From start to finish, the meal was absolutely outstanding, a true testament to the chef's skill and passion. It's clear that Chef Ricardo is not only top-tier but also a professional who prepares food with immense skill and love. This was evident in every single dish we tried.

Chef Ricardo was very nice to work with. He gave us his total attention as he prepared the meal with our help. We learned some knife cutting skills in addition to preparing the meal. The portions were huge and we had yummy leftovers!

The arrangement with Chef was a gift for our dear friends. We did not attend as we wanted it to be an exciting personal cooking class experience and an intimate dinner for them. Based on the extraordinary feedback they shared with us the entire program was as wonderful as we had hoped. The Chef was fully prepared, guided them and served them. The meal was, their term, unbelievable and delicious. We know they are totally sincere as they sent us photos and videos. It was an event they will long remember.
