Chef Luis did an amazing job helping me bring my family together for the love of cooking. We did the Cuisines of the World, and my Dad, brother and I joined Chef Luis in learning some of our favorite dishes. Having Chef Luis in your home is like family being there. He makes you feel comfortable and does a great job of managing us all through the recipes. And the food….it was outstanding if I do say so myself!
