We booked Chef Brandi’s dumpling making class for a birthday and had an amazing time! The recipe was easy to replicate at home and delicious. Chef Brandi was very helpful and provided great instructions. We had such a good time and will be returning for Chef Brandi’s sushi making class.

I would have given the chef 5 stars if she had put out all the materials before we arrived

Chef Jesse was fantastic - very knowledgeable but also incredibly good at explaining in easy to understand terms. We made incredibly delicious food with ease and should be able to do it at home now, too! Would definitely recommend Chef Jesse and we are looking into future classes with him for another day.
