Vanessa was a wonderful chef to learn from! She is very experienced in different cuisines and she is very personable and accommodating. I requested some dietary changes for my experience, and they were welcomed quite well- I learned lots of new alternatives to some sauces we used. She is open to all questions related to cooking, and has a very fun and kind personality. It was my first time having a cooking class and she made it well worth it.

Chef Vanessa was so welcoming to my partner and I! For the first in person cooking class we did, this was a great experience. She was so accommodating as we usually stick to a vegan diet. I would sign up for a class with Chef Vanessa again!

This was so much fun! I planned this as a surprise date night for my husband and he loved it! Chef Vanessa was so friendly and a great instructor. All 3 dishes we made were so good! We’re excited to make these dishes for our family.

If you want a unique dining experience with one of the nicest hosts in the world, book a meal with Chef Vanessa. Chef is pleasant, knowledgeable, grounded and funny. The food was delicious,. the night was well planned and laid out, with flawless and effortless execution. I appreciated Chefs use of authentic north african spices, i guarantee you will learn a thing or two. From the local sourcing to the simple prep and execution, coupled with fun conversations it is an experience you can brag about.

Vanessa was incredibly warm and inviting, creating a really cozy experience for me and my girlfriend. She taught us the steps to make an amazing meal, and even manipulated her menu to accommodate a vegetarian meal. Make sure you bring Tupperware and your appetite as you’ll probably have leftovers! Would certainly recommend Chef Vanessa for anyone interested! Thanks Chef!!

Our experience with Vanessa was amazing! The food was delicious and we were able to take the recipes and extras home with us. Not only did we learn a lot, she was extremely accommodating for us - she altered the recipes & ingredients to work around our allergies and dietary needs.
