Chef Giselle was amazing. She made learning fun and easy. She was so well prepared, had great energy, we now know how to make homemade pasta! Would highly recommend Chef Giselle!

My brother and I took this class to learn how to make pasta, and Chef Giselle was an excellent teacher. She was very personable and informative, and gave us lots of handy tips along the way -like kneading the dough with one hand so one is kept clean and free. My brother has a lactose intolerance and she was very accommodating with the menu. The pasta with tomato and basil sauce was delicious - melt in your mouth good! We also loved the antipasto and the zabaglione to start and finish. We’d highly recommend Chef Giselle as a cooking instructor!

Chef Giselle helped us make a wonderful Fettuccini Alfredo from scratch! She was so sweet and supportive and knowledgeable of the cuisine. The custom dessert she made for us was also divine. We will certainly book her again!

I hired Giselle for a few work parties and she was exceptional! She's a highly skilled chef who brings creativity, consistency, and great flavour to every dish. Each plate is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully executed, and shows a refined attention to detail. Her passion for food is evident, creating meals that feel both comforting and elevated. Using fresh ingredients and expert technique, they consistently deliver memorable dining experiences. A truly amazing chef who stands out every time. Cant recommend her enough!!

Chef Giselle has cooked for me on several occasions, including an intimate private dinner and my birthday celebration for 60 guests. Like a finely tuned orchestra, her menus were beautifully composed, impeccable in presentation, and unforgettable flavours. There is a clarity, a harmony, and confidence in her cooking that immediately stands out. My guests and I were blown away and captivated by the array, balance, and beauty of the dishes. Her lamb chops are, without question, the best I have ever had—perfectly cooked and deeply flavorful—and the roasted pepper soup was extraordinary, elegant yet comforting. Beyond technique and presentation, what truly sets her apart is something harder to define: a palpable sense of care and love in every dish. Love, Che Giselle, secret, unspoken ingredient that elevates her food from excellent to memorable to divine. Chef Giselle delivers outstanding cuisine with love, precision, soul, and true artistry.

We made a beautiful vodka sauce pasta and, perhaps more importantly, had a beautiful evening. Chef Giselle is passionate about cooking, connection and making people happy. It was a complete pleasure welcoming her into our home, learning from her and learning about her. She cooks with love and that shines in her food. Would recommend her to anyone!! Thank you chef Giselle. Ben + Hannah
