I had no idea what to expect other than hoping for as great of an experience as the reviews I read…read more I was a little apprehensive about it being at someone's home instead of a restaurant or business, but it was probably even better I set this up for a work team bonding event. We ended up being only 5 minutes late, but Chef Titik was so welcoming. The only thing should have been a disclosure about having pets and potential allergies. She made us a welcome drink which was very tasty. She told us a little about herself and experience as a chef. We learned so much inclusive of knife sharpening techniques to how to properly cut fruits and vegetables, putting together seasoning, tips and tricks, and some facts about food. She even took photos of us and shared them. She made us feel like family at home having us over for dinner helping cook. It was such a memorable experience and so unique and perfect for my team. We all love food and travel so this is definitely one for the books. We all had a blast and would highly recommend.

Although my reservation was more than a week away, they would not give me a full refund. Every page of the website says "No Hidden Fees," but the part-owner who identified herself as Kim said she would not refund a $75 booking fee and 3% processing fee because I did not read the "fine print" under the FAQs on their website. She was incredulous, unsympathetic, rude, and quite proud of herself for catching me in her scam. She even implied that she has done this to others without shame.
