. I loved how the class was structured; it allowed everyone to participate and learn how the sauces are made without taking too much time. Being in a small group was also excellent, as it allowed us to relax and chat while working. The entire process was fun, and eating the meal at the end was wonderful. I got a pdf with the recipes after the class, so I'm looking forward to making the dishes again!

Theodore
04 Dec 2022
Chef mike was very nice and a solid instructor. But the class placed only some focus on the sauces, and participants did not each get to try their hand at the different techniques. For example only one participant actually made hollandaise, while the rest of us watched. Not what I expected from “mastering the mother sauces.”

Great experience! We got there and everything was ready for us to start, good music was playing which set a good cooking mood. Chef Mike gave us a brief description of what we’re about to make and then we each got a job to prep all the components and he walked around and gave us pointers as we went. Once everything was prepped we got to cooking and putting it all together! We then sat down for a family-style delicious meal! There was fun conversation throughout and we got to meet some new people that were in the class with us. The food was delicious, the cooking was fun, and the entire experience was very enjoyable! He will be sending us an email with all the recipes, plus a couple more that we discussed while we were there. Highly recommended.

Chef Mike was great, teaching us the basics for making sushi in a comprehensible, easy way. He had everything ready when we arrived, making for a smooth event. He also made a nice dessert for us. I would enroll in another one of his courses.
A few minor opportunities for improvement are that he could facilitate group introductions and/or an icebreaker, as we were 4 groups of 2. In addition, he could consider getting sushi knives, as it could make for an easier intro experience since cutting the sushi is one of the harder things.
Barbara
01 Jan 2019
My two adult kids and I took Chef Mike's Basic Sushi class for my son's birthday. Chef Mike is so nice and invited us into his home as if we were good friends. The atmosphere/vibe was comfortable and easy. He discussed the background basics of sushi before showing us how to make it. Chef Mike took what seemed to be intimidating and made it surprisingly do-able. We had a cohesive group that worked well together and had tons of sushi to share dining together. Chef Mike was very attentive to the vegans and dairy-free requests in fact, he made an amazing dairy-free matcha cake for dessert. It was such a lovely day to share as a family and I would most definitely recommend this class with Chef Mike.

My fiance and I took "Mastering Mother Sauces" with Chef Mike and our expectations were greatly exceeded. We walked into Chef Mike's home, which was already prepared with all the ingredients and tools for our delicious 4-course meal. We brought wine to sip and learned a ton in a collaborative, engaging, hands-on environment. Mike offered tips and tricks along the way and we learned so much! Highly recommend!

Such a blast! Great group, lots of fun, and now I feel like a sushi pro. Ask Chef Mike about Warren’s world-reknowned Toronto rolls - they’re my new go to sushi roll.

My husband and I had a great experience participating in Chef Mike's "Tour of Asia" class! We enjoyed it so much that we booked his brunch class shortly after, which was equally excellent. We learned general cooking tips, as well as specific recipe tips that prepared us to re-create these dishes at home. It was very hands-on, informative, and fun! Highly recommend Chef Mike.

We had a great class on Sushi making, covering the entire process starting from cutting the vegetables and adding vinegar to the rice. Chef Mike provided tips and recommendations for tools and ingredients so we could make more on our own. We prepared a variety of items, and there was more food than we could eat.

We did a private Dim Sum cooking class with Chef Mike and had an amazing experience! He did a great mix of instructing and cooking, and the end result was some of the best Asian food I've ever had. I would highly recommend any of Chef Mike's classes.

Words simply do not do this experience justice. Mike is such a great host and teacher. The food is phenomenal and the best part is you can recreate it in your own kitchen. My boyfriend booked his private class for the two of us for my birthday and it was the best gift I've received. Great memories, great food, and new skills to share his delightful food with my own family and friends. I would hands-down recommend a cooking class with Chef Mike. Thank you again!

Chef Mike was very welcoming and made the kitchen feel like home. Rather than it being a class where we sit and watch the chef do his thing, Mike made it very interactive, and it was fun to really be a part of the cooking. I would recommend anyone who feels afraid of cooking to give Mike a chance to guide you through the cooking process. The food was AMAZING; the supporting words he had for me and my girlfriend made us feel even more comfortable with cooking! I hope to take another class from Mike, maybe a part two of his Mother Sauces? ;)

We had a great time with Chef Mike. His place is beautiful, everything was clean and ready for us, and he was a generous host. We learned a lot about the methods of cooking four of the "Mother Sauces", and created a perfect hollandaise. Mike is very knowledgeable but still down to earth, and made us feel more like friends than customers. Highly recommended!

Chef Mike was welcoming, fun, and extremely knowledgeable. The class seems perfect for all levels of experience. He made everything easy to understand, but was also happy to go into detail about the chemistry behind the cooking and the history of culinary traditions. My partner and I are vegetarian and he adjusted his menu to accommodate us with ease. I could tell he is passionate about his work and his art! The class was cozy and "chill" while still informative and fascinating. Highly recommend.
