My wife and I took a cooking class with Douglas last night to celebrate our anniversary. We…read moreattended a class that had 6 people; all good friends of ours. Everyone attending had different levels of cooking skills, and all of us walked away with insightful learnings! Douglas taught us everything from essential kitchen tools to own; the importance and techniques of toasting spices; how to stage and time the preparation of an incredible dinner menu; how to prepare and cook restaurant worthy meats, and more! As a group, we were involved in all stages of cooking an incredible meal: pork tenderloin with peppered apples, creamy mashed potatoes, brocolini, green salad, and ginger cake with caramel sauce. With the wine that we all brought, this was an amazing feast! If you are looking to improve your cooking and entertaining skills, one of Douglas's cooking classes is a must attend! In less than 24 hours, I have spoken to numerous friends about this, and everyone wants to check out his classes now. This is a win-win for everyone; the idea of hosting an incredible dinner party is no longer an intimidating thought -- Douglas, you will be seeing us again! Thanks for a great class.

We just enjoyed a wonderful evening with Douglas at his home, learning to cook some delicious food!…read more I was given this cooking class as a birthday gift and really wasn't sure what to expect (I tend to see cooking as a bit of a chore) but the evening was just so easy and fun that we had a great time in this beautiful space! Douglas is a very knowledgeable and laid-back chef who can easily move between instruction, casual conversation, and describing the intricacies of why it's always best to do this or that in the kitchen. Plus the others who cooked/dined with us were a lively bunch we're glad to have met! I would highly recommend working with Douglas in any capacity, maybe even as a birthday gift as was my experience ;-)

This was everything I could have asked for in a cooking class…read more The Mama Thai experience was a birthday present from my family for the four of us to do together. I have a decent amount of Thai cooking experience, while the rest of my family had none. Still, we all learned quite a bit, and had fun doing it! Jirayu has a beautiful home, and we immediately felt welcome and at ease. She's been doing this for more than 20 years. She and her daughter Saorise had stations set up for us, each with their own propane burner, tools, wok, and ingredients. We chose to make green papaya salad, red curry fried rice, and green curry eggplant with bamboo and rice noodles. After settling in, we started on the first of our dishes. We worked at a good pace, and Jirayu kept an eye on how we were doing, providing feedback where necessary. We made and ate each dish one at a time. It is an understatement to say that they turned out absolutely delicious! By the end of the first dish, we knew that we wanted to come back and do a few more menu items. Through each menu item, Jirayu talked about the brands she uses that have a more authentic Thai flavor. We talked about coconut milk, fish sauce, bamboo shoots, and palm sugar to name a few, and surprisingly some of the best brands were not Thai! She has also done her research on more healthy cooking, finding ways to omit MSG and unnecessary additives, and to make recipes more vegetarian-friendly. She herself is a pescatarian like me! One really neat trick that we learned is to use a juicer to make curry paste from scratch! If you've ever tried to make curry paste, it can be a long process with a mortar and pestle. I've take around 45 minutes to do it myself, and it makes for sore arm and hand muscles, for sure. For green curry paste, we spent probably five minutes using the juicer technique, and the results were amazing! We had plenty of extras to take home. Jirayu was also very generous with her time and answered so many of our questions. We even got to play with her dog, Ziggy!

When I heard we were doing another cooking class for a team activity in my mind I wanted to say not…read moreagain. But, Jirayu proved me wrong. Not only was her cooking class engaging, but she was knowledgeable, friendly, well prepared, had an awesome Chef's kitchen, and cleanliness was as important to her as it was to us. We came here for an off-site to do some team building like cooking. This is not my first cooking class, nor will it be my last, but this is definitely the best cooking class I've ever taken. And I've taken them all. I've taken Italian food cooking classes, dessert cooking classes, and your good old-fashioned American Cooking Class, but this one blew me away. I'm not going to lie, we had a busy group that had to take business calls and work inbetween cooking, and Jirayu took it all in stride. She even had a sense of humor saying we were the only group should have ordered three entrees without any dessert or appetizers LOL. Our first dish was spicy crab which was prepared fresh by us, but was chopped up and cleaned by her. Our next dish was the pad thai. Our third dish was chicken Pumpkin Curry. We were broken out in two teams of two, and each team would prepare its own meal. Not to brag or anything but we had the best Pad Thai, even the instructor said that. I also liked how the instructor accommodated a vegetarian in our class, and was able to accommodate people who liked Spicy Thai food on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being wild and 10 being flaming hot. For those who wanted flaming hot our instructor was nice enough to take out some Chili's to make the dish extra extra spicy. She told us she does this as her full-time job, and I support her 100%. She's an awesome cook and a great instructor. Take her class you won't regret it!

I've been wanting to cook Chinese food since my early teens. Knowing this my girlfriend decided to…read moreget me one of the most thoughtful Birthday gifts I have ever recieved. Knowing how picky I am about Won Ton soup she really put some time in researching who she could get to teach me. She contacted lorraine and set up a time and date. Lorraine invited us into her beautiful home and went over what we would be doing that day with our chosen dishes. Her easy going way of explaining the steps of the recipes made us feel confident and relaxed. The Wor Won Ton soup and Long Life noodles are to die for. Thank you Jaelee and Lorraine for the best Birthday gift ever. I've already made the Long Life noodles and they came out perfect. I'm working on the Wor Won ton soup as we speak and it's looking good. I really recomend Lorraine's class to anybody looking to make that dish on their bucket list.

This is a long review, but I mean every word and Lorraine Witte deserves a great review!…read moreI wanted to get my boyfriend Eric a memorable birthday gift, and one he could continue to enjoy, so I did some research & chose to arrange lessons with Lorraine Witte. I wanted us to be able to learn how to make Wor Won Ton Soup, one of his favorite dishes. He also wanted to learn how to make Long Life Noodles. I reached out to Lorraine through e-mail, she replied very quickly, and we corresponded several times before the day of the lesson. She asked what dishes (we) wanted to make, we agreed on the soup, noodles & the cost of the lesson. She did all of the shopping, we just had to show up & were taught how to do everything, every step of the way. She was so nice, sweet, funny and such a great teacher. She invited us into her home for the lesson. We had an unforgettable experience, taught us so much and made it fun! She taught us how to be more confident when cooking and how not to be intimidated. It was worth every penny and delicious!! We were so excited learning from her, and she motivated us to continue cooking after the lesson. We have made the Long Life Noodles & War Won Ton Soup since then, & Eric has gotten great at making won tons with all kinds of filling! Taking her cooking class is worth it and worth every penny!

The food was very homey, and I mean it in a good way. Prepping/cooking runs for ~2 hours and we ate for the 3rd hour. Food was delicious and healthy. Also prices are half what Le Cordon Bleu charges and she graduated from there. So it's like taking a Le Cordon Bleu, but paying half the amount. When it comes to food, I've been told that I have high standards and I say it's good. I'm going to see if I can attend her Brazilian and French classes. Highly recommend!

I wanted to fill my days with some fun activities during the days my husband was away at the conference. I found Ayako's cooking class and knew it would be something fun and different from anything I have back home. Ayako was incredibly nice and inviting! She offered me slippers, an apron, and printed copies of the recipes we prepared. We cooked together and chatted along the way about different things to do in the city and food, of course. I learned some simple techniques for cutting vegetables I hadn't known before and I cook quite frequently at home. The food, conversation, and atmosphere could be beat! I would love to attend another one of Ayako's classes when I return to the city.
