"My wife gave me the He Cooks course for my birthday. I was OK on the BBQ and an interested but intimidated novice in the kitchen. The 6 nights were fantastic. The watching and discussing of the "how, what and why" of the proposed meal was way better than watching it on TV. Then to immediately prepare it myself, with another student, with any questions answered as they arose was just brilliant. To then sit down to a high class restaurant quality meal (with the added satisfaction that I had helped prepare it) was great value indeed. The accompanying wines and discussion of why they matched so well was the icing on the cake. I have now cooked several of the dishes from the course for guests and can modify recipes without fear or failure (at least not yet!). Great chefs, great teachers, lovely food and wine, good company - if only school had been like this!"

"You may recall that I said we were having a dinner party this week and that I was going to do some kind of casserole. Well, after all my He Cooks fun, I didn't think that made much sense so I took my life in my hands and made the black mussel risotto as a main course - for six. I'd never done anything more than for two before, but I had checked with Kai on the obvious maths. Although instead of doubling everything from entrée to mains, I just added 50 per cent. That turned out to be plenty. I also knocked up one of your great Caesar salads to go with it. My guests were not only our oldest friends and their eldest daughter and her partner - but serious foodies to boot.
"The result was a triumph. I had them begging for the recipes. I was literally showered with congratulations.
"All in all, a huge confidence booster which I intend to repeat with some other of my favorite He Cooks recipes. So, thanks to He Cooks and especially to our great mentor, Kai."

"I found the course great - I've tried a couple of the dishes and really surprised myself. The mussels risotto was great and I look forward to cooking the more exotic Thai dishes soon - especially the black sticky rice -wow."

"A big thank you to He Cooks for running a fantastic class for our Business Development Conference. Ben and his team were efficient, confident and knowledgeable and provided a great experience in helping our group learn and come together as a team. The detail involved in all areas of the evening were finely tuned and well put together – despite being run at a new venue for them. We really appreciated it!” - Sally Bell, Marsh Insurance Pty Ltd, January 2008
“Ben, as per my note last week I want to say many thanks for the professional and entertaining contribution you made to our conference. The cooking class was the perfect way to highlight the importance of working as a team with a nice element of humour and individuality. We have received many compliments and messages of thanks from the whole team, who obviously enjoyed it very much.
Once again many thanks for all of your efforts. It was very much appreciated. I look forward to catching up again with you in the future.”
