Season to Taste

Wanna highly recommend this class to everyone the instructor is extremely knowledgeable. Teaches you everything from how to shop for groceries to how to chop it to how to season it to how to cook it and not just using recipes using flavors to create meals. Incredible class very entertaining. Nice small group, look into this class. It’s a really good.

I recently attend Season To Taste culinary class and it was a fantastic experience! John was knowledgeable, engaging and made cooking feel approachable for all skill levels. The hands-on experience and clear instructions made a huge difference. I left feeling more confident in my cooking skills and excited to try new recipes and cooking techniques at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their culinary techniques!

My company and team of 5 do a team building activity every quarter and this was by far the best experience! Chef John was extremely personable, professional and flexible from our first interaction to the end. He opened up his lovely home and kitchen to us for a 3 hour period, teaching us tips and tricks in the kitchen as him and his apprentice guided us through the recipes for a full course Mediterranean Meal that he picked out for us to cook based on our allergies and food preferences. Our meal also included a tasty wine pairing with a local Rose'. He was humorous and genuine and had everything ready for us just like you see on TV. His pricing was also very reasonable for the time, effort, ingredients and hospitality and training provided. I highly recommend Chef John for any cooking occasion whether it be for work, personal or both!

I bought a home cooking/learning session as a Christmas gift for my wife. John arrived at our house with all the ingredients and cooking pans and utensils. He talked to us not just about how to make the meal but what happens with cooking, how to hold the knife, cut onions and other vegetables so they don't fall apart, importance of waiting until the pan is hot for cooking, and so much more. We didn't cook from looking at a recipe and we seasoned everything to taste. My wife and I learned so much and had a fantastic meal. The experience was so much better than I had anticipated. John thank you for a great night of learning and cooking.

My daughter and I had a private class in my home with Chef John. He arrived on time, fully prepared with ingredients, cookware and a great personality. Although we have both been cooking for a long time, John taught us so much. I liked the fact he doesn't waste any food. Highly recommend Seasons to Taste.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Essentials Series and of John as a teacher! I had gotten to the point where I felt confident with "the what" of cooking, but wanted to understand "the why". This is the only class I could find that addressed the foundational pieces that I knew I was missing to become a more competent cook. John did a great job of giving enough background information to provide context for what we were doing, but kept the class moving at a pace that ensured we were able to cover all of the material in the time we had. I definitely recommend this course for anyone who wants to optimize their time in the kitchen, AND enjoys the art of creating a delicious meal!

I have just finished John’s Essential Series, and it is one of the best decisions I’ve made:) I learned so much in such a short time, and was able to put that knowledge to use straight away. This course is perfect for the aspiring home chef! I would recommend everybody take Season To Taste’s courses, life changing , seriously!!

Chef John Eisensmith's culinary essentials classes are an excellent hands-on experience for any person looking to learn the basics. His classes are in an intimate setting, setting you up for success! I love his passion for teaching as he truly cares about transmitting his extensive expertise and knowledge. In just 3 intensive classes, he is able to cover one whole year of culinary school, truly AMAZING!!! I highly recommend his classes if you are looking to elevate your culinary game!
