Compliments To The Chef
Your life is a balancing act. Juggling work, kids, house duties, sports and other activities.
Like you, I know what it's like to come home after a long day at work and answer the question, “What’s for dinner?”
You want to pull together a healthy, quality, home cooked meal for your family that everyone feels good about.
you're busy and haven't quite figured how to do all. The. Things.
I’ve been a professional chef for over 25 years, cooking in the kitchens of luxury hotels, resorts, and five-star restaurants. I've been under the wings of some of the most renowned chefs in New York like David Bouley of Bouley Bakery, Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten of Jean-Georges.
During the pandemic, I pivoted my expertise to host virtual cooking classes to bring families like you to learn new skills, make delicious meals, and create lasting memories together.

sure, I'm a chef...but at the end of the day, I'm a husband and father of two.
Your schedule is busy and hectic. I hear you. I get it.
What if I told you that you can cook (and actually enjoy it), learn different cuisines and craft wonderful meals (that beg to be repeated) for your friends and family?
After running a hotel kitchen all day, I run my home kitchen at night.
What if those recipes tempted even the pickiest of eaters in your family?
What if your kids were actually excited to help out because they were learning real skills and preparing a delicious meal alongside you that you're both proud of, so now you can sit around the table, talk about your day and enjoy dinnertime once again?
what if the legwork was already done for you, Recipes have been tried, tested and mastered, so that all you had to do was follow along step-by-step?
You'll never have to worry about dinnertime again.

"another fantastic night of cooking with chef raf. this meal was broken down into simple steps that my son easily followed. chef raf engages with each child to ensure they all feel included. he is by far our favorite instructor to take classes with. he has a passion for cooking and it really shines through when he talks to the students and gives them advice.
