Our personal cooking class with Chef Justin was perfect. He provided all fresh seafood, provided detailed instructions, and even had some humor/jokes during the class. My husband and I had a wonderful time and would recommend Chef Justin to anyone.

Chef Justin was wonderful! He was extremely organized when he arrived to our home, and had all the fresh ingredients ready to go. He taught us unique prep techniques (how to cut fish/veggies in different ways), and answered all of our questions along the way. We would definitely recommend Chef Justin to those wanting to learn about sushi and knife techniques! Thank you Justin for a great experience.
