Great evening with Chef Roddy and his team. The food was great. We had a good blend of helping to cook and also networking with our team. A wonderful night overall. I would highly suggest. We did the Paella cooking class and it was delicious and plenty of food for all 9 of us. Thank you Chef!'

Booked the class Modernized Spanish Tapas with Chef Ruel in San Jose (North San Jose)

Cooking class with Chef Ruel was a fantastic experience! My boyfriend and I attended the Spanish Tapas class right before Valentine's day. Chef Ruel had a lovely setup with all the necessary ingredients at hand. Another couple was also present for the class and we all split up to chop and prepare different parts of the meal. Chef Ruel provided some basic cooking tips as well ad advanced instruction on how everything comes together for the final presentation. We had a delightful time taking the class and really enjoyed spending the evening with the other couple, Chef Ruel, and Shelly.

Booked the class Secrets of Paella for 2 with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)

Chef Joni was an amazing teacher for our Paella for two class. She had everything laid out beautifully and even had a little snack area so we could munch while cooking. The first thing we made was Sangria, which was lovely to sip on throughout the class. She taught us new techniques for cutting veggies and also introduced us to new ingreidents we hadn't used before. She also made sure to capture all the moments for us, taking pictures, and really laying out her areas to be "instagram ready." We made paella but also a valencia orange cake which was so easy to make and tastey! The decorating of the desserts portion of the class was so fun! Our time with her flew by even though the class actually ran a little longer than scheduled! The result was amazing food and an amazing time. She even took us out to her garden to see the veggies she was growing. She was very kind and obviously passionate about her work. We had plenty of left over food and Sangria to take home. I highly recommend a class with Chef Joni!

We had a great time with Chef Joni. Her class was very informative and the little extras that she did were so appreciated. The knife skills she gave us were so helpful. We loved the Paella and it was nice to have Chef Joni dine with us! She also showed us how to make Spanish Sangria. We so enjoyed our time in the kitchen with Chef Joni!!

Chef Joni's paella class was fabulous! The kitchen was beautiful. Chef Joni was so personable and knowledgeable. We learned about each ingredient, and how different ingredients can be substituted. It was very hands on. The paella tasted delicious, the sangria was sooo good, and the desert, Valencia Orange Cake melted in our mouths. I definitely recommend this class.

Short review - "Chef Joni is amazing!". Long review - We went as a small group (size=8) and we cooked a big pot of Paella. Chef Joni was actively making sure everyone was involved and learned something new! She paced the evening with right amount of explanations pertaining to the recipe and general cooking concepts. She also graciously accommodated the request for a vegetarian paella by some of us. We had great fun and ate a great meal (including appetizers and a cake at the end!). Thank you Chef Joni for the fun evening :)

Chef Joni was amazing! She was so much fun to cook with. She taught us great cooking skills but was careful to meet us where we were at in our culinary experience, and she never made us feel intimidated. One of my favorite parts of the experience was that she brought in alot of food science into the class which helped us to understand what was happening with our food and why at certain points in the process. I would highly recommend taking a class with her!

Had a great time cooking with Joni on Mother's Day. The kitchen was huge with plenty or room for us. My wife, son and I prepared a meal that I believe we could reproduce at home in the future. My 10 year old learned some knife skills, some new kitchen hacks, was very involved in preparing the food, and gained more confidence in the kitchen overall. Oh, and the food was delicious! Great time all-around.

Booked the class Tapas Party! with Chef Hassan

Chef Hassan made our first cooking experience exciting and incredibly fun. He managed 5 strong personalities effortlessly. His jokes and willingness to engage each of us was appreciated and priceless.

Booked the class Tapas Party! with Chef Hassan

I had my doubts about what to expect when I booked Hassan but he blew my expectations out of the water. Not only did he graciously agree to drive 1.5 hours for the class, but he was extremely flexible, friendly and hands-on. He did an incredible job of helping all six of us learn a bunch of different things about cooking everything from lamb to flan and we all agreed it was an excellent night. I'd recommend Hassan to anyone interested in a cooking class. The food is delicious, the class itself is really useful and Hassan was genuinely nice and friendly and a joy to be around. Thanks for everything.

We had no idea what to expect. Chef Joni not only taught us how to make paella but an entire meal. The evening far exceeded our expectations!

It was overall fun, however, we needed to give one of the Paella's more time to cook and there was a ton leftover that was not offered to us.

Booked the class The Mastery of Spanish Fare with Chef Roddy in San Jose (Campbell)

We had an absolutely incredible experience learning to cook with Chef Roddy and his team. From the moment we arrived, the energy was warm, welcoming, and effortlessly professional. Chef Erick has a true gift—not just for cooking, but for teaching. He breaks things down in a way that’s engaging, approachable, and genuinely fun, whether you’re a beginner or someone who already loves being in the kitchen. The highlight of the experience was making paella—and not just any paella, but hands down the best we’ve ever had. Every step, from layering flavors to perfecting the texture of the rice, was thoughtfully guided. You can tell Chef Erick is passionate about his craft, and that passion carries through in every detail. His team was equally fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly in sync, which made the whole experience feel seamless and elevated. It never felt rushed, and there was a great balance of hands-on learning, storytelling, and enjoying the process. This wasn’t just a cooking class—it was a memorable culinary experience. We walked away not only with new skills, but with a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking (and a serious craving for paella). Highly, highly recommend Chef Roddy and his team—you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great time learning new recipes with Chef Libby. Her laid back approach made rather fancy dishes seem easy, and the results were delicious. I peppered her with a ton of questions about how to pick which shrimp to buy at the store, suggestions for what to do with leftover egg whites, etc., and Chef Libby answered them all. Thanks Chef Libby!

Chef Joni was amazing!! 110% recommend taking her cooking. My boyfriend and I took her paella class and boy was it fun! We had her come to our home to help us celebrate our 4 year anniversary. We started with the cheese platter which tasted amazing and she taught us what goes well together and definitely introduced us to amazing products! Then we moved on the sangria to sip throughout the night. She taught us so many new skills especially with cutting, which was something new for the both of us. Chef Joni was energetic and knowledgeable about cooking and we had such a memorable time with her. After getting the paella pretty much done we decorated and platted our dessert which was a blast, we definitely got to be creative with this part and the dessert was so yummy. Overall we loved every minute of our time with CHef Joni and would definitely take another one of her classes.

My girlfriend and I booked Chef Ruel for a pre-Valentines Day (February 13th) cooking experience, and we can’t say enough about how great our evening was! We worked with fresh ingredients and took turns learning various cooking techniques, while we prepared our meal. The atmosphere was very light and Chef Ruel was very accommodating to both our dietary restrictions and our varied levels of cooking experience. At the end of the night we enjoyed a meal that I would have paid good money to be served at a fancy restaurant for Valentines Day. We’re definitely going to book another cooking experience with Chef Ruel, and we’re bringing a bunch of our friends with us. Five Stars!

Chef Joni was absolutely amazing! I surprised my husband and he said this was the best birthday ever! Chef Joni really listened to our preferences and brought that into the kitchen and to the table! She showed us some neat cooking tips and knife cutting skills that my husband and I really appreciated. And what can I say about the food except it was divine. The paella was beautiful, robust in flavor and oh so fun to cook. The pratata bravas was really easy to make and tasted fresh. And the cake had just right amount of citrus, moist and easy to bake. Now I’m no baker (except maybe Betty crocker’s sous chef maybe), but this cake I’ll definitely try at home. Chef also taught us some cool playing tricks! My husband will definitely want to come back and do this again. Thank you Chef!

We took the Secrets of Paella class with Chef Joni and had a blast. This was our first cooking class so we weren't sure what to expect. Joni is highly knowledgeable and obviously passionate about what she does. She welcomed us into her beautiful kitchen and hosted a group of guests ranging from novice to experienced. We learned a great deal while having a fun time. An excellent alternative to the traditional dinner date, but also great for families and solo guests alike (all of the above were present). We definitely plan to sign up for more classes in the future!

Attended the Paella class with Joni last Sat and had a great time! The class was held in her beautiful new home which of course had a large wonderfully equipped kitchen. We all donned aprons and chefs jackets and went at it after mixing some good Sangrias with the wine I brought:) The class was very informative and Joni talked a bit thin sciences and teqniques. The class was very hands on with everyone having the chance to chop, shake, measure, cook etc. ingredients were great quality as was the instruction. Highly recommended and I’m looking forward to taking her pasta class in the near future!
