I recently had the pleasure of taking a cooking class with Chef Mariana, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment the class began, it was clear how knowledgeable she is—not just about recipes, but about techniques, ingredients, and the little details that make all the difference in cooking. What really stood out to me was her patience and clarity in teaching. She broke everything down into simple steps, making even the more complex techniques feel approachable. No question was too small, and she made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident in the kitchen. Beyond that, Chef Mariana is incredibly encouraging and engaging. She created such a welcoming atmosphere, making the class not just informative but truly fun. Whether you’re a beginner or someone with more experience, she meets you where you are and helps you improve in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. I walked away not only with delicious dishes but also with new skills and confidence in my cooking. If you're considering taking a class with her, don’t hesitate—you’ll learn, laugh, and leave inspired!
