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.

This was a Christmas gift for my wife and i tagged along. We baked Gluten-free and Gluten-full rolls, scones and cinnamon rolls. We had a great time. My wife was able to learn from a Professional and we had a great time. We'll definitely do it again in the future. Thanks
