Wonderful experience from start to finish. Chef Myisha's home is warm and welcoming. She is an excellent instructor plus an amazing chef. Her marinara sauce with extra garlic blew my mind. We learned how to create linguini noodles from scratch then ate the freshly made noodles with her wonderful, healthy (contained collard greens) pasta sauce. She also made a Panzanella salad and a smoked cream cheese tiramisu. WOW.
We highly recommend this class or any other class she teaches. She is patient, kind and makes you feel like a real chef. She also does pop up around the city of which we can't wait to catch one to eat her marvelous food again.
Gratuity may be left with her in her home.

Chef Myisha combines culinary knowledge with a sparkling personality to create the perfect cooking class experience. She taught the basics while also updating dishes with a fun twist. She walked me through the steps effortlessly, with easy to understand instructions and helpful tips and tricks. It was important to me that I learn recipes that I could recreate later on and her class delivered. Can't wait to book another class or meal with Chef Myisha!

Chef Myisha made the focal point my Thanksgiving dinner a real success . Turkey is one of those things that more times than not, the breast turns out dry and tasteless. Not any more! Chef Myisha taught me how to prepare a turkey that's flavorful, tender and succulent, even the breast! Her instructions were clear, precise and easy to follow. I'll be sure to refer to her any time I want to learn how to make new dish or improve on old favorites.

Chef Mia was excellent, kind, creative and of course made dishes I didn't even knew they existed! My wife and son loved her work as well. Chef Mia is very humble too, it was after injured her that I googled who she is, that I discovered she's also a celebrity chef. In addition to creating incredible dishes, she was extremely professional, prompt and fun!
I hope you go for Chef Mia for your next event. I'm very happy I did!!
