Chef Kenneth was amazing! He arrived right on time, taught us so much, and was so incredibly personable. It felt like we were cooking and being taught by a friend. The dishes we made were AMAZING. He showed us that cooking doesn't have to be needlessly complicated to be delicious.
He was beyond courteous and great to speak with. I learned a lot of tricks from him that I will be implementing from now on with cooking.
I would definitely hire him again!

Five stars aren’t enough for the food and the thoughtful presence of Chef Kenneth in our kitchen. Every dish was better than the last, without being baroque or complicated, just fresh whole ingredients that were superbly prepared. We are super grateful and would recommend him to anyone.

Chef Kenneth was incredible! Everyone at the dinner raved about every single course, and in particular the swordfish and beef tartare. And Kenneth maintained professionalism and composure at all times, even amongst a rampaging two year old and his exacting grandmother. I recommend Chef Kenneth highly!

This was really an amazing class! Chef Kenneth has very relaxed good energy, and was an excellent teacher. We took turns watching him explain and prepare certain parts of the meal, and then we prepped every part we wanted to try our hand at (which were most parts). The food was incredible when it all came out and we even had leftovers we enjoyed happily the next day. Thanks Chef Kenneth!
