Chef Janet was terrific. We did a dumpling making class as a family bonding experience. We had 5 kids ages 17, 18, 18, 20, 22 and four parents and we all had a great time. Chef Janet brings everything and we all worked around the island in our kitchen. We made 2 types of dumplings and a sesame seed / red bean paste dessert. So delicious and fun. You should arrange a class with Chef Janet!!!

Janet was amazing and super engaging. She is a great conversationalist. I’m not a huge talker, but she was keeping the conversation going by with the other people in my group.

We had an absolutely amazing time making sushi with Chef Janet! She was so friendly and helpful. It was the perfect date night, we both said it was one of the best dates we’ve had!
