As someone who already enjoys cooking, I was thrilled to learn new techniques I can't wait to try at home. The food we made was delicious--especially the coffee short rib chili, which I was skeptical about but ended up loving. The only downside is that, since it's not a restaurant, you can't take food home. However, we were given the recipes, and I'm excited to recreate everything soon. I'm already looking forward to returning with friends!

The flavorful pan roasted rockfish with Mediterranean dressing was incredible. Panzanella salad so delicious! All throughout the preparation of the menu items Matt offers tons of other tips and tidbits, not to mention valuable knife skills. He is delightful to chat with - interesting and friendly with a great sense of humor. Excellent instructor. And lastly we made cannoli from scratch- amazing!

You feel like you're in such a welcoming and relaxing environment, and Chris is generous with drinks to make people feel at home. Her style is really approachable, and she tries hard to offer tips that will stay with you when you're cooking at home. I've learned so much from her: I use old T-shirts to dry my meat, I never salt my potatoes before roasting them, I crank up the heat real high to roast chicken, and I make my pizza outside on the grill. She has helped me expand my food horizons and feel comfortable experimenting in the kitchen. She's also an all-around amazing individual who has been around DC a long time and has good stories to tell. In short, it's a great activity for a night out with friends or even as a couple, and she offers useful recipes that will make you more comfortable in the kitchen to boot. I wish I still lived in DC so I could take regular classes with her.

For my wife's birthday, Chris put together a customized menu with a focus on local, organic, and healthy. Her "slow food" approach has long been a staple in her instruction, long before it became cool to go green.

Our afternoon session ended with a simple, yet divine treat of strawberries with balsamic and whipped cream. Just Simply... Cuisine is one of the best kept secrets in DC. Let Chris host you in her lovely home and delight you with recipes that you'll want to try on your own over and over again.

She shows up early to prepare the meal and sets a beautiful table. She cooks while we eat and explains each course.
