  • 4/5 from Dennis Ouma, attended Sep 2025: This was our first class with Chef Michael, and his approach immediately put everyone at ease, making for a very engaging evening. We learned how to prepare authentic Jamaican jerk marinade and even took samples home to try. What I liked most was the relaxed atmosphere of the night, and the class size was ideal for learning. I learned that there was a specific technique to combining the ingredients—the progressive layering of each component and gentle blending method both played crucial roles in how well the marinade came together.
