I found Chef Robo (Rob) after searching online for in-home cooking lessons in the New York area. Rob got back to me quickly and we scheduled a class for the following weekend.
On the day of the class, he met my husband and I at our house, where the three of us sat down and settled on a menu. Rob gave great guidance and plenty of options. We then went shopping together for ingredients at a local supermarket, where Rob gave advice on how to select for best quality. Once back home, Rob started with the basics we needed including knife skills and how best to prep one's work space. We both found Rob extremely easy to learn from and very patient with novices. He taught extremely useful tips and shortcuts throughout. By the end of four hours total, we had learned how to make an excellent holiday dinner including two appetizers, two mains, and two sides. We got so much out of the class, we took a second with Rob soon after!
A week or so after the classes, when my husband and I were preparing the meal for our party, Rob answered several follow-up questions we texted to him. Then, Rob followed up with us to ask how the meal turned out. The food was a huge hit, everything from the apps through to the main meal really impressed our guests! Rob greatly raised our cooking abilities and confidence, and I highly recommend his classes.

Amazing! Chef Rob and his wife LJ were just amazing. We surprised my wife with an anniversary dinner and everything was perfect. The food Chef Rob prepared was something you would get in an upscale restaurant. Everything was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I am a picky eater and I ate everything! LJ even brought crayons for our son to play with and watched our kids while we ate. The service was phenomenal. They were both very personable and great conversation during dinner as well.
If you are looking for a top quality Chef, Rob is your man. I woukd highly recommend him for anything from a quiet dinner like ours or a bigger party. Oh yeah, get the tres leeches empenadas as well!
