Chef Erin was a pleasure to have in our home. She taught us that making exquisite dishes such as homemade pasta and tiramisu are not as intimidating as they seem. She made our first anniversary special and went the extra mile and took photos of us in the process so we can look back on the memories we made. We would love to cook with her again!
