Chef Mike was AWESOME! He prepared a delicious meal for our bachelorette party, and we all loved him. He was very knowledgeable and taught us some interesting tidbits about the ingredients he used. Mike was funny, entertaining, and a good hang. 10/10 would recommend you to hire Mike for an educational and enjoyable cooking class experience!

Chef Mike was amazing! He taught us how to create plant based meals. I would recommend his class to all of my friends.
Chef Mike has experience concocting a wide range of ethnic cuisines, including Thai, Indian and Ethiopian options. For the past five years, he has led a variety of cooking workshops, but his specialty lies in crafting ethnic plant-based dishes. Chef Mike has worked in corporate test kitchens for Walmart and Campbells, and he even worked as an on-call assistant to the chef of the Canadian Prime Minister. He is eager to impart his worldly knowledge unto aspiring chefs.
