Chef Jesse was incredible , my friend and I attended today we made California street tacos and they were amazinggggg ! The class was in an intimate setting there was only 4 of us but it was a very comfortable environment. Chef Jessie was very interactive with us and answered all questions . I cannot wait to attend another class .

Chef Jesse was very personable and kept the energy of the class upbeat. We learned some good general kitchen skills along with the differences in ingredients and how different kinds of salts and oils factor into preparation and finishing. Making the home made mozzarella was pretty straightforward and something we could definitely do at home now that we know what should be looking for at each step of the process. Will definitely check his other classes out!

I had such a great experience with this cooking class. It was so enjoyable that I actually came back a second time and booked this class on the spot after my first one. The instructor is incredibly personable, very professional, and keeps the entire class engaged from start to finish. They explain everything clearly, make the experience interactive, and create a really welcoming environment for everyone participating. You can tell they truly enjoy teaching and sharing their knowledge, which makes the class even more fun. I learned a lot while also having a great time. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun and engaging cooking experience, and I would definitely attend again.

This class was an absolute blast! The pasta‑making portion was incredibly easy to follow, and Chef Jesse explained everything so clearly that we actually learned few things about how and why, not just followed steps. He made the whole experience even more fun, and we left feeling confident and excited to make fresh pasta at home. Truly such a great class! I recommend him 1000%, no notes!

My husband and I signed up for this class as a Christmas gift for one another. Neither one of us had ever attended a cooking class so we weren't entirely sure what to expect. This particular class was focused primarily on the crimping of the dumpling wrappers and the cooking of the dumplings. We did get to observe Chef Jesse preparing the filling. We really appreciated the history of dumplings and the cooking tips Chef Jesse provided (the reason we should keep the meat cold and use cold mixing bowls as well as his advice on the best oil and salt to use in cooking). He also demonstrated some knife skills and kitchen tools that we did not get to use, but it was still appreciated. Overall, we are glad we would recommend Chef Jesse and his dumpling making class.

Erin

17 Jan 2025

This class was so fun and the dumplings were delish! Chef Jesse was a great teacher regarding “the art of crimping” and shared some fun facts/history around salt and oil that I never knew before! We will definitely be taking more of Chef Jesse’s classes again!
