Wow! Wow! Wow! Is there anything this chef can't do?? Chef Ja'Nel is absolutely amazing and her food is out of this world scrumptious! She is a natural born teacher and takes time to make your sessions personalized and most of all fun. Pour up a glass of wine and let the laughs begin. You should take advantage and schedule a class while you can. She is truly gifted and I bet she will be completely booked soon. Best food ever!! Thank you so much for the tasty and delicious food!
