Isaac is amazing and working with him has truly changed our daily lives. I met Isaac through Yelp when he hosted a cooking class for my friends and I. When our jobs got busy, (startups are awesome, not), we contacted Isaac to provide personal chef services. This has significantly improved our lives. Instead of rushing to the store to pick something up that is easy to cook or pre-made, then cook quickly without a chance to sit down with the kids at a dinner table, we simply come back home and heat up the food Isaac has dropped off. We have a fantastic, delicious yet healthy (paleo baby) meal ready to eat in 10 minutes.Isaac emails the menu weekly, we make choices and that is it. I cannot thank Isaac enough for the wonderful food and no hassle meal service he has provided to our family! More...

We have worked with Isaac in several capacities for over a year now and I can tell you he is an amazing chef and great to work with personally as well. He has done a cooking class for 6 couples (12 very different people, if you know what I mean, and everyone loved it) at our home, we have sampled several of his  proprietary BBQ sauces, and he has been cooking dinners for our family on a regular basis. He has an amazing repertoire and everything is delicioso! Ethnic, seafood, meat, fish, soups, salads - you name it and he does it great. Even our picky 9 yo loves it and regularly requests her fave dishes.  We have been so happy with Chef Isaac that we don't even want to go out to restaurants anymore.  He loves what he does and takes this very seriously, which I really respect.  His prices are very reasonable as well. This experience has been incomparable to those expensive frozen meal services. We come home to a fully cooked meal that just needs to be heated up for 10 min and enough for one more day (and we often have leftovers).  He is excellent at what he does, super professional and very friendly - a rare combination today. Can't say enough good things about Chef Isaac - highly recommend! More...

My husband and I invited Isaac to do an in-home cooking class with us one evening, and we had an absolutely phenomenal experience. Isaac is laid-back, low-key, and adaptable to tools/instruments that are available. He created a truly customized cooking experience for us from start to finish. He worked with us before the session to put together a menu that met our desires - learning quick, easy tapas-sized dishes. We made: Caesar salad with made-from-scratch dressing, crab cakes, shrimp in a spicy cream sauce, soy and lime marinated tuna tartare on wonton chips, and a seared pepper steak with a pine nut and goat cheese gremolata. He shopped for all of the ingredients and showed up fully equipped. He was able to quickly assess our skill level and tailor his teaching to offer us some great new tips and tricks. It was a very interactive experience, with all of us hands-on prepping and cooking, tasting, etc. I really liked how, unlike traditional cooking classes, he timed everything so that we could actually sit down and eat it all together at the end - so it was a true meal rather than tasting courses. And the flavor profiles of each of the dishes was incredible! He also cleaned up to boot. We would highly recommend a class with Isaac! More...

I'm a student in college and wanted to give my Mom a sentimental Christmas present so I booked a lesson with Chef Isaac to recreate the paella my Mom and I had together when we traveled to Barcelona last year. It was so much fun and the whole family was able to join in and learn some new tricks that they could use when cooking on their own. The meal was absolutely incredible (better than what we had in Barcelona!) and everything was brought to our home so we didn't have to worry one bit. Thank you so much Chef Isaac! More...

Chef Isaac ran a cooking class for my girlfriends and I in my home. Chef Isaac was amazing from start to finish! He offered great menu suggestions for our group (gluten-free as well), purchased and brought all the ingredients and cleaned up after the class. We made flat iron steak with caramelized onions in his Chipotle Grill Slathers sauce, along with some side dishes... THE CHIPOTLE GRILL SLATHERS IS MOUTH WATERING!! Chef Isaac showed us some very useful cooking and knife skills to put to good use in the future. It was a fantastic, easy-going evening with Chef Isaac and a great way to brush up on our kitchen skills in a comfortable setting!! Bon Appetite! More...

I recently enjoyed Isaac's carnitas, pork al pastor, and pollo asado. They are all awesome! His Chipotle sauce as always, is the icing on the cake and the fresh guacamole is delicious. Thanks for yet another great meal!

Isaac is friendly and easy to work with in your own kitchen at home. Â He taught my husband to cook his favorite Italian dish -- Spicy Cajun Seafood with Fresh Fettuccine, along with Chanterelle Mushrooms Bruschetta and a side of Fresh Mozarella and Heirloom Tomatoes. Â The entire house was filled with tantalizing aromas of savoring Italian seasonings. Â It was such a nice treat and we enjoyed a delicious meal! Â I highly recommend Isaac, his style is simple to follow and we are looking forward to his next cooking session of our choice!! More...

I took a wonderful class with Isaac yesterday evening. He came to my place in San Francisco and taught me and two of my young professional friends knife and essential skills for a great price (much cheaper given all that we did than several cooking schools I research online). Not only did we make a healthy and super tasty chicken salad with pearl couscous, he also showed us how to make a simple mozzarella appetizer. Isaac was patient with us the whole time and answered all the questions we threw at him. He brought all the food and knives. We supplied the cookware and plates. I would highly recommend this to anyone and very interested in taking another class with him soon! More...

I was fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of two of Chef Isaac's meals. Â My first was juicy BBQ chicken smoked in an enormous smoker. Â A BBQ sauce of Chef Isaac's infused with blueberries and just enough spice. Â The smoky flavor of the chicken, combined with the BBQ sauce and a mild chipotle sauce to mellow the spice, should need be, gave me my first taste of chicken made in a smoker. Â The chicken was accompanied with vegetables also smoked. Â The acorn squash was wonderfully cooked, not mushy at all. Luckily for me, my second Chef Isaac meal were smoked ribs. Â Besides being the largest ribs I have seen, they had just the right balance of smoke and spice. Â Along with cornbread, coleslaw and macaroni salad, I can't think of a better way to have a BBQ! Â Chef Isaac's smoker travels and I could see him making many outdoor parties memorable. Â I am definitely a fan of meat cooked in a smoker! Â The fragrance itself while cooking is enough to make you drool. More...

I had a cooking class with Chef Isaac in my home. Â We made an amazing dinner -- beef wellington with a wine pan sauce, green beans and mashed potatoes. Â His style is friendly and approachable, he is very knowledgable and he gave me lots of information to make cooking these dishes seem very simple. Had some friends over for dinner after and they liked the food too. Â I recommend his class to anybody that wants to learn in their own kitchen with their own equipment. More...
