Chef Barbara is very personable and knowledgeable. She guided us through the cooking and helped us produce a great meal, all the while keeping up great conversation, and giving us lots of good cooking tips. She has a great kitchen and house, and is very welcoming. All-in-all, a great experience, and we'll definitely have to do it again.

Great experience!!! list meeting a long-time friend... and learning something at the same time. I will definitely cooking this meal for my family!! simple to make and fancy-looking - my kind of cooking!! We only brought one bottle of wine, which we finished while cooking, so Barbara brought out her own bottle when we sat down to enjoy the food. Awesome host!!

Chef Barbara was amazing! Thank you for such a wonderful night. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I'd never taken a cooking class before. I got this as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend and it was WONDERFUL! Chef Barbara was thoughtful and patient and wonderfully prepared. We both had some dietary restrictions that she went above and beyond to accommodate and it was a joy spending a night cooking in her home! Definitely would recommend this to anyone!
