Amazing afternoon learning proper technique and improving our knife skills. Chef Kristin provided a very professional cooking experience in her fantastic kitchen and stunning home. The presentation and organization of the class was perfect for what we wanted to learn. She was a joy to learn from and share stories with. Highly recommend her for any of the courses she instructs.

Really informative class, lots of vegetable cutting with a chefs knife. Kristin is an accomplished chef who enjoys teaching in her beautiful home suited for sophisticated dining. We prepared five veggie dishes which we got to eat. Would recommend it for anyone who wants to understand the importance of preparation and basic vegetable cutting.

My husband and I decided to take a cooking class as a different idea for date night. We had such a great time cooking together in Chef Kristin's kitchen. The space is great and we got to enjoy the backyard space as well, eating the meal we made on their patio. We even pulled some of the fresh produce straight from their garden! We loved it and will definitely be back for another class.

I usually don't write reviews but am so impressed with Chef Kristin and the Orange Kitchen experience I wanted to share. In short, there is nothing like Orange Kitchen in Vista. I have now been to multiple Orange Kitchen cooking classes and had a blast each time. The whole experience is organized, informative, and relaxed. Chef Kristin is very knowledgeable and always provides the right level of information, guidance, and useful tips. Using my learnings in class and the materials provided, I have been able to replicate the plant based meals and the more complex gluten free baking recipes. Orange Kitchen has reignited my passion for cooking that faded as I uncovered my dietary restrictions. And perhaps most importantly, I've been inspired to eat and generally be more healthy thanks to Kristin.

I attended Orange Kitchen's "Culinary Knife Skills" class, Chef Kristin was the instructor. It was really practical, hands-on, and fun. We learned and practiced the fundamentals of Japanese and French cutting techniques, all of which I use every time I cook now. All our practice translated into a great meal we cooked together and shared. Chef Kristin also gave us affordable knife recommendations. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who cooks.
