Tamela

Book Chef Jerry!!!!!!! Had an amazing experience! Don't let him leave your house without making "the soup"! He is a true gem and so glad he was our chef.

Hannah

We had a great time with Chef Jerry! Our kitchen set up was small and poorly stocked but Jerry came super prepared and was unphased navigating the tiny space. He is an experienced chef and incredibly knowledgeable about core cooking techniques. He explains each step clearly as you go making it easy and educational. And obviously the food is incredible too. His recipes use simple ingredients but the flavors are unreal. I highly recommend booking a class with Jerry. I can’t wait to recreate what we learned for friends!
