We had an absolutely amazing time with Chef Greg. The paella, and Spanish tortilla were to die for! We have visited Spain before and knew the paella was an undertaking. Chef Greg made it a fun and easy to follow along. We cannot wait to try these on our own and add it to our dinner rotation. Greg was a pleasure to converse with, ask him questions (he’s sure to impress)! We definitely recommend to take a class (or multiple), I know we can’t wait to try the rest out! Thank you!

Chef Greg hit a home run at our house for everything that’s important in a social evening with close friends. The meal was incredibly good. Chef Greg made sure we all felt comfortable participating as much as we wished while simultaneously chatting with our friends and him. He gave easy to follow guidance on meal preparation without it being overwhelming. He let us focus on connecting with friends while he straightened up. What more can you ask for?!!

Thomas

20 Feb 2022

Chef Greg is fantastic. We enjoyed a wonderful evening with great food and conversation and picked up a few cooking/prep tips along the way! When Chef Greg hit heavy traffic coming out to our place near Dulles from DC on a Friday evening, he made sure to keep us posted that he would be a few minutes late (I think he may have made it right on schedule anyway) and then hit the ground running upon arrival. He was gracious with involving my wife and son, who were excited to take part in the cooking process (I was much more excited to watch and eat!), and did a great job of explaining each of the steps and techniques. Fun conversation throughout the evening and, of course, the food was wonderful. It was impressive how a lot of the same basic ingredients could be used in different ways to create very different tastes across the courses. I highly recommend Chef Greg and look forward to trying other courses by him in the future.

Jorge

Thanks Chef for making everything so fun and memorable. Will definitely be doing this again soon.

Chef Greg was fantastic! We didn't know what to expect with someone coming into our kitchen and teaching us. However, he blew us all away! he is extremely knowledgeable and thinks fats on his feet. The food was AMAZING! I have cooked Paella before but never in my life would I taste food so good! Chef Greg brought all the ingredients and all his own tools. He served my girlfriend and I, and while we were chowing down chef Greg did all out dishes to boot! Highly recommend this experience to all!

Amelia

14 Aug 2021

I signed up for the "Southeast Asian Inspiration" as a birthday present for a friend. Such a great experience! quote "one of best presents she's ever gotten".

All of the food was delicious, especially the pho and the panna cotta!

Damian

Hire Chef Greg for your next dinner party or private dinner, you will not be disappointed! Loved it, thanks Greg!

The meal was out of this world and Chef Greg was so experienced and knowledgable without being pretentious! I wasn't sure how the rioja-poached pears would be but they were scrumptious and so light that I woke up dreaming about them!
