cooking class

My partner gave this cooking class to me as a gift. While I was a bit suspect at first, we had a fantastic afternoon playing in the kitchen, while learning all sorts of useful skills like measuring, chopping, mixing, preparing and heating, that we'll use over and over again. We finished it off with a few glasses of wine while we enjoyed the delicious food that we made together with Zigi. It was more than just a learning experience - it was a memorable and entertaining afternoon that we would highly recommend, for couples, groups and company team-building. Thanks again Zigi! Cheers, Pam & Andy

The cooking class given by ZCC was truly an eye-opener. We tried a vast range of different dishes, so much that we couldn't have hoped to eat all the results! We learned all about how to select ingredients for, prepare and cook our chosen dishes, and then we got to eat it as well. We were even given a DVD of the event, so we did not have to take notes. A great 'team-building' exercise, and great fun too. The meal was an experience not to be missed. It went down extremely well with our guests, and was a memorable event for us all. Everything was done for us, all we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves. The service was personal and discreet, and the food was, of course, superlative. We have no hesitation in recommending ZCC in every way, and will certainly be using them again when we want to add a touch of class and luxury to public or private events.

We had a fantastic afternoon throwing together all sorts of delectable dishes and even more fun tasting the products of our labour with a few glasses of wine at the end of it.

The one-on-one cooking class was great. It was fun and also the best cooking lesson imaginable. I learnt more than just how to follow a recipe; I learnt how to cook. I use what I learnt every day. Cheers, George - Sydney

Thank you so much for facilitating our team building cooking class. All of the eight team members who participated in the evening commented on how much fun they had, how much they learnt about cooking and how much they learnt about each other. Joanne was really a great host. She came organised with every piece of kitchen equipment you need to create a culinary delight, an easy going and fun sense of humour and a nothing is too much trouble attitude. With a vocal and animated team with no experience with sharp objects in close proximity to each other, Joanne ensured we were firstly safe, secondly smiling, thirdly all working towards a goal and lastly very well feed. We left the evening knowing a bit more about each other (even if we didn't need to know or see some of those things), and few new recipes under our bulging belts too. To anyone thinking about a fun and innovative way to have a dinner party, ask Zigi and one of his chiefs to come along and make it a hands on cooking class where you prepare, cook and then enjoy together the fruits of your labour.

Double the value: you learn how to cook several dishes and you get to meet different people by swapping stations in the kitchen. It was great fun swapping tips (and disasters!) with others in the group. It's a great way to "try before you buy" and see how domesticated the guys are! Rita Quinn

This was a great activity, easily the best one of the day. It's a shame we were late. Daniel Scarponi, BAT(British American Tobacco Australia) "Fun experience with fun chef which makes cooking so simple and enjoyable." Maggie Ma, BAT(British American Tobacco Australia) The cooking class was very good last week and I enjoyed very much - in particular, I was given some tips on how to cook steak from our experienced chef Zigi! It's good to have this relaxed and fun team building exercise. Zigi controlled the entire environment and the timing very well. Overall, a wonderful time! Nathan Ho, BAT(British American Tobacco Australia) It was definitely a good venue for team building and fan. It was a brilliant idea and I would not mind to do it again or recommend to Someone else. Thomas Tang, BAT(British American Tobacco Australia) Zigi is truly inspirational and every night since attending the jam-packed, fun-filled adventure of his cooking class, I have been in the kitchen every single night trying out new dishes and eating the tastiest meals I have ever had in my life! The best thing about the class is not just the laughter and fun interactions between everyone, it was Zigi's special techniques and little tips that truly made the difference! I learnt a lot and had the best time of my life, will definately cook with Zigi again sometime! Brendan Baker, BAT(British American Tobacco Australia)

Our thank you also goes to Joanna & Sachiko who took us through the cooking instructions and made us all feel comfortable in a relaxed atmosphere with a glass of wine and music in the background.

WOW! What a night of delicious cuisine. I was looking for a special way to celebrate my 5yr wedding anniversary with my wife. I was lucky enough to find ZCC personal chef services browsing the internet. When I spoke with Zigi to ask about preparation, menu's, timing and just how the whole thing would work I found Zigi and his team to be professional and personal all in the one conversation. He put my mind at ease and I looked forward to the night. My wife came home to a wonderful surprise of a personal chef cooking up a 4-course meal with all the 5 star trimmings. ZCC were on time, cooked a meal that was just amazing and left without a trace of ever being there. The only problem we have now is we are trying to make up another reason for ZCC to come back so we can sit back and enjoy the experience again. Thank you Zigi, it's a night we'll never forget.

Zigi, We had a great time, it was so relaxing to be in our own house and be waited on so beautifully. Matt said it was a little strange to have someone we didn't know in our house at first but you were so warm and friendly and appropriate that he really enjoyed it. The food was really special and delicious – we loved eating tart for dessert the next couple of nights. And – I think our kitchen was cleaner after you left than when you arrived.Thanks for making Matt's birthday so special. Kind regards, Jo Bowyer (Gledesville)

Dear Zigi, I just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic night my wife and I had on Sunday. We were extremely surprised at the professionalism of your chef. The food was also excellent. The freshness and flavors of all the dishes were definitely of higher quality than what we normally have at rstaurants. The selection of the menu, which I believe was designed by yourself, was great. As you know my wife has a few food allergies, and the menu that you prepared suited her diet as well as being extremely delicious. On the morning of the dinner, we found out that my wife had more allergies than what I had indicated to you during our initial consultation. However, your chef was able to change the ingredients on the run while keeping the flavors to a maximum. Other than the food, the presentation as well as the service was fantastic. We were also left with a clean kitchen, which my wife greatly appreciated. I will most definitely use your services again in the future, and would have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends. Regards, Bora Dincel (Rozelle)

Dear Zigi, There is no shortage of trained chefs in Sydney. Nor is there a shortage of people in the food industry who talk about passion. However to encounter a professional who is genuinely passionate about his craft and equally genuine about communicating that passion, well that is unusual. You are one of those rare people who has a very high level of skill and belief but can still train and motivate someone who has a much lower level of skill and belief. I absolutely loved the experience of cooking with you. I learnt more in 3 hours with you than I had in the previous thirty years of doing it myself and reading cookbooks!! The outcome was a superb meal and a great experience not only for me but also for my wife and daughter. The fact you loved reggae was a bonus...... By all means feel free to use this as a testimonial. If anyone needs a reference for you I will happily supply it. You were skilled, passionate, engaging and highly efficient. What else could a customer want? Best regards Mark

"I am writing to Express my Sincerest thoughts and to share my experience with Zigi and his team, when I seeked his services for the most important day of my life so far. I made a decision that this year was the year to propose to my girlfriend of 8 years and make it official. I had the ring, and by October had the perfect place as we had just purchased our first home together, all I needed was an occasion and a way to do it. I decided to hire a personal chef to cook us a full 3 course meal in the comfort of our own place, what I thought would be a hard process was made extremely smooth, comfortable and professional by the first name I came across when I googled " Personal Chefs", that was "ZIGI'S PERSONAL CHEF SERVIES". From day one Zigi treated me like a friend and made the whole process as smooth and easy as it could be, as I was trying to keep it a secret and have it organized upon my partner's return from overseas in early December. Nothing was a problem for Zigi, after numerous changes to date's and time's and menu selection, we settled on a date, time, and menu, and once the chef and waitress showed up, it was a perfect 10 out of 10 from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing and the friendly, easy going but professional attitude of our chef and his assistance couldn't have been better. All in all, from the day I first enquired (back in September I think) up until and even after the day of proposal (December 2nd) Zigi kept in touch and made sure I was happy with everything. The whole process was extremely successful, and it set the scene for a beautiful night and what is the happiest day of my life as she said yes and we are set to be married in March 2011. So, I would like to thank Zigi and his team for making the most memorable night of my life, perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Zigi to anyone and I will most defenently be using his services again in the future. On a side note, the cooking and food that night inspired me to want to be able to cook better and more for my fiancé' and I have been trying my luck at home as a kitchen chef since. Thank you once again Zigi, all the best for the future." Kind Regards Cameron Keep

Zigi's cooking function was a brilliant team event. All the chefs were personable and ensured everyone got involved in the decisioning making and cooking but also ensured a relaxing and fun environment. The ingredient choices were far more superior than expected so the end results were tasty, well cooked meals that each team member was proud of. I would recommend Zigi and his program for your next team event. Fantastic day. Casual enough to be a heap of fun, and serious enough to be a very effective team building exercise. I have been meaning to drop you a line and say thank you very much for organising such a great team bonding event. I picked up a few good ideas and have already tried a few things out at home !! Mind you I was starting out from an extremely low base in the cooking dept! This was the best "team bonding" activity I have done and I have already recommended to a few people. Zigi's sense of humour and big personality added some good entertainment to the mix too! I really enjoyed it – was something different that the whole team could join in on. It was a great day. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. Feedback from the whole team was very positive, with many people commenting that it was the best team bonding day ever. Zigi was a lot of fun and the food was sensational. The team at Genworth Financial

Hi Zigi, Thanks very much, we all had a fantastic night - especially the bride! Her feedback to me was that it was exactly what she was after. The food was really tasty and everyone had a lot of fun in preparing it. I think the thing I am most impressed with it how well the whole night flowed. The chefs supported us and guided us well through each stage of the night in a way that felt very casual and effortless. It was sensational that they were able to make it all happen so smoothly and we were grateful that the chefs were so kind in letting us run a bit overtime. Thanks again, and all the best for 2011!

Hi Zigi, Thank you so very much for the wonderful dinner you prepared for us and our friends on Friday Night.  From the first time we spoke I knew that I had found just the right person to come into our home and cook for our friends ,who fancy themselves as accomplished chefs.  All the pressure was taken away from me, I didn’t even need to buy anything or clean up, you came fully equipped and stepped into our kitchen and took control . Your warm, friendly personality made everyone feel relaxed and the meal was prepared with little fuss, was perfectly timed and at the end of the evening it was nice to share a drink with you. Best of all, our guests were very impressed with the quality of the food and the perfect balance of flavours for each course.  So job well done, Zigi.  I could get very used to having you in my kitchen.! We will certainly be speaking to you again soon to organise another event. With much appreciation, Julie Scott

Hi Zigi
Thanks for a great evening on Saturday. The consensus was the girls really liked it and had a good time.
The food was great - very easy to cook and tasted delicious. I think most of us were surprised that such a thing such as Israeli couscous existed!! I know a few girls weren't that confident in cooking so now they are more confident cooking fish. We all learnt some good lessons that day.
Thanks a lot for an enjoyable night!

Catering

Dear Zigi, As you know our family has been using your catering service for some years. Why do we keep coming back? There are three reasons:
  • The quality is always the highest. I do not think you have ever used even one green bean that was not the very best produce to be found. You really source the best without fail.
  • Your recipes are always evolving, always fresh and always excellent. I think every meal you have prepared for us we rate as among the best meals we have eaten. You have consistency without complacency and that is hard to do, yet you always pull it off.
  • You are professional and engaging as are your staff. Punctual, tidy and enjoyable to be around.
Feel free to use this email as our testimonial to you. We are delighted to be able to use Zigi's Personal Chef Services and we wish you ongoing business success because you really deserve it. Yours Sincerely, Mark Diamond Director and Executive Chairman Biomass Technologies Pty. Ltd.

We all found the food, instruction and service to be amazing – and have used a few tips already (like the oiled onion to clean and oil the griddle) I can't wait for Greg and Joe to cook us a full meal. Grace too was very excited to learn how to cook a steak properly – she has a passion for her steak! And the kids both learned to love a new food – Grace has never been fond of prawns but loved the marinade so much that she is a convert, and Joe couldn't face couscous for years after eating nothing but couscous for 8 days on a school camp but I'm happy to say they are now reacquainted and getting on famously! I was truly delighted that the evening turned out the way it did – it hit all the right notes and achieved exactly what it was intended to – lots of learning, lots of delicious food and lots of fun!

Suprise 30th

Thank you Zigi, for such a wonderful evening helping us celebrate my wife's surprise 30th birthday. It was such a pleasure to see such professionalism in both the kitchen and service from you, and yet still maintain a very relaxed and entertaining environment. All the food was beyond expectation with cleared plates after each course by every guest! It was an absolute delight having you in our home and you were a perfect addition to the surprise event.

Classes

Hi Zigy, I really enjoyed the 2 classes I attended recently, ABC of Cooking and Cook to Impress, it's given me confidence to create more interesting meals for my family, I learnt a lot in both classes, although still can't get the hang of that big knife, will have to keep practicing. You mentioned about sending some recipes out by email, would love to receive them then I can really start to cook. Thanks again for a great day on both occasions everyone was really friendly and we all had a good time and you were very patient with us all, and thanks also to Emma who was extremely helpful. Thanks again. Patricia Lowe

Hen's Night

Hi Zigi We had a great time for my friend's hen's night - there were lots of laughs (especially with the cheeky games), delicious food and we even learnt a thing or two in the kitchen! Having 2 chefs in the kitchen was also great and very helpful. I would definitely recommend Zigi's Personal Chef Services to our family and friends. And I will definitely be trying out the recipes at home.
