We just took a cooking class with Chef Dean, and it was fantastic! We made some fried rice, pork potstickers/shumais, fried pork spring rolls and a delicious dessert. Chef Dean was very personable, patient, engaging, and gave clear instructions. The hands-on experience was fun, and the dishes turned out absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the class to anyone looking to try something new!

Chef Dean gave us such an incredible experience! We made an amazing Japanese street food feast, including handmade gyoza from scratch (he even taught us how to properly fold the dumplings), gyudon, yakisoba, sushi rolls, green tea, and the most delicious matcha cake. He was fun, personable, and an excellent teacher. He shared so many helpful tips and techniques that made everything feel approachable, whether you're a beginner or love to cook. The class was hands-on, relaxed, and full of great conversation. The food was absolutely delicious, and there was so much of it—we left completely full! I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a memorable date night, family activity, or just a unique experience. Thank you, Chef Dean, for such a wonderful evening!
