The Gateway Professional was an experience like no other I’ve ever experienced. As I consider myself an accomplished, self-taught home cook, the reason I wanted to attend this bootcamp was to bump up my level of cooking. Little did I know what I was heading into.

The wealth of knowledge that Chef Kofi has is amazing! Did I think I could sit still for a daily two hour morning lecture? Another lecture in the afternoon? Not a chance. Never has time passed so quickly. I didn’t expect to learn so much. Not only could we rely upon Chef Jacob to answer our questions.

As a registered dietitian and cooking enthusiast, I enjoy learning about new foods, new flavors and new techniques. Chef Kofi's culinary Gateway Professional teaches his F-STEP system for planning and prepping a dish. This is an innovative approach that expands the cook's thinking and creativity.

Before taking Gateway Professional with Chef Kofi I thought that I was pretty serious about cooking and tweaking recipes but with what I learned it took my cooking to a whole new level. First of all the F-STEP process gives you the structure to analyze a recipe, spot potential problems and make intelligent changes.
