Chef Mona is an excellent teacher and chef, my wife and i spent a lovely evening with her learning how to cook Peruvian food. Her diverse culinary knowledge and experience made for interesting conversation and a relaxed learning atmosphere. Definitely would revisit.

What a wonderfully fun experience! The ladies and I have been cooking for over 30 years and Chief Mona taught us so much. She was such a delight. We all wanted to take her home with us! The food was delicious and the gravy was to die for.

Chef Mona is awesome! She was an absolute pleasure and a fantastic chef. From the moment I called to inquire about her services, she was very helpful and patient in helping me decide what meal I wanted her to instruct my 3 girlfriends and I on (one of my girlfriends is gluten intolerant, one does not like seafood, and I am currently eating keto so I was certain there would be some issues, but Chef Mona quickly came up with a meal all 4 of us loved!) She arrived at my home with all the ingredients needed and was very informative, professional and overall lovely the entire time. I would definitely recommend her services to everyone! I have already scheduled another session with her to teach my nieces how to make a pasta dish and flan. If she can teach me, she can teach anyone!
