Josh was a delight to meet! We loved this experience and had a lot of fun learning cooking tips, new recipes, and about the food scene in Colorado in general. He was very informative and was able to answer any cooking question we had. Highly recommend!

Our Savory Jaliscan Cuisine private chef experience with Chef Joshua was incredible. There were six of us and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Not only that the food off-the-charts good, our conversations with Joshua was so much fun. We look forward to more experiences with Joshua.

There was a mixup with scheduling. My daughter set up a lesson for 1/5/24 and gave it to me for Christmas. When I tried to redeem the gift card, I couldn’t find the scheduled lesson. I did online chat and explained I was to have chef Elias on 1/5 at 6pm. They sent me a link and I confirmed appointment but I didn’t notice that they changed the date. He showed up on 12/29 when I was out of town. My wife explained that it was supposed to be 1/5 and he said no problem, I will return next week. Except he did not show. My daughter paid $200 for nothing. I have to pay again to get lesson. I am very disappointed and would never recommend this service to anyone!!!
