Chef Ridic held an amazing cooking class. He allowed us to learn and was willing to jump in when needed. He also taught us a lot about food and everything tasted great! I like that we were able to communicate before the class through Cozymeal. A lovely experience (:

Chef Ridic was fantastic! We learned about his interesting background as a chef and he taught us so many great techniques for building flavor and cooking some amazing Thai food. All three courses were exceptional! We will definitely be using them a lot in the future, especially the red curry pumpkin hummus recipe. Would highly recommend Chef Ridic and we would love to do another cooking experience with him again.

Thanks to Chef Ridic we spent a tremendously enjoyable evening with lots of free-flowing conversation and delicious, expertly prepared food. We think Chef Ridic is an excellent chef. We were grateful for the tips and tricks he shared with us while he was preparing the delicious 5-course meal for us. Chef Ridic is very personable, inspiring, friendly, and well prepared and organized. Each plate he served us was artfully arranged and we did not feel rushed. We truly appreciated the good time he afforded us at our home and highly recommend him.

Chef Ridic was a blast to have at our house. I bought the experience for my boyfriend for Christmas and we invited a couple of friends and all of us just had the time of our lives. It was fun learning & doing & getting to know each other over great food & wine. I highly recommend this experience.
