Chef Greg is a delight to work with. He is personable, funny and knowledgeable in his field which made a comfortable setting. I purchased the four week package and he packed a lot in those four weeks and spent significant time in each class. I always looked forward to my next class with him as he made it so much fun! I learned a lot and gained confidence in my cooking which was one of my goals. I highly recommend him.

Chef Greg was INCREDIBLE! I planned his service as a surprise for my husband... and Chef Greg helped expand my husband’s horizons on the bbq. It was a great experience for my husband and our family. Fun, informative, and just an overall awesome time. We will definitely be using Chef Greg again for get togethers and instruction based classes. 10/10!!!

Chef Greg is an absolute blast to work with. My wife and I hired him for a wood fire pizza oven class at our house. To start he was extremely responsive to every email and text. He definitely is one of the best teachers I have ever met his personality shines. His patience, attention to detail, and overall kindness are second to none. We definitely will be using his services again and keep coming back to him. Greg we can't thank you enough you made an amazing impression on us.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I follow an hourly rate of $40-$60 depending on drive time and availability. The more classes you book the more affordable it gets. discounts and special rates apply for non-profit, community services, and first responders.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
well I have a couple of questionnaires they fill out so I can get some more information about them. Likes, dislikes, allergies, dietary habits and things of that nature. they we proceed and build a learning plan.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always enjoyed training staff as much as cooking. I saw a need for home cooks to get the skills to cook on their own rather than copy off a cook book. most people never feel comfort and calm in the kitchen. that too is teachable.
