The girls made bruschetta, gnocchi & tiramisu. We booked Chef Janet for my daughter’s 16th birthday party. Chef Janet worked really well with the girls and they enjoyed learning from her. My daughter loved the whole evening making her favorite meal with her closest friends, she didn’t have one favorite moment.
