My boyfriend and I had an incredible experience with Chef Jordan’s cooking class! From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us into his home and made us feel so comfortable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the class itself was both fun and educational. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and we were thrilled to bring home extras to enjoy later. We can’t wait to incorporate everything we learned into our future meals. This was such a special and memorable gift—highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique culinary experience!

Chef Jordan is very personable and easy-going. The flavors were good. We had him travel to our home for a family event. Ingredients were simple but good. Don't expect to learn new ways of cooking with shiitake, maitake, Trumpet or any other type of mushroom other than cremini and portobello. While very basic, the flavors were good and the average person will be able to replicate rather easily later. We'd likely have him back for a catering event.
