Team Building Cooking Classes in Tampa

Maurice Evans and I worked together at Whiskey Cake for a little over a year. We both traveled to Houston to train for 3 months and opened and ran a restaurant together following that training. It was an amazing experience and I owe much of its success to him. Maurice is a chef, Hard working, knowledgeable, and passionate about his kitchen. He is a good coach with his people and very compassionate in how he handles their progress and employment. He has a high level of integrity and approaches difficult situations with good moral character and includes his leadership in those tough decisions. Maurice likes a clean kitchen and is very good at managing productivity throughout the day making sure all tasks are completed and gaps are filled. Most importantly his is coachable, and responds very well to feedback, wanting only the best from himself and for his team. Beyond his outstanding work persona, Maurice is a good human. He is kind, laughs a lot, loves his family, and thinks the best of people. He is committed to being a fair and present father, and works just as hard at being a good husband. He loves to learn and takes advantage of his free time by spending it with friends and family. I have thee utmost admiration for him and his talents and only wish an opportunity presents itself down the road where we can work together again.

We can't say enough about Maurice and not just his cooking skills but also his interpersonal skills. My husband, Javier, and I had the great pleasure of meeting Maurice when he was the executive chef at Whiskey Cake Tampa, and they held a series of whiskey dinners. The menus and pairings Maurice put together were of a quality that far exceeded expectations—but it was his energy and passion for the food that really made those dinners memorable. We always looked forward to seeing him and what he’d cook up next. For our 19th anniversary, my husband surprised me with a private dinner cooked by none other than Maurice. Maurice customized the menu especially for us, including a delicious bolognese, which is one of my favorites! My husband loves to cook, so he really appreciated the collaboration with Maurice and the cooking tips and tricks he shared along the way. We really miss those Tasting Tuesdays with Maurice but know that many good things lie ahead of him!

I could not more highly recommend Chef Maurice as a chef. His attention to detail, his method of finding systems for everything, and his dedication to the task are unmatched. his communication skills made working with Chef Maurice extremely easy. If you are looking to work with a chef who is full of drive, professional, and extremely reliable Chef Maurice is your Chef.

She always uses high quality and extremely fresh ingredients. She is truly a skilled professional when it comes to anything sushi related and it shows in the presentation and taste of everything she makes. I would highly recommend her for anything sushi related!

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Chef Nadina. She is knowledgeable, professional and a wonderful person. The food we prepared was DELICIOUS!!! Morgan & Veronica

Chef Vivian brought so much freshness in her dishes. She used same day vegetables and made everything from scratch. I had so much fun learning and I hope to do it again shortly.

Theresa was great. We had a fun time and good food. We really liked hands on parts. The facility was perfect for this event.
