Chef Polly was great — very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. She was easy to follow and broke down each recipe simply and clearly. We did the Banchan class and enjoyed its slower pace as we really got to enjoy the process and learn about each dish. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend!

We did the Korean street food experience. Chef Polly was super friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about what she does. Everything was incredibly clean and well organized, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Her recipes were delicious, and she also shared the background behind each dish. My girlfriend and I learned a lot and have already remade some of the dishes at home. Would definitely recommend!

Chef Polly was fantastic throughout the evening. She was prepared, thoughtful, instructive and had a great cooking style. She knew the recipes intimately well and could explain ingredient choice/origin. She also made the instruction fun, with clear thought and creativity injected into each dish. We will definitely be trying a few of the dishes again.

Chef Polly is super knowledgeable and brought some amazing recopies to the class. She was so easy to talk to and guided us throughout the whole day and even prepared a few special side dishes along the way as well. We very much enjoyed our time with her making delicious food, and the cooking space is so beautiful as well with great scenery. We can't wait to try another one of her classes in the near future (and bring our friends!)

My husband and I had an awesome time learning how to make bonchon with Chef Polly! This was our anniversary gift to each other instead of simply going out to eat. We can’t wait to take more of Chef Polly’s classes. She introduced us to new ingredients, recipes and techniques and we left her home confident we can do this at our home. Highly recommend!

This was the best cooking class experience I have ever had. Chef Polly was able to make the entire meal gluten free for me. She was incredibly insightful and warm. My partner and I had the best time at her street food class. Go to her class and you won’t regret it! It was the best bday gift.

Chef Polly was very welcoming, knowledgable, and encouraging. Her home and water front view were beautiful. We learned how to make 4 separate dishes and got to eat along the way. We never felt intimidated and also enjoyed learning the history of the meals.

My partner and I loved our Korean Banchan class with Chef Polly! We felt Polly was empowering us to cook on our own at home, and she gave great tips and little tricks with each recipe. From perfecting the mixed purple rice, to various vegetable side dishes, to making kimchi, we covered a lot. I loved that this class was so hands on, too. Highly recommend!

Chef Polly is very friendly and knowledgeable! She taught us how to make various Korean street foods. Everything was explained very thoroughly, from how to prep the ingredients down to the cooking with lots of opportunity for hands on experience. I’m excited to make the dishes she taught us!

We had such a great time with Chef Polly! Her kitchen is beautiful and perfect for groups. There were three couples and we all had lots of hands-on time and plenty of food. We're excited to make her recipes at home and also use some new techniques we learned.

Chef Polly was a great host and chef! Her home was welcoming and warm (she had a very thoughtful playlist and tea waiting). We learned everything from the basics (i.e. good hygiene and knife skills) to how to make more complex Korean dishes including kimchi pancake, steamed buns (dumplings), and dalgona (the cookies in Squid Game). I would recommend her to any chefs, whether novice or expert <3

We had a great time conversing, learning, and eating the delicious food with Chef Polly during her Korean street food class! The food was delicious and we learned a lot of different cooking techniques that we can hopefully try at home! We took a few steamed buns and dalgona candy home as well which our daughter and mother-in-law really enjoyed! Highly recommend Chef Polly’s class!

Cooking a meal with Chef Polly was a pure delight. Over the holidays family and friends joined Polly in a Korean Essentials class in her home. As many members were serious foodies, Polly took this into account and added some complex dishes such as brisket (still thinking about how savory ans yummy it was). Learned some great techniques and shared a warm and delicious dinner with friends and family. Polly is easygoing and kind but obviously knows her stuff!

I had the most incredible experience at the Running for a Better Oakland (RBO) kickoff Fundraiser Dinner, and we owed much of it to the exceptional dinner Polly provided! The food was delicious, and the presentation was Michelin-star quality... Chef Polly's performance was flawless.

Preparing Korean recipes with Chef Polly was a joyful and delicious experience. Korean food is among my favorite cuisines, and Chef Polly taught us the basics of some popular Korean dishes. The class was participatory, and Polly clearly explained the recipes and process of the food preparation. I highly recommend the course and hope that Chef Polly will teach a class on cooking Korean barbecue.
