  • 5/5 from Catherine Luce, attended Jun 2026: Excellent hands on cooking class..Besides great recipes and delicous food we learned some basic knife techniques and many skills in preparing the ingredients. Sone of the science on braising and frying chicken wings so they do not splatter and how to coat with sauce and cold butter after frying. How to roll egg rolls and more

Growing up in a family full of chefs and caterers in New Jersey, Mat Wertlieb has felt at home in a kitchen since childhood. He first fell in love with the unique culinary scene of the Bay Area while working an externship at One Market Restaurant in 2000. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, he spent a year and a half in Boston’s busiest restaurant, Grill 23, before the pull of Northern California’s food culture drew him back. He has worked for the past decade at some of the most successful restaurants in San Francisco and Berkeley, including Lark Creek Inn, Farallon, Lalimes, and Gather. Trips to Italy and Israel furthered his exposure and passion for the various cuisines of the world. Chef Mat now works part-time at Gather restaurant when he is not teaching classes with the Kitchen on Fire team.
