I am not a vegan and I had never in my life enjoyed a meal with tofu. So, when I purchased an in-home cooking lesson with Chef Jay as a birthday present for my vegan sister, I had low expectations.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
Chef Jay is very warm and communicative and was easy to work with when considering menu options and making final recipe decisions for our lesson. Everything can be tailored to your interests, tastes, and the degree of challenge you're looking to tackle. We decided on tofu parmesan, homemade pasta, and a summer tomato sauce. The food was absolutely delicious--I ate every bite! His teaching style is approachable and inclusive. The conversation was great, as well, making for an all-around wonderful evening.
Even as a non-vegan, I would highly recommend booking Chef Jay for a unique date night, a team-building exercise, as a gift, or as a fun activity for the entire family. I joked that I never have to think again about what to get my vegan sister for her birthday, and I don't think she'd mind it one bit if this is what we did every year.
10/10 phenomenal experience! read more
