• 5/5 from Serena Ocampo, attended Sep 2026: This was my first time taking any form of cooking class and it was very fun and informative. Chef Olive and Chef Kevin made it very easy to learn new skills and even helped me hands on. The soup we made with all the cut vegetables was delicious too. I’m definitely going to have to come back and take another class with Kitchen on Fire.

• 5/5 from Lynn Yacone Martin, attended Apr 2026: Olive is a superb instructor. He gives innumerable pearls of culinary wisdom throughout the Knife Skills class, and makes it very fun and engaging. He is warm and welcoming, making the class comfortable for novices as well as more seasoned chefs. He goes around the room and gives individual instruction to each student. He doesn't only teaches knife skills. He weaves in nutrition, how to cut and cook different vegetables, the importance of fats in cooking, etc. The class is thoroughly enjoyable and very informative. I look forward to taking more classes at Kitchen on Fire!
