Had a lovely experience. The teacher is really fun and makes sure you are enjoying yourself as well.
My first-ever cooking class did not disappoint. Chef Joe is a talented chef and a dedicated educator. The in-class experience is fun and fast-moving with Chef Joe supplying everything you need, including the jokes. He has a teacher’s knack for making the complex seem simple and making concepts stick. Two months later, I still cut onions and julienne carrots the way Chef Joe taught me: finely and carefully!
Oh my gosh, what a great way to spend an evening. We took the fish cookery class so we used three types of fish to poach, pan fry and bake using parchment paper. With each one, we prepared a different sauce or side using fresh herbs, grilled peppers and veggies. Each one came out perfectly and I feel ready to try them at home. Chef Joe is wonderful and charming, and fun was had by all. He's running a professional kitchen, and you're about to eat the food you have prepared, so you must be on your toes and not screw around! There's plenty of fun to be had, but at crunch time, you'll want to be mindful that there is a seriousness to cooking. I highly recommend Chef Joe's school and look forward to taking several more!
Chef Joe has so much knowledge to share and makes classes fun for all in the process! I’ve taken a few baking classes and a pasta class so far, and they’re not too crowded, and you get to meet new people as everyone works together. Always plenty to eat and some leftovers too. If he does online classes I’ll definitely be signing up with my friends and family!
Great classes with a fun and humors chef Joe!
