What a great experience and great fun for a date night. Chef Emily was an amazing host and teacher for the New England Coastal Cuisine class. It was all hands on and you get to eat what you prepare! My boyfriend and I both loved it and will definitely do it again.

For Christmas, I gave a coupon to my mom and stepdad for Chef Emily's vegan cooking class and did they absolutely enjoy it!!! My mom and stepdad are slowly going vegan/incorporating vegan meals during their week and said that Chef Emily was so insightful, energetic, and fun to learn from. It's been over 2 weeks since they've taken the class and I'm still hearing stories and techniques they learned from the class. They said it was easy to follow along and people at all levels of cooking would enjoy!

Emily went above and beyond. She was more than amazing. She accommodated to my dietary needs on a whim and made the experience better than I could have ever imagined. I’d suggest her to everyone I know. Pittsburgh is lucky to have such a talented chef and kind soul in the area.
