WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT EXPERIENCES WITH CHEF JACKIE IN LOS ANGELES

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.

Melissa S. May, 2026

Booked the class Modern Plant-Based Favorites with Chef Jackie in Marina del Rey

Loved this class! Learned some knife skills in addition to some delicious plant based recipes. Highly recommend this class to anyone who eats plant based or wants to eat more plant based.

Margaret Perrone . March, 2026

Booked the class Mediterranean Plant-Based Dishes with Chef Jackie in Marina del Rey

Great class. Thank you so much! All my questions answered, even when they didn't have anything to do with the recipes. Intimate setting was really nice, very personal. Food was delicious, and it gave me some new ideas for expanding on what we made. Chef Jackie is an excellent teacher.

Marena D. January, 2026

Booked the class Modern Plant-Based Favorites with Chef Jackie in Marina del Rey

This class was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about vegan cooking. Every recipe was thoughtfully designed, easy to follow, and absolutely delicious. I loved how the class focused not just on recipes, but on why ingredients work together, how to build flavor without animal products, and how to make meals that are both nourishing and satisfying. The atmosphere was welcoming, fun, and encouraging, making it easy to ask questions and try new techniques without feeling intimidated. I walked away inspired, confident, and excited to recreate everything at home.

Mark & Molly R. February, 2024

Booked the class Lebanese Plant-Based Feast with Chef Jackie in Marina del Rey

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.
