"Chef Curtiss makes cooking fun and interesting again. The classes make a great girls night out!"

"Taken a few classes always informative and friendly atmosphere! Learning so much"

"My wife and I took a private cooking class with Curtiss at his cooking school on our honeymoon in summer 2020. Curtiss is a consummate professional at all things food and hospitality. He was sensitive but sensible about Covid-19 contagion risks in his spacious kitchen, including providing masks and sanitizer bottles for us. We socially distanced while preparing a four-course dinner then eating it together. Since then, I've repeatedly said to my wife that it was squarely one of the top five meals I've eaten. Curtiss created the menu, coached us through the preparation, and sat and ate with us. Through all this, he proved himself a font of knowledge, and interesting. He's a skilled teacher as well as cook, food writer, and photographer, not to mention his many interests in foraging, hunting, fishing, food chemistry, etc. His home, custom-built cooking school, and farm are all beautiful in their own right, and well worth the visit."
