Chef Derrick was wonderful! He had prepared a four course menu and was more than happy to accommodate requested changes (including the primary meat to switch out the main course!). We cooked an Asian fusion meal, which included scallion pancakes, Singaporean noodles, chicken satay, and mango sticky rice. The food was AMAZINGLY good, and the experience even better! Chef Derrick was patient, relaxed, and very comfortable to be around as we all cooked. He took the lead as needed and answered all sorts of questions , making for lively cooking conversation. He also made so much food - enough for others to join our three-person cooking party and still more to take home. I can't recommend the experience enough.

Chef Derrick was on time, friendly, and made good food. Overall we did this as an experience to celebrate a friend's 39th birthday. I should have communicated better, but I am used to cooking classes being hands on and assumed they were all the same. It ended up being Chef Derrick preparing everything and explaining while he does it. There was 3 of us ladies total and about 10 min into the session we ended up sitting on the couch chit chatting and drinking wine while Chef Derrick became our personal chef for the evening. It ended up being great in an unexpected way. I do recommend for anyone who is set on wanting a more hand on experience to communicate this expectation when working with Chef Derrick. We also had a small kitchen space and apartment so maybe that played a roll as well.
