Our cooking experience with Chef Melissa was so much fun and informative! She was an excellent host and we felt very comfortable with her teaching style, learning many things from knife skills to the importance of tasting individual ingredients. Would definitely recommend!

Chef Melissa was super friendly and made our time there so enjoyable. The food was delicious as well, and chef Melissa made it easily understandable even for a beginner (not boring even for more experienced cooks either)!

Had a wonderful time at our sushi making class! Chef Melissa made it feel less daunting and incredibly enjoyable. We made all different forms of sushi, got tips for where to buy her recommended ingredients and items, and so forth. We had previously struggled to roll maki at home and get the consistency/balance right, and Chef Melissa walked us through all the various things to consider. Now we know how to do better at home! There was one other couple with us, and Chef Melissa made it a really lovely evening by focusing on this moment together, reflecting on the evening, and remembering to enjoy the present. This was beyond expectations! Most culinary classes/demonstrations are pretty to-the-point / have a lot of structure and lack character, which is fine. But now taking a class with Chef Melissa...I feel like she really set the new standard in classes! Thank you for a wonderful experience, highly recommend!
