Chef Justin was absolutely amazing. I booked this experience as a birthday gift for my husband, and it exceeded my hopes and expectations by far! The sushi was delicious, Justin’s teaching and demonstrating was smooth and easy to understand, and Chef Justin himself was a wonderful mix of professional, sociable, and friendly. He was very kind and understanding with our baby fussing throughout parts of the class as well. We highly recommend this class!!

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.
