The Maker's Kitchen - Porchetta fresh out of the oven

Okay, so, I am not a great cook and never mastered basic cooking techniques. I love food, but can…read moreeasily become frustrated if something I cook just doesn't turn out right. My boyfriend and I wanted to try a cooking class for our anniversary, but the costs for going to a public cooking class are often very high. My boyfriend stumbled upon Jesse's website and it seemed really cool (and has pretty pictures), so he reached out. Jesse responds really quickly and we were lucky to secure a time slot for the weekend. Jesse offered to have a quick chat with us over the phone so he could come up with a customized menu for us and set expectations. For example, I don't eat seafood, so Jesse took that into account and made sure there wasn't a shrimp dish. Eventually, we landed on a Mexican taco menu (which was appropriate since Jesse is a master of tacos) because we wanted a menu that we could then easily take and make all the recipes ourselves. Jesse arrived promptly on time and set up his many kitchen tools and supplies in our kitchen. It's great that he can come to you! He was able to adapt easily to our kitchen set-up and get started. He started off with making us a salsa and guacamole so we could nibble as he gave us a ton of fun facts about cooking / food and prepped the other courses. He prints out his recipes so you can take notes as he goes along. The whole thing is very conversational, you never feel like he's talking AT you, but with you. You can ask him questions at any time. I never felt overwhelmed or felt like anything he was making or explaining was too difficult for me. In addition, I learned how to properly cut an onion and how to press tortillas. He had asked us beforehand if we wanted to be more hands-on, so he showed us how to cut the onion or press the tortillas and then we went ahead and helped with the prep. Not only was Jesse super knowledgeable and patient, the food he made was delicious. He even cleans up after cooking, which is a mega bonus! We had enough leftovers for another meal the next day. After taking his private cooking class, we both feel empowered and enthusiastic to learn and cook more. :) I definitely would work with The Maker's Kitchen again. His prices are extremely reasonable for the value you get, you get a very personalized experience (you're not lost in a class of 30), and he's a cool dude. You will learn a lot. You can tell that food is definitely his passion and that he's just trying to do what he loves to do (and educating others so that they hopefully can feel the same!). It's awesome! Thanks Jesse!

My parents got this for us as an anniversary gift. Wasn't sure what to expect but it exceeded all…read moreour expectations. Jesse was amazing and we can't wait to do this again with our friends. You definitely won't be disappointed with this experience. The food was also equally amazing to the experience.

Chef Ivan and his team offer a truly wonderful cooking experience that I cannot recommend enough!!…read more I booked the Pasta Workshop 101 class for my boyfriend's birthday on a Saturday evening. They follow COVID protocol so our class had a maximum of 8 people with everyone wearing masks; they had hand sanitizer for every couple and wipes for our phones. You can BYOB but they offer complimentary bottles of wine as well. The class itself was excellent! There was a nice balance of cooking and relaxing (aka sitting and sipping your wine); while you do make the dough and prep the sauces, the chefs clean up in between, cook everything at the end, and plate it for you so you don't have to worry about getting tired throughout the class. You're also able to take lots of pictures so make sure to do so! We were taught how to make 3 different types of pasta and 3 different sauces: fettuccine bolognese, spaghetti pesto allá gevonese, and cavatelli with boscaiola sauce. All of these were deeelicious but the pesto was, by far, the BEST one. We also made coffee gelato which was super creamy and delightful. Honestly, we had the best experience. I would definitely do this again and maybe try out their other workshops!

Wow, what a fantastic experience! I was so surprised at how much fun we had making pasta and…read moremeeting everyone. The events kick off in the dining room, which can comfortably seat about 15 people. You get to introduce yourself to everyone, and it's amazing to see how diverse the group is--locals and visitors alike. The chef Ivan and his team are fantastic, super friendly, and makes you feel right at home in the kitchen. They walk you through making the pasta step by step, and we whip up three different kinds. Once we're done, you're back in the dining room to taste your creations, and if you're up for it, there's wine to go along with it. There's plenty of food, so don't forget to grab a box to take home for a snack later. I really think you should give this experience a shot!
