Our team of 11 participated in the pasta challenge with Chef Cregg. His welcome was so warm and the charcuterie board was spectacular. Chef Cregg provided the best instructions without overwhelming the team. Our team was excited and energized as we prepped and cooked each course. What an endeavor and the results were memorable.

What a great night with Cregg. His food was delicious, he was patient, on time and we learned a lot. Cregg had a great vibe and we had a lot of fun cooking with him. We will definitely use his sevices again!!!

We selected the Thai From Scratch cooking lesson to celebrate my mom's birthday and it was the best gift. Chef Cregg kept our whole family engaged -- teaching better knife skills to our most advance cooks and answering all our random questions about food prep along the way. We all learned something and enjoyed the hands on time together. What a special experience. We will definitely do this again!

Chef Cregg’s Charcuterie Board demonstration was fabulous! We had so much fun participating in preparing, cooking, and building our boards. His presentation, personality and professionalism was outstanding. He is highly recommend and we look forward to another party in the future! Thanks again Chef!

We had a fantastic time with Chef Cregg. He is very knowledgable, a great teacher and excellent chef. We preferred to have a cooking demonstration instead of a cooking class and he was very accommodating. Highly recommended!

Thank you Chef Cregg for a wonderful team building cooking class. We were early to the class as parking was surprisingly easy, but Chef was ready for us. The class was exciting, very informative and incredibly delicious. All 11 of us got plenty of hands on cooking time, tons of tips, knife safety skills and Chef Cregg worked hard at increasing our perception of various ingredients (fresh herbs, dried mushrooms etc). The meal at the end was exquisite. We were very satisfied! 5 stars, would take the class again!

Chef Cregg is the real deal. He has a strong background as a chef and he’s a great teacher. It’s rare to find both! His space has a cool warehouse conversion-type vibe. The equipment we used was pretty basic, which makes it more likely that we’ll be able to replicate the techniques at home. With that said, this was a busy lesson with lessons learned around every corner. Definitely need to bring some energy to get the most out of it.

We joined Chef Cregg for an advanced class although we are beginners. Chef adapted and took the time to first re-explained a bunch of basics such as knives holding and slicing (vegetables, meat, etc). Everything was setup in advance (materials, ingredients) so we can focus on the prep and cooking and we had 1 station each with plenty of space. Chef would show us the expectations, teaches us techniques (ex: how to use the different robots and tools) and I loved that he let us do everything. My BF and I really enjoyed the experience, the food turned out great and we had leftovers :P Highly recommend Chef Cregg and his Southern France menu!

Lovely experience at Chef Cregg's unique and artsy space in Oakland. As others have said, his lessons are packed with practical and actionable tidbits and he's an experienced teacher, sharing his knowledge and expertise in a way that anyone, from the novice to the experienced, can learn something new to take home. You can sense his creative side in every part of his studio space, full of interesting details, every tool ever needed, and funky music to make the evening special. At first glance, the menu might seem simple, but don't be fooled: this is truly a special dinner, with delicious flavors, surprise ingredients (luxurious ones, too), and using all kinds of expert techniques. It's a meal you are going to want to replicate for someone special in your life. We were a bit slow on the cooking, so we only got eating by the time our session should have been done. The result is that we gobbled everything up super quickly (wish we had had a bit more time to relax, but we also had a babysitter waiting). So while you should bring an appetite, I'd suggest eating a light snack before coming so that you aren't like us, trying to eat everything as we were making it. We enjoyed our time at Chef Cregg's and highly recommend this experience!

An enjoyable experience for my friend and me. Chef Cregg was super-knowledgeable, professional, patient, and positive. Loved the menu he chose for this class and learned a lot of extra tips from him while preparing and cooking the food. Would definitely like to take more classes with Chef Cregg in the future!

My wife and I had such an incredible time with Cregg. We learned a huge amount and he was able to cater the lessons to our level of experience. It was all hands-on from start to finish with a rich amount of information, and pro tips. The class went more than an hour over time and we never felt rushed. The food was incredible, and we got to take home a TON of delicious leftovers. This was really a phenomenal experience.

Chef Cregg was absolutely and utterly exceptional. He took our bizarre Airbnb kitchen totally in stride and was totally delightful and taught us a ton and we wound up with an amazing dinner. Best bachelorette party ever!

Chef Cregg was amazing!! From his introduction, throughout our dinner, and until the time we left we had a blast. My wife and I did not know what to expect and chef Cregg exceeded our expectations. The food was great, we laughed, we learned great techniques and will definitely be going back.
