I've attended chef's classes in Italy, Napa and Aspen and I've always learned a lot that made me a better home cook. Chef Steven delivered a cooking class and demonstration + dinner that was well thought out, extremely informative, well organized and on par with those elite cooking classes (at a fraction of the price and in a homey atmosphere, which was amazing). I would highly recommend it if you'd like to elevate your grilling game (not the same as BBQ turns out!) and want to have a delicious experience!

Fun, educational, and delicious!

My wife and I took the grilling class with six other people. Chef Steven is an excellent teacher, talented chef, and warm host. We were surprised by how much we learned and how much we enjoyed the experience. It was as much of a classroom as a friendly supper club. We will be taking more classes!

A masterclass and a very delicious experience!

A Great Experience

Rodney_G, Apr 2025

Chef Steven puts on a master class on the art of Grilling (not to be confused with BBQ) starting with the basics of what grilling is, and isn’t, and the science behind the different techniques. From start to finish this was a wonderful experience with excellent food, and good conversation. Chef Steven has a really varied background and incorporates teaching methods with cooking. 🧑‍🍳 Highly recommend this experience

Great learning and food, and fun too!

Awesome class!

Sydney_S, Jul 2024

Chef Steven was knowledgeable and so fun to learn from. During the class we learned about types of heat, how to marinate, bring and dry rub, and how long/what temperature to cook meats. The class was very informative. Highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic! Exceeded expectations!

What a fabulous evening learning about grilling with Chef Steven! He walked us through each protein entree with hands on lessons, and then we got to eat as much of the results as we wanted. Everything we had was the best I have ever tasted. Cannot recommend this enough!

Great Chef, Great Tips & Hints, Great Time!

Shianne_S, Mar 2024

I had a great time and the chef provided a lot of tips and hints that will enhance the flavor and the techniques I will be using for grilling food. I look forward to utilizing the tips and hints this summer.

Tasty and wonderful!

Chef Steven was wonderful! He was incredibly thoughtful navigating my food allergies, and taught us so much about grilling various meats and fish.

Best Grilling Experience!

Leslie_W, Mar 2024
