Chef Luana provided helpful, clear demonstrations and descriptions of how to cook delicious Italian foods with basic, but excellent, ingredients for a meal that combined delicious, inventive flavor combinations. She helped us understand the keys to producing such a meal in ways that gave us confidence we could also succeed at such cooking. Thank you Chef Luana!

I took the class “Food that Empowers Your Mind” with my two colleagues for a team bonding experience and we had a fantastic time! The food was fresh, delicious, and we learned valuable tips for making risotto. Chef Luana was a joy to be around. She has so much knowledge to share about cooking and it inspired me to spend more time cooking at home because it can taste better and be better for you than ordering out. We work at an environmental nonprofit and I appreciated the sustainability aspect of it as well. No plastic water bottles, she gave us each water glasses and had a water cooler, we each got our own hand towel for the bathroom, and the food is bought in larger quantities. I recommend Chef Luana to anyone wanting to learn or be inspired to cook more, and it’s a great unique opportunity for work/family/friend events.
