From there, we went inside to the wine tasting (for a least a glass) before I headed back however needless to say 2.5hrs later and 10 bottles sacked to go, we finally left. It is always a good time hanging out with Chef Gwyn and her staff. This was my 2nd event at her establishment and I can't wait until I can join in again...If you venture out to the island I encourage you to come join in as well. It's a beautiful experience and the setting looking out over the water and with boats cruising about is just a lovely chill way to spend a Sunday afternoon and evening.

Chef Matt delivered an amazing experience for 4 people! Our friend has a baby and a toddler and…read moregreatly appreciated a fine dining experience coming to her house! He brought all the ingredients and taught us tips like how to cut an onion without crying and the right way to cut a mango! The best mai tai of my life started us off. Then he made mahi mahi with chutney, and a Caribbean themed main dish of mango sauce marinated ribs and slaw. Dessert was bananas foster due to time, he had other options including flan, but flan takes too long. Generally, it's a 4 hour night with eating at the end, so plan accordingly. The perfect Friday evening hang out with friends and learn something new. Highly recommend, especially as a gift to friends.

Chef Matt takes care of everything -- the food, the cooking utensils and cookware and the cleanup. All you have to do is select a menu, pick a date for the cooking session in your home kitchen and decide how active you want to be during the class. I chose a Spanish theme so we made patatas bravas, Gambas al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp), Serrano Ham, Manchego, Pear and Carmelized Onion Puff Pastry Bites, and Vegetarian Paella. I cook and bake a lot, so it was great being able to pick Chef Matt's brain for tips and tricks to improve my skills. If you have a foodie in your life this is an awesome gift/experience for them!

Weeks later we're still talking about the food we made and looking into buying our own pasta roller. They made my birthday one to remember! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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. She walked us through a five course meal, teaching new techniques while entertaining topics on food and life. We particularly enjoyed the roasted butterflied chicken with fresh sage. 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.

The reception was several days ago, but I am still hearing compliments about the food. I completely agree with the rave reviews. Not only was the food abundant, but it was also high quality. My relatives and coworkers have all expressed their approval of our menu. We had the meatballs and shrimp macaroni salad as appetizers, along with the standard cheese/crackers and fruit hor devours. The main course consisted of stuffed chicken, steamship round, and crab balls (everyone really loved these). She also provided cole slaw, green beans, apple sauce, and rolls/butter. Her team was polite and did not rush the service whatsoever. I would absolutely recommend this catering service!
