CERTIFIED TESTED
We are in-home entertainment experts. Each class with The Chef & The Dish undergoes a Certified Testing process. Our chefs test every class with our Certified Testers.
We cook every recipe, sometimes multiple times, in multiple settings, to ensure dishes are replicated in the most authentic and delicious way.
No class is launched until it has surpassed a series of criteria, achieving the gold standard our clients expect and deserve.

That means, they turn away all other class requests for that day and time.
