Chef Jackie

Personable, great instruction and practical application. Terrific recipes in a nurturing environment. Oh, and did I mention delicious?! I may even get her cookbook!

We very much enjoyed Chef Jackie's Lebanese cooking class. She customized the menu for us (presumably possible only because the two of us were the only students that day). She is a warm, welcoming host, and the food was tasty. Making the food was a lot of fun and we very much enjoyed the meal at the end. The recipes are good, but if you are an interested cook willing to experiment, you can find good recipes for anything on the internet. So, though our meal was delicious, what we appreciated even more was Chef Jackie's instruction in broader aspects of cooking. She will, for example, correct your knife technique, showing you the best way to hold and use a chef's knife, and giving you chances to repeat newly-learned motions. She's been a teacher for years, and it shows. We'll put the skills we learned to use in daily life. This was an excellent experience all around.

Jackie was super knowledgeable and overall was a super fun experience! Thank you chef Jackie - will be making that beet hummus again

Jackie was super knowledgeable and delightful. Loved the plant-based menu and her generosity with tips and tricks. Great way to spend a winter Sunday. Food was delish!!!

This was a great class. We made delicious food and learned great recipes and new cooking skills. Chef Jackie is very patient and accommodating and has a joyful attitude toward cooking that makes for a comfortable, collaborative atmosphere.

The Chef is very nice. She really has lots of knowledge and experience.
