We had such a great time learning with Chef Eric! He has a great and patient way of making the skills easy to understand and fun to learn. It was also really nice that the meal itself was approachable for those of us who aren't so stong in the kitchen. And, of course, it doesn't hurt that the food was delicious!

Chef Eric very easy to work with, very fun, very experienced, shows skill and tips on doing things correctly during the food prep. Very patient and answers all questions. He can cook using what ever is on hand doesn’t need specialized gadgets. A true chef all the way. Appreciates flavor and texture and simple fresh ingredients. Teaches you to use your senses when cooking. Will be going back for sure. Use Chef Eric. He’s the real deal.
