The food was fantastic and we had an enjoyable time. On most vacations, we prepare our own elaborate meals. However, we decided to hire a chef for one night to experience different cooking styles and try new dishes. The chef fit in perfectly with our relaxed family atmosphere and did not intrude on our dinner. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

Our Zesty Experience was amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to do something beyond the usual dinner experience. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my parents, wanting to do something unique that we could enjoy together when I returned home to visit. Cheryll and Gerald were incredibly responsive and professional, helping me with all the details of the meal and creating an organized plan for the night. Their expertise in food and drinks was impressive - they were able to accommodate my mom's request for a hot alcoholic drink and my dad's need for heart-healthy options. On the day of the event, they arrived fully prepared and ready to host the night. Cheryll's cocktails were fabulous, and she explained the details of the meal while Gerald set up the kitchen for our cooking lesson. They were fantastic conversationalists, and we had a great time learning more about them and the evening's meal as we went along. Gerald was patient and an excellent teacher, showing us new tricks and techniques we hadn't seen before. The meal was delicious, and as a New York City foodie, I was thrilled with the quality and taste. We were blown away by the level of service, and it was a pleasure to have someone with such culinary knowledge cook for us and clean up in our own home. We loved this experience so much that we plan on bringing Zesty Experience back for future family gatherings and parties.

Gerald and Cheryll of Zesty Experience made our anniversary unforgettable! Working with them to cook homemade pasta during our private class was an incredibly fun and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend Zesty Experience and would love to take another class with them. Thank you so much for making our special day even more special! :)

Gerald surpassed all expectations!! To celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, I booked a cozy mountain cabin. Initially, I had doubts about whether Gerald could prepare a meal in such a rustic setup. But Gerald's arrival with his impressive cooking arsenal left us awed - he was able to whip up a gourmet feast that was nothing short of a five-star dining experience. His efficiency, expertise, and professionalism left a lasting impression on us and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking to elevate their culinary expertise. A heartfelt thanks to you, Gerald, for making this a memorable experience!!

Gerald and Cheryll from Zesty Experience were amazing! Our organization requested a virtual cooking class with them and we had an exceptional experience. Their recommendations for the dishes were scrumptious and we cooked alongside them effortlessly. They also supplied us with the recipes, a grocery list and pro tips for prepping beforehand, all of which our aspiring home cooks can use for future reference. Thank you, Gerald and Cheryll, for hosting a fantastic event!
