  • 5/5 from Mark Moreno, attended Oct 2026: Chef Vic is really passionate about this dish. Really fun class to try! The process takes a lot of work, but it’s well worth it! He’s there to help you and takes the time to show and explain the process.
  • 5/5 from Arpi Kurdoghlian, attended Oct 2026: My daughter and I did the paella class. We loved it. Chef Vic was awesome and very energetic, passionate to teach. He was very detail oriented, step by step showed us everything and he was always checking on us while we were cooking. I will highly recommend to take classes with him. I will definitely take other cooking classes with him. Our paella tasted yummy. Thank you Chef.
  • 5/5 from Fred Miller, attended Sep 2026: Chef Vic, what can you say about Vic to sum this experience up, the anticipation leading up to this class and then it starts... Explanation of ingredients and procedures and then preparation. The constant interactions Chef Vic gives to insure the understanding and importance of what not to do, this will be on my to do list until I complete my Paella DIY meal. We had a blast, will be attending a sushi class ASAP. Thank you, Fred Miller
  • 5/5 from Paul Jerome, attended Jun 2026: This was really a great experience! Our chef/instructor was a pro and knew his stuff! He was very engaging and made us all feel comfortable while guiding us, step by step, through the process of creating this amazing tasting paella! I love to cook, but I think anyone who enjoys new experiences will love this class! I would definitely take another class there!
  • 5/5 from Jay Gravatt, attended Apr 2025: Fun and informative class! Will book again.
  • 5/5 from Liana Turner, attended Jan 2025: Teacher was very clear and thorough. Wanted to give as much information as he could and I appreciated it. There were different levels of cooking knowledge amongst the crowd but he made it feel like we were all on the same page.

  • 5/5 from Jordan Wilson, attended May 2024: If you were on the fence about the deliciousness of paella well then let me tell you how chef vic will change ya life!!!! Absolutely amazing class, chef vic is such a kind caring man who wanted to make sure every experience of everyone there was sublime. He even adjusted for my fiancĂ© who is pescatarian. Amazing experience cant wait to sign up for his dumpling class!
  • 5/5 from Giancarlo Bruni, attended Jan 2024: We had an absolutely amazing class creating Paella! This was hands on and packed with information and tips on making this at home. Especially important was where to get ingredients and received the recipe after the course! What was the teacher like? Chef Vic was Fantastic! He's an incredibly experienced chef as well as being a kind and clear instructor. How was the venue (if applicable)? The venue was both spacious and intimate, with all the supplies and amenities we needed to make great food. If materials were provided, did you like them? All of the ingredients were prepped and portioned for us, requiring minimal work other than cutting up some things so we knew what size to aim for on our own. Was the experience good value for money? Absolutely. What did you like most? I enjoyed getting to cook with Chef Vic the most, as he made the experience truly memorable and entertaining. We have the before photos, but the food smelled so good we forgot to take the completed product until after we'd devoured most of it, so refer to the picture for the class because that's what ours looked like with a few less shrimp and no

  • 5/5 from Lauren, attended Jan 2024: The atmosphere was very fun and relaxed. The chef was clearly knowledgeable and made sure to interact with and help everyone. The food came out delicious and I would absolutely try another one of his classes.
