Booked the class Paella and Spanish Tapas Workshop with Chef Jordan in Washington (Trinidad)
First time doing a cooking class and as nervous as we were it was super comfortable working with Jordan. No matter your experience he had everyone involved at every step, and we learned a lot throughout the night. I can't cook rice to save my life but now I can make paella (no big deal). We will absolutely book another class not just with this site (bc the possibilities are endless) but would love to work with Jordan again.

Our hands-on pasta making session with Chef Jordan was both highly educational and incredibly enjoyable. I arranged the class as a birthday surprise for my partner (who is an inspiring chef), and the instruction was top-notch. Chef Jordan provided detailed guidance on every step of the process: from fundamental skills like properly cutting onions, to selecting the correct ingredients (flour, tomatoes), to advanced techniques for kneading dough and sautéing. It was a delicious and rewarding experience. This class is an excellent choice for a memorable date night or anyone looking to truly elevate their cooking skills.

One of the most fun things I’ve ever done! My BF and I have been ravin about it for days. Justin was super helpful, hilarious, and made the whole experience even better. The food was delicious, and he went above and beyond—chatting with us about anything, taking tons of pictures (so sweet!), and letting us get creative with handrolls + other rolls after making the main menu items. We were in a bit of a rush at the end, and somehow, he cleaned everything up in like 10 minutes. Highly recommend. We were also STUFFED and had leftovers.

Booked the class Fusion Date Night with Chef Gustavo in Washington (Shaw)
From the moment my wife and I stepped into his kitchen, Chef Gustavo's warm and personable nature put us at ease. His passion for cooking was immediately evident as he introduced us to the evening's menu, which featured a delightful array of dishes. We began with sautéed shrimp infused with garlic, parsley, and dried chiles de árbol atop green plantain cakes. Chef Gustavo guided us through the process of preparing and cooking the plantains, demonstrating techniques that were both practical and impressive. Chef Gustavo's professional demonstration made a seemingly daunting task accessible and fun, especially with wrapping fillets in banana leaves. The sweet crêpes for dessert were the perfect conclusion to the meal. Chef Gustavo's couples cooking class was as enriching as enjoyable, highlighting Chef Gustavo's vast expertise and ability to create an engaging and informative atmosphere. Clear instructions and helpful tips made it easy for everyone to achieve perfect results; the hands-on approach made us feel confident and capable as we worked through each step. Throughout the class, his anecdotes and personal stories added a delightful layer of entertainment. Chef Gustavo's cooking class was a fantastic blend of learning and enjoyment. His expert guidance and personable teaching style made for an unforgettable culinary evening.
