Great class and instructor
03/09/2025
Received this experience as a gift, didn’t know what to expect but had such a good time. It’s like cooking with family. Chef gave directions as we worked through preparation and then sat together to eat. This was in his home. So welcoming and comfortable. You will see us again.

My wife and I had a great time. We learned a few new tricks, had a great meal and face to face conversation with complete strangers. I was worried at first thinking that entering someone's house for a cooking class would be awkward. But it felt very relaxed and welcoming in Chef Washington's home. We will definitely be doing this again.
11/19/2024
Don't hesitate to book an experience with Chef Washington. We did his Rush of Spanish Flavors class and it was incredibly fun, engaging and also tasty. He ensured everyone was involved, taught us lessons along the way and kept enquiring on our experience as the night went along to ensure we were all having a good time. 10/10 I will book again.
