This was our second cooking class with Chef Regina and was just as wonderful as the first - full of delicious recipes and helpful tips and tricks for cooking more generally. Great experience all around!

If you are vegan, know someone who is, or just a curious carnivore, then I highly suggest you go with a group and let Chef Regina cook for you! Everything was full of flavor and made with love. You'll get great conversation, insight, and an amazing view of the Chicago skyline from the location. What could be better than that?

This was a fantastic class! Chef Regina is an incredible instructor, and her recipes are exceptional. The "New Orleans Fare Made Vegan" class included crabless cakes that were better than many crab cakes I've eaten, better jambalaya than I got in New Orleans for my honeymoon last month, and the best bread pudding I've ever eaten. (I have never liked bread pudding - until now!) I was thrilled with this class and will definitely seek out additional classes!

Chef Regina is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I literally just finished eating the last of my leftovers now. Also, she is such a great educator! I can easily incorporate the valuable techniques she taught us into my daily cooking! I’m so happy I took her class and met her:-)

Regina was lovely to work with - funny and kind! She was able to make recommendations for changes if someone didn't have the exact right tool, and was great at making sure that everyone was keeping pace and had all their questions answered. We had a great time and the finished product was delicous!

Wonderful experience all around! The food was amazing, Regina was a wonderful host and chef, and the evening was filled with great energy and a warm ambiance. We will definitely use these recipes at home.

A group of four of us attended Chef Regina's cooking class and I must say we were all extremely pleased! Only one from the group was vegan but we all were pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted. She was very thorough in explaining the cooking process, choosing ingredients and even possible substitutions. Her class is a must for any vegans out there or for anyone wanting to try something new! I highly recommend Chef Regina. 5 stars!

We took the New Orleans style vegan class with Chef Regina, who graciously welcomed us into her home. She went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. The food was amazing and we can't wait to try the recipes on our own. We would 100% recommend taking a class with Chef Regina!

Chef Regina’s class exceeded all of my expectations. It was fun, engaging, and she made everything very easy to follow. Most surprising for me - I want to make every single thing we made instead of just one or two things! Absolutely delicious and she made the night a real pleasure! I highly recommend!

Regina opened up the doors to her home and hosted a wonderful event. It was intimate, good people, even better food, good music, good libations, what more can I say! I even had the opportunity to sing with the guitarist that was there, so cool. We sang Christmas songs between snacking and drinking. Listen and listen well, don't miss the next one! You will not be disappointed.

...The food is so delicious! It remains a challenge for chefs to make vegan, gluten free food with intense flavor without sacrificing the very health benefits we choose this diet to gain. Regina's food taste wonderful because she cooks from her Spirit which is radiant with Love and Joy...her food is Yumminess!
