“I recently had the pleasure of attending a cooking class with Chef Shonta Young, and it was an unforgettable experience! Not only is Chef Shonta a master of culinary arts, but she also has a unique talent for teaching. Her patience, enthusiasm, and clear instructions made the class enjoyable and easy to follow. The dishes we prepared were absolutely delicious, and I left feeling confident in my ability to recreate them at home. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a beginner, Chef Shonta’s classes are a must-try. I can’t wait to attend another one soon!” - Kimberly M
