Testimonials

Daniel has taught cooking classes for my Ayurvedic retreats and the feedback from the students was very positive.  His teaching style is friendly and personable and his food knowledge is incredible.  He is a passionate chef and knows a great deal about all the ingredients he uses.  He talks wisely and on accessible, practical terms on the nutritional content of foods, where to source them regarding sustainability and purity, and how to properly cook and store them.  I recommend his cooking workshops to any group for some great fun while learning a most valuable healing tool.

Daniel is an amazing chef and teacher.  I learned techniques as well as knowledge about the ingredients themselves in his cooking class.  His meals are both practical and extremely delicious.  They reflect his love and expertise of cooking.  We hired him to do a special party and all the guests were raving about the food.

Daniel has taught me for the past five years how to balance healthful eating with all the pleasures that yoga-based food can have. He lives every day as a foodie, and his formal, gourmet meals are simply divine!
