Not a traditional cooking class but of a community meal event. Fun times none the less. Chef Washington was a cool dude.

Chef Washington and Chef Jane created an absolutely amazing Italian cooking class experience. Everything was perfectly organized and ready to go when we arrived, so we were able to jump right in and start cooking without any delay. The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and fun—it truly felt like cooking with family. Both chefs were knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the food they were teaching us to make. They shared great tips about the ingredients and techniques, which made the whole experience both educational and enjoyable. The class flowed really well, the company was great, and the environment made it easy to have fun while learning something new. Most importantly, the food turned out absolutely delicious! It was incredibly satisfying to cook such authentic dishes and then enjoy them together at the end. I would definitely book another class with Chef Washington and Chef Jane and highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on cooking class. It was a fantastic time from start to finish. 🍝👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

We had a great time with this group, especially finding out that both of our partners were Filipina. The food was really great and I had a great time getting to know the people at my table as well as cooking and learning how to make different recipes.
