The Chef Jojo Cooking Class Experience in 30A
I believes that cooking should be an enjoyable and enriching experience. My happiest family moments have taken place in the kitchen. Bringing those experiences and sharing with you and your group, has allowed me to do what I love without feeling like it’s work!

Whether you’re looking to learn the basics or explore advanced culinary techniques, we have a class for you. Gnocchi Class, Pizza Class, Sushi Class, and Create Your Own Cooking Class are the current options to select from!
“Chef Jojo was a joy to work with! I booked an intimate at home sushi class / dinner for my sister and brother in law. She was promptly on time and took care of everything from the prep and table set up to the cooking and clean up. They had the best time and we will absolutely be working with Chef Jojo again!”
What to Expect
Customized Lessons: One of the first things we do is discuss your goals and preferences to meet the needs of your class. Whether you want to learn how to make fresh gnocchi, perfect a French pastry, or master the art of sushi, I will create a lesson plan that suits your interests and skill level. Typically, the class begins after I have had a chance to prepare the ingredients for the class, make the appetizers for us to munch on, and get the dessert going so when we are ready to party the food is ready too!
Hands-On Learning: Our classes are interactive and hands-on, allowing you to get involved in every step of the cooking process. Be part of the class when I enter or just enjoy the fun part! Totally your call & your party.
High-Quality Ingredients: We use only the freshest and highest quality ingredients, sourced from local 30A suppliers. This ensures that every dish not only tastes amazing but also reflects the rich flavors of the region. I of course do still shop at Publix for things as that would be insanely expensive to source EVERYTHING that way, however I am happy to do so with specific instructions.
Planning Your Cooking Class
Booking in Advance: To ensure availability, especially during peak seasons in 30A, it's best to book your cooking class as early as possible. We recommend reaching out at least a few weeks in advance. This gives us ample time to plan and customize your lesson and to make all necessary arrangements for your cooking adventure. Lately we have been just booked around the clock, there really isn’t an off season anymore for us!
Accommodating Dietary Needs: Every individual is unique, and we are more than happy to accommodate dietary restrictions, allergies, and special requests. When planning your class, simply let us know about any specific dietary needs, and we will tailor the menu accordingly. From gluten-free and vegan options to indulgent and decadent dishes, we've got you covered. I prefer to cook sort of an in between, cooking with vegetables, dense starches, and of course trying not to use TOO much sugar on the sweets. I tend to use more dairy on the dessert instead of sugar, paired with liquuors, and some sort of cake!
Personalized and Interactive Experience: Cooking classes with me offer a level of personalization and interaction that is unparalleled. Unlike pre-recorded tutorials or large group classes, our one-on-one or small group sessions allow for personalized attention and immediate feedback, making the learning experience more effective and enjoyable. You also never know what is going to be said or what is going to happen, that being said, we do know one thing, and that is that you will get messy! (Maybe an NDA is needed JK IKYKY)
Day of the Class: On the day of your cooking class, I will arrive at your location with all the necessary ingredients and equipment. We bring everything you need to create a delicious meal, from fresh produce and high-quality meats to spices and cooking tools. As the class progresses, you’ll learn to prepare each dish step-by-step, with me (Chef Jojo) guiding you through techniques and offering tips and tricks. We typically arrive between 2:30 - 3:30 pm for class to begin around 6:00-6:30 pm.
Ensuring Freshness and Quality: We source our ingredients from trusted local suppliers and prioritize seasonal, fresh produce. This commitment to freshness and quality is what sets my cooking classes apart. You’ll not only learn how to cook delicious meals but also understand the importance of using high-quality ingredients. I tend to use a lot of fresh herbs and citrus, so if you think you don’t like something just let me know and I will be sure to leave off for you or your guest!
Additional Services: In addition to the cooking class, we can assist with setting up your kitchen, arranging any necessary utensils and equipment, and cleaning up after the lesson. Our goal is to make your cooking experience as effortless and enjoyable as possible, so you can focus on learning and having fun.
