Booked the menu Sushi Rolling for Beginners with Chef Alejandro in Chicago (West Town)

We made a cucumber and avocado maki, a crab salad maki, and a tuna handroll. We learned the procedure to create all of these and how to best handle the kitchenware needed. Chef Alejandro was great at first showing us each of the steps we needed to do, then mentoring us as we tried to replicate each of those steps. My partner and made such delicious rolls, and we are now motivated to apply these new skills at home. Chef Alejandro was great at making us feel welcome and taken cared of at his place, and took fun candid pictures of us as we were making our sushi. I highly recommend him for anyone that wants to learn how to make sushi and build great memories!

What a WONDERFUL experience. Chef Alejandro is such a good and patient teacher, teaches not just technique but respect for the process of creating sushi. I just loved his class, and the resulting sushi. Besides the teaching and learning, he also made the experience fun and memorable for our group. Our friends who live here in Chicago will be recommending this experience to others. What a lovely and memorable and yummy experience. HIGHLY recommend.

Chef Alejandro was great to learn from. Everything was well organized and he truly knew how to convey the intricacies of his craft. My daughter, 12 years old, had a great time and Chef went above and beyond to accommodate a special request that wasn't a normal part of his menu. Really a pleasure taking this class.

I gifted this to my brother and his gf and they raved about chef Alejandro. He was super personable and you could tell he tailors to each individual. They loved his class and look forward to their next cooking class with him

We had a wonderful time! Alejandro was very knowledgeable, interesting, and a great teacher. He told us he has been a sushi chef for 16 years, and loves sharing his knowledge with others. We focused a lot on the way the sushi should feel in our mouths, and how to make it patiently and slowly. Thanks so much!

Chef Alejandro rocks! Simply put, he held an incredible event in our home and showed just how passionate he is about his work. He invested a significant amount of time teaching us the start-to-finish skills and tools to make beautiful sushi rolls and hand-rolls. From just this one class, we successfully navigated the entire process again on our own a week later. Whether looking just for a fun event or to learn useful skills to recreate items on your own, Chef Alejandro is your guy.
