A woman on the other table was celiac and a lot of care was taken to prevent cross contamination and to prepare separate dishes. I highly recommend this event.

We were able to see the town as well as a cellar that was previously used as a shelter in WWII. The wine was outstanding, we bought a bottle each of the wines they provided.

It was so much fun, and if we’re able to come back to Italy at…”

“Six of us met in Charleston for a girls weekend. From the very beginning, Chef Forrest ("Gump") set the tone with his warm, engaging personality—he is not only entertaining but also deeply knowledgeable about Charleston’s history, food, and culture. The walking portion of the tour was truly special. We explored lesser-known streets filled with stories that brought the city’s past to life. Chef wove together Charleston’s layered history with vivid detail, helping us appreciate the architecture and craftsmanship. This historical context gave us a much deeper understanding of how the city has evolved and why its culture is so unique today. The tour culminated in a beautifully prepared meal that...”

“The cooking class was an excellent experience. Everyone could choose their own dish and cook exactly what they preferred, rather than everyone making the same meal, which we really appreciated. The instructor spoke very good English, was kind, funny, and created a relaxed, positive atmosphere. She guided us through the cooking clearly and professionally, answered all our questions, and was happy to repeat instructions when needed. There were plenty of customization options (spicy or not, with or without mushrooms), and nothing was a problem. At the end, we received a PDF recipe book and enjoyed the food we cooked ourselves. Highly recommended 😊”
