Kelly did a great job and created a delightful evening for us and our guests. She was always willing to share and engage with us when we wanted and also faded discretely into the background when the focus of the evening shifted to dinner conversation around the table. One of our guests summed it up perfectly as we finished the meal by saying, "I could definitely do this each night!"

She gave wonderful tips and advice for the preparation, cooking and presentation of the food.

Kelly was knowledgeable for sure, but it takes more to instruct students- especially a group of strangers. Kelly, welcomed us into her home, made everyone feel comfortable, was organized and prepared for all the different steps, and was joyful the entire time. I hope to learn more from her in the future.

The homemade pasta workshop with Chef Kelly was better than I could have even imagined! She made my fiancé and I feel right at home from the second we arrived. Everything was very well organized and the atmosphere was so fun and relaxed. Chef Kelly explains everything so well and gives enough examples and provides the perfect amount of help to make everything just right. The meal we got to eat in the end was so delicious! It was my fiancé’s birthday and Chef Kelly was so kind to provide a little chocolate cake with a candle. I would recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, great cooking lesson! I feel like we left with not only full stomachs but also a new friend :)

Cooking with Kelly was a fabulous experience! She does a wonderful job of explaining all that you need to feel like a professional chef. She is welcoming, talented, personable, and very encouraging! Her home is beautiful, and she has everything set up to create a cozy atmosphere. Her recipes were spectacular as well! Everything tasted delicious...we will certainly be purchasing a pasta maker to keep practicing all that she taught us. We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our wedding anniversary with this perfect date night. We 10/10 would recommend, and we can't wait to try out some of her other classes in the future!

Chef Kelly’s peach pancakes with candied bacon were sublime! She should patent whatever magic that helped her create such perfectly fluffy pancakes with just the right balance of sweet and salty smokiness. These pancakes are honestly one of the top 10 brunch foods I’ve ever eaten.

Mofongo & Shrimp!!!! Amazing!! Those fried Mashed platanos were EVERYTHING. Texture on point and seasoned to perfection ?Now let’s talk about the shrimp. Wow, I can still taste it. The sauce was magical!! Just right, not too sweet not too acidy. I ordered for a large party and the dish was memorable, it was the first tray gone. Perfect for lunch or dinner. Do you like the way that sounds? Try it and you can thank me later ?

I ordered the Mac & Cheese and stuffing for Thanksgiving. The Mac and cheese was a delightful. It was the perfect blend of spices and cheese. One of the best Mac & cheeses I’ve had, now the stuffing was another story. It was perfection. It was fresh and savory. Definitely not made out of a box. I highly recommend trying either and no need to wait for Thanksgiving.
