I took my partner here as a date night and we loved it. I learned a lot of cooking techniques that I didn’t know before attending this class. I left inspired to start making sushi at home. We had a lot of fun!

This was such a good time! Chef Jordan was knowledgeable, patient, and really good at breaking the ice with the group to foster a more relaxed feel. He made this experience so fun with little stories, hands on experience, and even a competition at the end. We ended up with so much sushi to share between us and it was actually really tasty! You will learn the proper way to cut meat and vegetables, how to make sauces, rice, and tempura batter, and different ways to roll the sushi. I cannot recommend this class or Chef Jordan enough!

Chef Jordan was wonderful! I booked the sushi making class for 4 kids (ages 9-12). Chef Jordan was a natural with them. The kids were fully engaged for the entire class and Chef Jordan explained every step very clearly and was very patient with them. He encouraged them to explore, taught them knife safety and was there to help them whenever they needed. I highly recommend this class. Thank you Chef Jordan!

Jordan was very talented and professional, but also so fun! He was a patient teacher that explained things very well. We never felt rushed along or hurried, as we were just there to learn and enjoy. I would highly recommend him - for any class he offers! Jordan is warm, funny, kind, and knows how to make his guests at ease and feel comfortable to try new things, even though we may not be very good at it! His communication upon requesting a booking was so fast and informative about what to expect. Thank you!

Our party of 6 had a great time learning how to make pasta from scratch. We were already good, long-time friends, but cooking together and eating what we cooked added something new and magical to our bond. Having Jordan as a chef was a blessing. He came well-prepared, brought all ingredients and cooking utensils. He walked us through the prep steps showing us and letting us try his techniques. The food at end was super delicious!

Chef Jordan gave us one of our best and most memorable experiences of the year. He is incredibly thoughtful, professional, and fun - and beyond that he is truly an exceptional talent. We learned how to make a couple of Spanish appetizers as well as the best paella we've ever had. Five star experience - can't wait to work with Chef Jordan again!

Chef Jordan did a fantastic job working with my two teenagers and their friend to cook a delicious meal. All three are already good cooks and they enjoyed learning new techniques and having fun in the kitchen with Chef Jordan. Lucky for me they saved some of the dishes for me to taste. All three said they'd love to do the experience again.

For Chef Jordan, cooking is truly an art form. He learned how to combine various flavors and aromas in a captivating way from several professional experiences, including at Eleven Madison Park, a three-star Michelin restaurant in New York, and experiencing the Spanish culture that helped him develop his own style of food. Chef Jordan, who has worked as a chef for many years, plans to spend the rest of his life learning new techniques and cooking styles.
