Chef Joni was so kind. She made her cooking and journey of becoming a chef very relatable. Her home was lovely and I would have loved to take a class from her. It was very apparent that she is well versed in may genres of cooking. It was very cool to her about her oversea culinary experiences.

I attended Joni's Valentines Cooking dinner and it was so much fun!!! She welcomed us into her home and offered apps before we got started. The food she had us make was skillfully prepared so that we can all do the final touches on each dish. It was so much fun to make all the different parts of the meal with the other attendees. My fiancé wishes I cooked like that EVERY night. Haha The food was all top notch! I can not wait for another Cooking with Joni evening!! A++++++

Delicious Recipe: take 1 cup of knowledge, 1/2 cup of hands on learning, fresh ingredients and an optional glass of wine for a perfect recipe for fun! We made 6 different, simple yet delicious appetizers with Joni's guidance. Her varied courses are sure to appeal to any palate to make your class memorable and truly delicious. A great bargain for a fun evening with old friends, new friends or your family. Sign up early because her groups are intimate with active participation...you will love it!

We did a group cooking class with Joni last week and absolutely loved it! She let us help design the menu we wanted to learn to cook and when we arrived she had everything set up beautifully! The cooking process was a ton of fun and very informative. Joni is an excellent chef and a wonderful teacher! At the end of the cooking portion of our class got to sit down and enjoy our work, which turned out amazing! We can't wait to come back and learn to cook something else!!

We had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy a birthday gathering for a good friend and the treat was cooking with Joni! She shared how to make a number of Asian dishes and we specifically made fresh spring rolls. Joni makes everything seem so easy. She's passionate about food and wine, approachable, gives very clear directions and never makes you feel intimidated at all, especially for those of us who do not cook! It's a real treat to attend a class in her home. You feel as if you're in the kitchen of a Tuscan villa...warm, inviting and spacious. Whether it's a gathering of friends or a one on one class, you'll walk away wanting more! Thanks Joni for a wonderful time! Robin & Bob

I am not comfortable in the kitchen, but aspire to be. I signed up for a knife skills class with Joni, and it was exactly what this aspiring chef needed to start building confidence in the kitchen. Joni is patient, hilarious, welcoming, and knows her stuff. She started at square one, teaching us how to do the basics easily and safely, explaining terminology, explaining what to look for when shopping for the perfect knife, and also taught us what to do with the odds and ends that are left over after a slicing and dicing session to minimize waste. The group (about eight of us) was friendly and we enjoyed some delicious tapas after all of our hard work. Just knowing how to wield my knife more efficiently has made me a more confident cook. I definitely plan on taking another class with Joni!

Spending time in the kitchen with Joni has been such a positive experience. I've attended the Tapas cooking class and the Knives 101 class and I know I'll be attending more. Joni is patient, knowledgeable, and a whole lot of fun! She has a gift for working with people who have different skill levels, which allows her to effortlessly guide them in preparing delicious food. Joni also provides you with material to take home with you so you can easily reference it when you're in your own kitchen. Her passion and flow is immense! Thank you for your expertise, hospitality, and the amazing experiences Joni! I'll back real soon

Chef Joni is fantastic. Lucky enough to have stumbled upon her on a neighborhood blog right when I was looking for a chef who could host my daughter's cooking-themed birthday party. Once Joni and I connected, everything fell into place. Not only did she host a fantastic birthday party at her home for my daughter and 9 of her friends, but we then hired her to be our daughter's personal culinary "trainer" this summer! She's wonderful with kids, has a heart of gold, and is a fabulous chef. She was willing and able to customize Suzy's cooking classes to meet her needs (Suzy intends to audition for Top Chef Junior again this fall, so she had some very specific tricks she wanted to learn!!) Joni has helped Suz make some incredible dishes and learn some valuable skills in the kitchen. Chef Joni has become both a mentor and friend, and we could not be happier that we now have her in our lives. Anyone looking for an at-home cooking class experience with a lovely chef who's super fun -- look no further -- Joni is the right resource for you!

Joni offers amazing cooking classes, along with other types of classes. I took knives 101 & learned how to hold a knife properly, safety tips, different chopping methods and what are the most important tools to have. She was so kind & patient with all of us. After all the chopping a group of strangers ended up breaking bread together & having a magnificent afternoon filled with joy & laughter. I would highly recommend Joni!
