Jordan was a great host and chef! Taught our group of 4 tons of techniques and great things about how to get quality products from our local grocery stores.

I attended Chef Jordan's Art of Ancestral Cooking class. Chef Jordan was an exceptional host. Chef Jordan shared lots of detailed information about the spices and ingredients he used to prepare the meal and where he purchases these items (or grows). He was well versed on the methods of preparation and cooking, and all portions of the meal prepared were outstanding.

Such a fun class for our group of four. Chef Jordan was able to accommodate allergies in our group and modify the menu. Great ingredients. Perfect ratio of "work" and learning to socializing with our friends.

The cook was great. I was not impressed with the location. They had nothing to open wine with, I thought they would be more prepared, like having the wine glasses, the water glasses all set up. Nothing was set. I had to do all of it. No aprons to cook. Everyone was getting dirty. I would never go back to this location. The bathrooms were very dirty. I will probably never use this again. I have 2 buildings, and I thought I had the perfect thing. I was not impressed at all with the amount of money they charged.

We really enjoyed our time with Jordan. He was very impressive and was very considerate throughout the whole course. We left with a large amount of left overs and he also gifted me with a box of umami mushrooms that inspired me to make chicken with mushroom sauce on top of noodles mirroring the methods he taught in his class. The other attendee that came with me also wanted me to say she enjoyed his beautiful dog! ?

We just loved having Jordan cook for us. He was personable and the food was delicious. He worked with all of our food allergies/issues and prepared an outstanding dinner for us. We have mahi mahi for our main course and it was wonderful. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary on this weekend and the meal couldn't have been better. Thanks Jordan!

Incredible experience! Chef Jordan was very friendly and made us feel right at home while we learned to make authentic Italian pasta. Chef Jordan is very knowledgeable and has a great passion for his craft. We learned so much from Chef while having a fun and engaging experience. I cannot recommend Chef Jordan enough! We had an amazing experience full of delicious food, and will certainly be looking at the other classes he offers!

Great class with tasty food! Chef Jordan is very knowledgable and friendly. The class is in his home, which was welcoming and inviting. Just a word of advice: Definitely take the larger of your vehicles as he is up in the mountains (beautiful area). But all in all, would recommend!

Despite the glowing reviews, our night with Chef Jordan was a little disappointing. We weren’t offered any crudités with hummus as shown in the menu, and we’d have been a lot happier if we’d been able to help more with the cooking. He showed us how to chop the vegetables and then left us to do it rather than correct our errors, and we helped with the pasta machine, but we weren’t involved at all in the desert, which wasn’t even the same desert that was advertised. We weren’t even offered aprons, which seems basic, though from the little cooking we did, they weren’t really necessary. Chef Jordan was pleasant but lacked enthusiasm. My sister remarked that it felt like we’d been invited to someone’s house for an okay dinner, but that it was obvious that the host didn’t really want us to be there. That is exactly how it felt! It’s a shame, and the food we did have was nice. It was just far, far too much money for a subpar experience.

I am not one to write reviews, especially bad ones, but I thought that it needed objective feedback. We thought of it as an opportunity to get away from the city and tried to justify the price for the experience. Don't get me wrong - definitely a nice guy and good food. But was it worth $300 for the two of us? No. He showed us how to chop and explained what he was doing as he was cooking, but nothing about the experience was "farm-to-table." We thought it was probably the season - we went when it was coldish. But if that was the case, the posting should have made that very clear. I would say I had reasonable expectations given the price and others' reviews, but I came out of the experience disappointed. It also said it would last about 3 hours, but we were done in 1.5 hours. We are thinking maybe we are just a one-off...? Anyway, if anybody asked me, I would say spend your money elsewhere. It wasn't worth it for us - the time and the price.

Chef Jordan was great with our kids. Punctual, organized, efficient, and made the experience very fun and memorable.

My girlfriend Molly and I took an Indian cooking class with Chef Jordan and we loved it! We weren’t sure how it would be going into someone else’s home for the class but Jordan made it super comfortable and had great energy. We learned so much about spices, prepping methods, and ways to cook it was super interesting and fun. The food was unbelievably good. Thank you Jordan for welcoming us into your home and teaching/feeding us! 10/10 would recommend!

My wife and I had a fantastic time with Jordan - he taught us a few Indian dishes (all delicious) and we had leftovers afterwards... we had leftover tandoori sauce and are making tandoori chicken with it tonight. Would definitely recommend Jordan to anyone considering his class

Chef Jordan was very nice and knowledgeable. He did a great job coaching my partner and I through some of the cooking techniques with which we were unfamiliar.
