Thank you, Chef Mordechai for an unforgettable meal! Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with fresh, seasonal ingredients (from his own garden!) and cooked to absolute perfection. We honestly felt like we were transported to a Michelin-starred restaurant, but with the added comfort and intimacy of being in our own home. Thank you for the amazing experience!!

We had a great class with Chef Motti! We’ve been trying to learn how to best use our new Ooni pizza oven and he showed us a bunch of helpful tips and tricks. He made our experience very interactive, and all of the food was delicious. We would highly recommend this class for anyone looking to learn about making pizza or hoping to up their game.

Chef Mordechai is amazing. My pizza making cooking class with Chef Mordechai was the best cooking class I ever had. The class is fun and very hands on. Chef brought a lot of extra materials for everyone to have plenty to practice and nailed the techniques and everything tasted amazing. Chef also agree to show us how to use my own wood burning pizza oven and share lots of tips. I will definitely recommend this class to everyone!

We had an absolutely amazing class with Chef Motti! I got this experience as a birthday gift for my husband and he said it was the coolest birthday gift! Chef Motti brought over such fresh ingredients and we had an incredible time making pizzas with him. He taught us so much in terms of making the dough, techniques for stretching it, how to properly place the pizzas in the oven, etc. Chef Motti was so kind and patient in answering any and all questions we had, and he was such a delight to spend time with. And to top it all off, the pizzas (and all the other food) were SO tasty!!! Some of the best pizza I've ever had. And we had plenty for leftovers! (He was also so efficient and thorough with all the clean-up after the cooking.) I would HIGHLY recommend this class, or any other experiences, with Chef Motti.

We had such an awesome class with Chef Moti! He came to our apartment and was so organized with the recipes and needed equipment that we didn't have. The Mediterranean food we made through his guidance SO delicious, truly some of the best med food I've had (and big portions, enough for leftovers :)). He was very accommodating with dietary restrictions, collaborating with me to come up with a menu that worked for our group. He created a fun atmosphere that my family all enjoyed, we shared laughs and stories of life. He taught us cooking techniques that I'm excited to take into our everyday cooking. Overall, our experience exceeded expectations. Thanks, Chef Moti!

I purchased an outdoor gas pizza oven but had no clue how to use it. Chef Motti graciously set the oven up, taught me how to use it and make the most delicious at home pizza. His tips for working with the dough are invaluable. He’s an excellent teacher - personable, patient and encouraging.

Chef Moti was great! Under his guidance, we successfully prepared falafel, and they turned out really well! He's a skilled teacher, and I highly recommend his class.

Truly a 10/10 class. Chef Mordechai is the best! This was such a fun experience filled with great food, wonderful company, and valuable learnings. I cannot recommend this enough if you are looking for a date night or a fun evening with friends. He is very respectful of your home and answered all our cooking questions with ease, no matter how simple they were. It truly felt like we were learning from a master chef (because we were!).
