We thoroughly enjoyed the creative and whimsical menu of Studio Ghibli inspired dishes, expertly crafted by Chef Vivian. If you are seeking a delightful and imaginative experience, or a unique date idea for couples, this offering comes highly recommended. Chef Vivian and Michi graciously welcomed us into their home, where we had the pleasure of engaging in the art of cooking. They are both wonderful individuals and exceptional instructors. We had a truly enjoyable time sharing and learning about culinary arts and cultural interests that we mutually appreciate. It was particularly pleasing that we prepared a four-course meal and were able to take home any uneaten portions. Additionally, a digital recipe list for each dish was provided. This class offers a relaxing, highly entertaining atmosphere, and the discussions were very engaging. We wholeheartedly recommend this class and eagerly anticipate participating in more classes with Chef Vivian and Michi in the future. ありがとうございます。

We participated in The Bear themed cooking class. Chef Vivian & Michi welcomed us into their home, were very friendly, easy going and great teachers. Their cultural backgrounds made for great conversation and the meal was so full of flavor. We would absolutely participate in a future class with these chefs

For Mother’s Day this year, I bought two seats for a class with Chef Ricky. This was our first time ever doing a cooking class together and we did the Japanese A5 Wagyu lesson. We cooked an incredible steak- having the opportunity to eat A5 Japanese Wagyu is rare, and we were so grateful for the opportunity. Chef Ricky was so much fun to work with- I have a deep passion for Japan and he very clearly does as well, so it was really enjoyable to hear about his experiences with the culture and country- especially the food experiences! Cannot wait to try out his other classes in the future! Such a treat!

Chef Ricky was incredible! This was a gift for my wife's birthday and we had such an incredible time. Chef helped us put together a delicious A5 Wagyu full course meal. Aside from the great food, he is a great story teller and made us feel so comfortable and welcome. Would highly recommend this experience for a special night and we look forward to booking with him again soon and bringing some friends along.

I had such a lovely time at the Cozy Brunch cooking class today! The chef was very fun and very professional, kind, and explained everything clearly. The recipes were delicious and easy to follow, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I learned new tips I can use at home. Thank you for a beautiful experience!

An incredible experience we’ll never forget! We got started with our main goal of learning how to cut an onion! From there, we learned how to prepare a wonderful meal from start to finish. This was a warm and memorable evening, after the first whisk, we were cooking with friends. We’re grateful to have met such a wonderful team and gained the tools to enhance our own meals at home. Thank you, Vivian and Michi!!

We had such an amazing time learning how to make pasta. It’s only been a day and my husband won’t stop talking about wanting to recreate the menu—which we are planning on doing tomorrow already. Not only would I recommend the House of Gucci experience but we’re looking into other classes this duo offers.

We signed up for the “The Bear” cooking class for a date night, we’re big fans of the show and figured, why not cook like it? Chef Vivian and Chef Michi were great, super easy to talk to, really down to earth, and made the whole thing feel comfortable. We had some really good conversations with them about their cooking backgrounds, what food means to them, and even got some cool travel tips for their home countries, Peru and Japan. The whole night just felt really warm and inviting just like hanging out with friends who just happen to be amazing chefs. The class was a four course meal, and honestly everything we made was great, but the two that really stood out were Sydney’s omelette with the potato chips on top and the risotto. That omelette was such a clever idea, and we’ve already said we’re making it again at home. It was quite easy and I may be investing in a new kitchen gadget for the house, a Japanese tamago pan! And the risotto’s something I’ve always avoided because it seemed like such a hassle, but the way they taught it made it feel totally doable, I’m actually excited to try it again. It was far less daunting than I thought. The after dinner, we got to play with Agar Agar to make some cool dessert pearls to top our ice cream with, we felt like a mix of a scientist and chef. What I appreciated most was how approachable it all was. The food looked and tasted like something from a nice restaurant, but nothing about it felt overcomplicated or intimidating. Nothing was too greasy or overly processed, just nice clean ingredients that made for tasty dishes. I’ve done other classes before where it’s rushed and overly fancy and you walk out thinking, “Well… not doing that again.” This was completely different, they showed us how to make impressive dishes that actually feel possible to recreate at home. And the little tips and tricks they shared really stuck with me, especially the tip about scoring mushrooms (we felt like pros) and not washing the flavor off before cooking. You get to cook and eat a full four-course meal, learn from two super talented chefs, and walk away with a fun memory you’ll actually want to tell people about. If you’re looking for a fun, cozy date night or just want to pick up some new cooking skills without feeling overwhelmed, I definitely recommend booking with Chef Vivian and Michi. It was relaxed, memorable, and just a really good time. We’ll definitely be back for another class.

They showed us in clear easy instructions how to make each items and the steps involved. They had answered all our questions and gave advice on how to change the dishes when making at home for new taste. I feel confident with their recipe and instructions, I can now take this home and share with friends.

I originally booked the kids sushi class as a gift for my daughter’s birthday and my husband also booked the ramen class for our anniversary. The ramen class was first and it was such a great experience. It was much easier than expected and everything was simply delicious. I definitely feel like I could go home and make my own ramen one day

Chef Ricky was absolutely amazing! You could tell right away that he was not only very experienced, but extremely knowledgeable about not just sushi, but lots of other food. He set a great atmosphere with music, and a food station set up like you would see in sushi bars, so you did everything that they would do. The rolls came out delicious thanks to his guidance and fresh ingredients! We would definitely take other classes from him.

I loved the class with Vivian and Michi. They are so cute together and worked well together. They were so friendly and willing to help and answer questions. They told us we could text them if we ever have any questions about bread making. That was wonderful to hear! We made herb flavored scones that were excellent, bread rolls that were very tasty and cinnamon rolls that were delicious! We all sampled our goods and then took home the rest! I have told my friends and neighbors about this class. I may be back again with my daughter!
