Chef David provided an amazing atmosphere for our cooking class. He has a beautiful studio kitchen that was so beautifully maintained with top of the line equipment. It felt like I was in a professional kitchen. I most certainly will be back to cook with Chef David! 10/10 experience.

Chef David made the class so fun and engaging! I learned a good amount too as someone who does bare bones cooking. Loved the food we made and I feel confident to recreate the recipes at my home.

The steak featured was pretty flimsy. Given that, the experience seemed overpriced, though fun.

My fiancé and I recently had the pleasure of attending a fried chicken and biscuit cooking class and it exceeded all our expectations! Chef David's passion for Southern cuisine was evident from the start, and his friendly demeanor created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The hands-on experience kicked off with the secrets of achieving the perfect fried chicken with seasoning and marination. While we waited for the chicken to marinate, we transitioned into making the biscuits. Chef David shared his foolproof grandma's biscuit recipe. The hands-on approach allowed us to feel the dough's texture and witness the magic unfold as the biscuits rose to perfection in the oven. While waiting for the biscuits to bake in the oven, we also had the opportunity to learn how to fry the chicken to golden perfection. The highlight of the class, of course, was the tasting session. The joy of sinking my teeth into the crispiest and flavorful fried chicken and pairing it with a tender, buttery biscuit was simply incomparable. If you're a food enthusiast or just looking to up your kitchen game, Chef David's class is an absolute must!

Chef David made the class feel so personal, sharing his background, career journey, and passions. We got to meet new people and cook with another couple. Chef David shared knife techniques, some cultural aspects of Spanish cuisine and cookware, and also let us try baking skills. Then, we shared our meal family style after and everything was delicious!.

Chef David was AWESOME!! We had such a great time. And David's sarcastic humor was top notch...and his cooking skills aren't bad either :-P Kidding...he was a great teacher, and very relaxed with so many things happening at once. Any level of cooking skill would do great in this class...and probably any class that is taught by David. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This experience was so much fun! My partner and I both love to cook, but have never taken a formal class and had never made Southern food at home. It was great to have David walk us through everything step by step and even teach us some skills we'll be using everyday from here on out! David is so friendly and getting to know him during our lesson was the icing on the already great cake. We're super excited to make these recipes again for all of our friends and family.

Chef David was incredible. Despite a brief snafu of locking myself out of my apartment, David was super patient, understanding and reassuring while we waited on the locksmith. I'm a pretty inexperienced cooker, and David was the perfect chef and teacher for me (and us). He taught us some really useful techniques the I look forward to using in the future and explained every step of the process throughout. Can't recommend Chef David enough for a class for anyone in the Chicago area!

Instead of going out to dinner at a restaurant, we thought it would be a great date idea to have Chef David come into our home and cook a meal. We were blown away by how nice and comforting Chef David made us feel. We were both novices in the kitchen and Chef David turned us into the best cooks on this side of the Mississippi. He was very hands on with his teaching and was able to talk us through the whole process clearly and accurately. His personality makes it very easy and fun to have him in your kitchen for 2.5 hours. I would recommend this experience to anyone. 10/10

Ashley

Working with Chef David was awesome. He has a strong background in cooking classes and it was clear that he knows how to teach! He was super professional and very fun to work with. He taught some very useful techniques that I am definitely going to be incorporating into my cooking and I also learned really interesting facts about ingredients that we were using (I have a whole new perspective on cutting peppers now!). I highly recommend Chef David for anyone in the Chicago area.
