Amazing Thai Cooking Experience with Chef Made!
What an incredible experience! Chef Made was exceptionally hospitable and welcoming, inviting us into his home and making us feel like friends rather than just students. His warmth and enthusiasm made the entire class fun and engaging from start to finish.
Chef Made expertly guided us through preparing traditional Thai dishes, breaking down techniques in a way that showed us just how easy and approachable these recipes can be at home. He even shared valuable tips on where to find special ingredients, which was so helpful.
What really made this experience special was Chef Made himself - he's not only a talented chef but also interesting and fun to talk to. It truly felt like we were cooking and sharing a meal with a friend rather than taking a formal class.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in Thai cooking, and I'd jump at the chance to take any class with Chef Made. We're already looking forward to doing this again!

I recently attended a sushi-making class with a wonderful chef, and the experience was truly amazing. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I arrived. The chef was incredibly kind — he even waited patiently when I was running late due to traffic. His warm personality, sense of humor, and down-to-earth attitude made the class both fun and engaging.
The sushi itself was plentiful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I left not only full and happy, but also confident in my ability to make sushi on my own in the future. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning the art of sushi making.

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Made Master. The five of us love to cook and we were very interested in learned new recipes. It was a hands-on inspirational opportunity in the cozy kitchen. The flavors, spices, and wonderful aroma from the dishes were amazing. Chef Made was excellent in explaining the ingredients & techniques and the finished dishes were delicious. Not only did we learn a lot and have a lovely meal, but Chef Made was very enjoyable to cook with. Everyone raved about how cool this class was and we highly recommend this experience with Chef Made.

The Thai cooking class was absolutely fantastic. Unlike other cooking classes, this one didn't require fancy technical skills or kitchen appliances that you were encouraged to buy. All the ingredients are easy to find in the area, so you can easily replicate everything at home.
Chef Made also answered every question we had and provided recommendations for different spice levels and proteins that work for the sauces we made. He was also very laid back and just really pleasant to learn from.
I would HIGHLY recommend the Thai cooki g class and any class led by Chef Made!

Chef Made is so talented and prepared and taught us three amazing dishes. The class was interactive and informative. The meal was customized to accommodate me. I am gluten free and did not feel like I was being a burden. He was so gracious and food was amazing. I am so excited to try these dishes at home. I would highly recommend this class and will definitely try another. Great evening and experience. Thank you!

Chef Made was so kind, knowledgeable, patient, fun, and entertaining! I had such a lovely time and it was the perfect way to spend a Friday night date night. His home was so nice and the set up was perfect for learning the recipes while still having his guidance. The food was of course beyond delicious and I appreciate that he made large portions so we could take leftovers home. I can’t recommend this class enough!

Hi there,
Chef was great for us! He was patient, talented and the cooking experience was great for my son and husband, as hoped! He brought the food to cook, having prepped some in advance, and spent time one on one with both my son and husband and some together.
My only suggestion would be to have a handout that explains or reinforces things at the end to help memory.
Chef's communication to me directly was clear and helpful--a photo of him driving when en route, sent when I asked for confirmation. And he sent a couple of great photos of my son and husband after they made the delicious meal. My sixteen year old was especially proud to learn some cooking--and plate preparation--skills. And he loved the chance to make and eat a meal I cannot!!
Chef was GREAT. And so was our experience with him! We will surely do such an event again, and likely try to do a cooking experience with him in particular. He was great with my son and husband, who are both fairly quiet, yet interested in cooking!!

Maybe it was different for others, but I had a hard time hearing and understanding the directions given. It would be helpful to slow down and speak more slowly and clearly. It would also be helpful to have more specific instructions regarding what to have ready. We bought the wrong kind of seaweed that was difficult to work with, there were no portions provided for tuna, and got wrong mayonnaise. Frustrating.

Sushi Chef Made was spectacular. A true rockstar in the flesh - figuratively and literally.
We ate like kings, and had a blast learning how to make sushi. We are stoked to put our new found knowledge to work in our own kitchen this week. Chef Made was very genuine, kind, and a gracious teacher & host of his program.

Dear Chef Made Master,
My daughter and I truly enjoyed the class. We made a few more California rolls after class and I think we are getting much better at the rolling. Now, to do better with the Salmon cutting. We didn't make the Tuna but I will try that this week. Take care and happy holidays!

Great class in technique. Answered a lot of questions I had about making this at home, puts my mind at ease knowing if I get posted away from good food again, I can recreate recipes myself. To the chef: sorry I wasn’t talkative! I can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, I was trying to follow along and clean up my workstation at the same time! ? Thanks for all the good tips. It was a class that will stick with me.

Chef Made Master was fantastic. He is one of the most humble and accommodating chefs that I have met. He is talented but really makes him a tier ahead is that he is not cocky and is willing to answer even the “stupid” questions. The food was fantastic while the presentation was stupendous. Made my wife’s 40th bday memorable for life.
Dennis
26 Jul 2021
Chef Made and his assistant arrived right on time and spent the next two hours setting up the most amazing sushi presentation I've ever seen. The fish was superb, and several people commented that it was the best they'd ever had of each variety. He is very personable and highly talented...amazing to have a top restaurant chef here in our home. Definitely a lifetime memory.

Chef Made is clearly a sushi expert and guided our group through the steps to prepare and make and the sushi. He was always happy to help answer questions and checked in with us as we progressed. We had to scramble a bit to gather bowls and plates as we went along, so it might be handy to let participants know ahead of time what to set out beforehand.

We had a great experience in Made's class. We had never made sushi in any professional way before. He took his time to explain everything to us, including writing a few things on a white board. His knife skills were VERY impressive and he made several funny jokes to make us all feel relaxed. The sushi came out delicious, and we are confident that we could make it at home now. Our only suggestion would be to add some light background music so there won't be complete silence in the pauses between steps or while eating. Overall, we had an amazing time and would recommend Chef Made's Maki Mania class to others.
Max
27 Jan 2020

My girlfriend and I went to Chef Made Master's house and even though it was just the two of us we had an absolutely great time. Chef Made was a very gracious host and obviously a great teacher as well.

I took the intermediate sushi making class with Chef Made Master in his home. First off, his home was very clean and inviting with individual stations for me and my boyfriend. When we were arrived, we were super excited to experience this private cooking lesson! Chef Made Master was a very knowledgeable and patient sushi instructor. From preparing the rice to rolling the sushi, this class encompassed all the skills needed to make sushi. We learned how exactly to mix the rice with vinegar along with the different types of knife cuts for the various ingredients. He took his time in explaining the processes and also helped us if we ran into any problems. All of the food that we prepared was delicious and I would definitely take another cooking class with Chef Made Master!

Excellent experience! Chef Made was a patient and kind instructor and taught us all about the sushi making process. We would work through sections of the menu and then take breaks to eat. It was nice that he would adjust the process based on what we were excited to do. More than enough food, we had to take some home and he gave a bottle of sake as a gift. Highly recommend.

Chef Made Master provided us with an unfortgetable and invaluable experience, and we would highly recommend him to anyone. He was so kind, helpful, and encouraging as he patiently instructed us in the art of making sushi. He took time to explain and demonstrate things, while allowing us to be entirely hands on. He is clearly born to teach. He was so knowledgeable about his work, and we learned so many cool things about sushi in general by just talking with him throughout the evening. The atmosphere was positive and relaxed, and we really felt like we were hanging out with a friend. The amount of food he brings is practically bottomless too, so we had tons of amazing leftovers! Best of all, we actually feel like we can make proper and delicious sushi for years to come, all thanks to his help. We feel so lucky to have stumbled upon him! Hire him, you won’t regret it :)

Chef Made was truly an amazing experience. He came with all the materials necessary and taught us everything we needed to know about making sushi. He even went out and brought Toro (Fatty Tuna) because it was my favorite. He kept in great communication the entire time, was very polite and kind, and also brought us a bottle of sake as a gift.
If you're still reading this, do yourself a favor and book him now!

Making sushi is an art form. From the cooking and handling of the rice to slicing raw fish, every chef has his own style and techniques. Chef Made is not different. And it is very obvious that he honors and respects his craft. Watching his knife skills at work is almost like watching a ballot. He does't just build unique and visually impressive dishes, he creates and crafts them. And then there is the melding of favors. Chef Made combines traditional sushi styles with new and innovative flavor profiles that he has formulated. That makes watching Chef Made work is the fact that he does all this while keeping up a conversation with his guest. He is shy at first, but its obvious that he likes to engage with his guests, discussing raw fish varieties and why each is used in a a specific dish. Getting to know him is easy. Just ask him about drumming, his other passion.
