WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Seattle
01/07/2025
We had a grand time learning how to make Paella, Albondigas, Egg Tortilla and Delicious Flan! Chef Larson Washington gave us clear directions and made us feel very welcome and adventurous in his kitchen. He's an excellent teacher and knows how to ask great questions to keep the conversation going.
The food was delightful, though still my favorite was the flan. We hope to use his recipes to entertain our friends. I had never made meatballs, so that I learned that, and also liked his style of cleaning up as you go. I highly recommend his classes!

5 stars! What a fun evening! We learned so much from Chef Dean. Everything was perfectly organized and ready for us to jump right in and get hands on and learn so many tips and tricks on numerous dishes on his Asian Food Spectacle menu. Plus, the meal was so delicious and we took home tons of leftovers. We recommend this to anyone for a fun date night. We definitely feel like we now know how to prepare these delicious dishes at home. Thanks, Chef Dean!
