Chef Stephen and his wife Jen were a delight. Chef’s knowledge and expertise were apparent and his ability to transcend that knowledge during the night ended up leaving my wife and I with tips to cook together on date nights. Chef was a wonderful host and the experience he and Jen provided was one of a kind. Definitely worth your time and would make for an amazing date night for any couple.

This in home culinary experience was above and beyond our expectations! The entire evening was wonderful, starting with scratch blood Orange margaritas to the 3-course southwest dinner prepared by Chef Mort. Every course was absolutely delicious. Chef is a pro, and I highly recommend this experience!

What a great evening with Stephen and his wife Jen! I decided to treat my husband to a fun experience for his birthday and this was such a memorable one. When we arrived there were delicious snacks waiting and Stephen made us a lovely cocktail while sharing his experience and background. Then we learned how to make these amazing lobster quesadillas. While those cooked, we worked on making our own tamales stuffed with a delicious mushroom filling. All the while, Jen his wife, is creating mocktails and sharing conversation in their gorgeous spacious kitchen. Once the tamales and rice were ready, the four of us sat down and enjoyed a fresh, flavorful feast! Finally we finished with a really lovely warm brownie sprinkled in cinnamon, sugar and tajine, and a scoop of vanilla. It was truly a lovely experience and I would highly recommend it. Also, recommend that Stephen consider a BRUNCH cooking class! I would imagine he’d concoct something absolutely delicious- his experience was long and his knowledge was so deep. Loved it!
