Shiso Kitchen — Attraction in Somerville

Our team recently had a corporate team-building activity at Shiso Kitchen, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The entire event was incredibly fun, and we were all blown away by how amazing the food we cooked turned out to be.

The real highlight of the evening was the Chef J Roy! Her energy was infectious, and she was not only super awesome and accommodating but also incredibly knowledgeable.

From start to finish, Jess made the experience interactive, engaging, and fun. It’s perfect for all skill levels and everyone in the group came away learning something they can apply when cooking at home.

We cooked the Southern Italian Supper menu and the gnocchi we made was out of this world. The class had the perfect balance of time spent cooking and time spent socializing with your group.
