Create Irish comfort food with a boozy twist in this hands-on, live online cooking class with Chef Tracy. You'll make two Irish dishes packed with flavor (and plenty of booze), beginning with a meat and vegetable cottage pie, a twist on the shepherds pie that incorporates Scottish ale and Irish beer. Then, you'll learn to make a creamy, chocolaty Irish pie from scratch that's spiked with Bailey's, Irish whiskey and Guinness beer.

Chef Tracy’s dining experience was amazing. Her knowledge of food, & nutrition coupled with her vast life experience made for an unforgettable experience. My date and I had an amazing time. I learned so much about technique, and overall how much she knew about not only cooking but nutrition and diet. It was truly a gift to meet her. She has a wealth of knowledge in so many different facets. Highly recommend. We plan to do more in the future!

Class was a great experience! Chef Tracy was very knowledgeable of the cuisine and shared great “rescue tips” as well. I highly recommend and would take another class with her.

Chef Tracy is a very knowledgeable and highly energetic professional. She arrived punctually at our venue, quickly set up and began class right on time. She led us well through the preparation steps while giving us the amount of conversation comfortable for our group. My sense is she has a keen awareness of the audience and can adjust the amount of conversation accordingly. Our meal was excellent! Our Chef was even better!

I surprised my long-term boyfriend with this cooking class for his birthday! We had a great time and learned a lot. Chef Tracy was very knowledgeable and patient with us. She answered all of our cooking questions and showed us how many tips and tricks to improve our cooking skills, including knife skills. Overall, it was a lot of fun, and we had plenty of tasty food to take home after the class!

We took the class in January but had to reschedule a few times due to unforeseen circumstances at the time. Chef Tracy was flexible but there was a conflict on one of our dates. We rescheduled for the 3rd time and attended the dinner. It was just us two and her which was a really cool and intimate experience. We were expecting a larger cooking space and dinner area but she was able to make due with her living accommodations. The meal itself was delicious! We were even given our leftovers to take home. Chef Tracy was sweet and provided us with cooking tips throughout the night. It did take the full 3+ hours to complete the whole experience. Unique date night gift for couples looking to add some flavor to their dinner!

I really enjoyed this class and had fun making delicious gumbo! Chef Tracy took time to give us tips on the substitutes that could be used for ingredients in the recipe as well as the history behind gumbo.

Food was good but class was lacking. Connection was bad and couldn’t hear anything about the recipes or what was going on. Printed recipes are solid though!

Chef Tracy is a fantastic teacher! You'll learn far beyond the recipe as she shares nutrition information about the food.

The class was great for the portion that I watched. I repeatedly checked the time in e-mail and texts and it stated 8:00 Eastern. This was the wrong time and came into the zoom 1 hour late. That was disappointing.

Haven’t gotten the zoom link, spend 200$ on groceries just to wait and not have her respond to any emails. Waiting 30 minutes into the class for her to send a working zoom link. Extremely upset.

Chef Tracy was AMAZING. She answered literally 100 of my questions and was able to manage 2 kitchens doing different techniques. She stayed 1 hour late with us. she gave me many suggestions on how to tailor my food, not to mention she actually taught me how to do correct cooking techniques that I’ve done wrong for years. Learned a lot. Would highly suggest!

Our whole family enjoyed the cooking experience. It was a wonderful, fun family experience to celebrate my husbands 70 Th birthday. Lots of good ideas we’re talked about and Tracy’s knowledge was very helpful for many of the family members. Everyone had a great time from the youngest grandchild to the oldest. The food was fabulous . We hope to do this again.
