Chef Shelby was AMAZING. I really didn't know what to expect. She had great reviews and a previous comment about her single, magic bag of goodies was dead on. I have never experienced something like this - A professional chef, coming into our home, to teach us how to cook a great beautiful meal and the whole time we are eating delicious food!!! She was knowledgeable, super friendly, funny, and very well prepared. After she left, my boyfriend and I were talked about all night and then again this morning. We had a great time. Thank you Chef! I look forward to taking another class!!!!
