Very well run class! Chef Susie provided clear instructions, suggested substitutes for ingredients to tweak recipes, and overall was very welcoming. The knife handling demo and tips were very helpful. The food was fantastic made with wonderful ingredients. I would very much recommend this class as a fun date night or get together with a friend. Thank you Chef Susie!

This was our first cooking class and chef Susie was amazing! She made it really fun and she taught me a lot about knife skills. Our tacos were super yummy and I can’t wait to take another class with her!

Suzy was absolutely amazing. There’s no better way to describe her knowledge, skill set, and patience. She did not rush us at all (despite our clumsy slowness with technique) and was able to correct and encourage. I cannot believe how much we learned in one class. She certainly went beyond the recipe to teach us about the importance of “time and temperature” and how to taste as you go to ensure the flavors fit your palate. I have walked away with so many new skills I can start applying right away and generalize to recipes I commonly make. The food did turn out so well, though, thanks to her guidance and expertise. The ambience was also lovely. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!!
