Cooking Class - Traditional French Bistro Favorites

We loved learning how to make an entire French bistro meal with Chef Linda. We also loved her stories and appreciated her patience with our varied skill level. Highly recommend!

Chef Linda was amazing! She is very sweet and knowledgeable. Definitely learned from our class.

Had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

Hello Chef Linda and our cooking and eating experience was amazing!!!! Chef Linda, is so knowledgeable and provided wonderful information to help us understand the what and reason why cooking certain foods!!! Also great stories and humor throughout the evening!!! Our meal was beyond delicious!!! We will be back with Chef Linda and bringing friends to join in a fun evening experience!!!

Linda was exceptional. Not only was she a great chef, she was a wonderful storyteller and teacher. We’ll recommend her to anyone.

Thanks Chef Linda for a tremendous experience! We enjoyed the knowledge and skills your shared with us. The food was outstanding!

We had a great time with Chef Linda! She was very welcoming and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot and had a great time.

Very knowledgeable -- went above and beyond in giving us pertinent information in working with the dishes -- and it was delicious.

Knowledge of cooking was excellent. The food we made was very good. However, if you’re looking for a pleasant experience with uncluttered kitchen or dining table staged for a lovely dinner, this would not be a good choice.

Very enjoyable, it was good to learn in person. Excited to try the new recipes.

Chef Linda was amazing. She made cooking a fantastic meal easy and understandable. The meal itself was amazing and exited to have learned new techniques that I will use again in the future. We will definitely be booking another cooking class with Chef Linda soon. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, and learned a ton about the Spanish cuisine

We had so much fun and the food was delicious!

Very informative about food. Excellent instructor. Taught us things we did not expect to learn.

What a delightful experience with Linda and my Chef mates! Linda’s experience shines as she gives us a food history and with her ability to relate to people with varied cooking experience. I left with great cooking tips, a full belly, and new friends.

This was one of our best experiences! Linda went above and beyond and her food trivia is awesome. I learned more in one night regarding ingredients, knives, how to hold knives , chopping, etc and am grateful for the new knowledge. I would sit in any of her classes again.

What a fun and delicious evening! Chef Linda shared her impressive culinary background as my husband and I learned some new kitchen skills, cooked a wonderful meal and enjoyed a delightful evening. Looking forward to future classes!

We had so much fun, learned a lot about prepping and cooking and about the origins of the food, and best of all, enjoyed one of the best meals we've ever had (and certainly the best we've had a hand in preparing). Best of all, a week later we tried to do it in our own, and using four of the recipes, made a delicious meal all by ourselves.

Chef Linda, the experience, and the meal were all outstanding. Linda shared with us a wealth of experience with food and culture, adding shopping tips, lots of cooking technique instruction, chemistry, and how to make things taste good - really good. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a truly delicious meal, that we helped create. 5 stars plus.

I appreciated the food history lesson related to our meal as well as the cooking instruction. I learned a lot, met some new people, and enjoyed a delicious meal. It was a great experience.

Chef Linda offered an evening that was educational with regards to the background of our food, techniques for its preparation, and a collaborative process for all participants. I highly recommend it.

An evening with Chef Linda was the perfect birthday dinner experience! She's a true artisan that blends her culinary knowledge and teaching experiences into an incredible evening. She's a positive force who keeps the abilities of a home cook in mind as she teaches how to translate complex flavors into the real world so that anyone can replicate the evening's recipes. We highly recommend!!

Cooking with Chef Linda was fantastic. We are all relatively experienced home cooks but learned so much about ingredients and cooking techniques. We all left with pages of notes and ideas. She is a wonderful teacher and so knowledgeable. The food was so delicious! The experience far exceeded our expectations.

Wonderful anniversary dinner. Chef Linda was great .

Thank you, Linda for a lovely afternoon packed with useful instruction. Thank you, for opening your home!

Linda was very informative and let us really get in there and get our hands dirty in a fun way! Highly recommend!!!!

The class went beyond our expectations. Linda is a wealth of knowledge when is come to food, cooking and "food archaeology". She was happy to share her love of food and cooking with us. I am looking forward to taking additional classes with Linda.

We had a great time and learned a lot about southwestern food. Thanks again Linda!

Good morning, Our time with Chef Linda was amazing! From start to finish we learned so much we never knew. From the salting, to the type breads, type ingredients, and the taste. Oh goodness the taste! So yummy! She is an fantastic chef. I would recommend her to everyone. 5 star rating ? ? ? ? ? Jason

Chef Linda is super knowledgeable and goes the extra mile with her teaching. We had a great experience overall, and we learned not just how to make pasta but how to be better at cooking in general. We'd recommend her highly and will probably return in the future!

Chef Linda was terrific - a great teacher, knowledgeable about many aspects of food and cooking. We learned a ton and had a wonderful time. And the food was delicious!

We had an awesome time, the food was fantastic and Chef Linda showed us so many tips and tricks in the kitchen. Will look up other classes she offers

We had a great time with Chef Linda. We learned so many new cooking tricks and techniques! The food was also amazing!

Chef Linda is full of clever tips in the kitchen, patient, professional, friendly. The meal was absolutely delicious and we all came away with new skills as well! thank you Chef Linda! (we gave her cash tip at time of service)

I bought this for my parents and they had an amazing experience! They will definitely be back for more classes.

This was a great class! The recipes were unique and delicious. Chef Linda is very knowledgeable and had several great tips and tricks. My only suggestion would be to start the class earlier- we didn’t finish almost 10pm. I would attend another class though- it was fun and engaging.

This menu was so delicious and Chef Linda has a great deal of information about the history of food related to what we cooked. We made our own pasta and I learned a lot of great cooking tips! Know I can do fresh garlic quickly and do a pomegranate in less time!!

Our second cooking and learning evening with Chef Linda. . .what a delight. It is clear how much she loves what she does. Each element of the meal is brought together with care and attention to the cooking method at hand and a desire that we be able to replicate what she is teaching. It's fun having a local chef of this quality with whom we can spend an enriching, interesting evening.

Informative, interesting and educational. . .we thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class experience with Chef Linda. She has a flare for understanding how to combine unusual flavors to create a masterpiece for the tastebuds.

She explained everything wonderfully, and we had a great time.

Very knowledgeable friendly plenty of juicy extra tips!

I recently had the pleasure of attending Chef Linda's Mexican food cooking class, and it was an absolute delight! Chef Linda's extensive knowledge and clever kitchen hacks truly impressed me. The Queso Fundido with Poblano Vinaigrette was a culinary masterpiece; the flavors were incredibly delicious and blended perfectly. Equally impressive was the Corn and Poblano Lasagna, which left me craving for more. Apart from the scrumptious dishes, what made the experience even more enjoyable was the comfortable and welcoming setting of Chef Linda's home kitchen. The cozy ambiance made it feel like I was cooking among friends. And speaking of friends, I must mention the adorable feline companions who added an extra touch of warmth to the atmosphere. Meeting Chef Linda's cats was a delightful bonus to an already fantastic experience. Overall, I can't praise Chef Linda enough for her culinary expertise, her creative kitchen hacks, and her ability to create a cozy and inviting cooking environment. Attending her Mexican food cooking class was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their culinary skills while savoring incredible flavors.

Wonderful insights into Southwest cooking and flavors. Wow, everything we made was a flavor bomb. Chef Linda has very tasty recipes and great tips for preping ingredients. I learned a lot and the meal was absolutely delicious! She is a skill chef and food educator. Would love to do more classes with her.

Fabulous meal and food factoids. A wealth of information and super tasty!

We chose the New Orleans meal and it did not disappoint our tastebuds. Chef Linda had a fabulous knowledge of the NOLA area including the history of the people and the food. She welcomed us into her beautiful home and we worked side by side in her kitchen (all ingredients, Utensils and cookware provided) and learned new tips and techniques while making a wonderfully aromatic and delicious four course meal. We ate as we cooked and had enough for leftovers!! Linda was warm and friendly and funny. I'd highly recommend this experience. When I'm back in Tucson next year, I'll definitely book another cooking lesson!

We had a wonderful evening with Chef Linda! We learned a lot, gained some very practical and useful skills and the food was outstanding! Five stars all around!

A fun experience learning about the food used in the class as well as cooking, knife and seasoning techniques. Highly recommend it.

Ten stars! Not only was the food delicious, but Linda was a great host and very knowledgeable about food and regaled us with tons of information and was great company as we ate. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and she was super gracious and flexible to make it work out for us.

This was more than just cooking food. Linda spent considerable time sharing her vast knowledge and use of the different ingredients that went into our meal. She also gave us tips and showed us ways that will make us better cooks no matter what we might be cooking. A superb evening! Thanks Linda.

Linda is great! We had a lesson in chiles- fresh and dried- before we got cooking. She kept us engaged and on track. We learned about the effect of salt on flavors… and those flavors were delicious!!

Chef Linda was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and communicative! She taught us so many aspects of food and cooking in this class.

Chef Linda’s knowledge, experience, patience, and understanding were amazing and much appreciated—and the dinner we created was fantastic. I especially enjoyed learning about the “why” behind the “what,” which will provide context to future culinary creations and choices.

We had a delicious meal and a wonderful time, and learned a lot about chiles!

Excellent class, we learned so much. Thank you for hosting us!

We learned so much! Linda was amazing. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Beyond excellent! Linda was wonderful in her food knowledge of history, techniques, and flavoring. The experience was relaxed, engaging, and enjoyable. Even those in our group who had no interest in food and cooking willingly participated. Curiosities and questions were answered. Linda maintained composure as we really made a kitchen mess….but it was well worth it. Thank you Linda!

Linda was terrific. Learned a lot, had a great meal, enjoyed the evening!

Linda was an amazing host, chef, and instructor! Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and the tips and tricks that she showed to us were all so impressive and the entire evening was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!

Linda was amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the history of the foods we prepared. It was a hands-on class and I learned several very useful tips. And you certainly don't go away hungry! We attended the Southwest cooking class - the chili rellenos was delicious and we learned a new way to prepare it. The beans, salad, guacamole and elote were awesome. Can't recommend the class high enough. You won't be disappointed.

We had a fabulous meal and a lot of fun learning and sharing the cooking experience. Chef Linda is very interesting and her ability to educate and demonstrate different techniques of preparation, along with giving us a history of the foods and spices is an added value. Delicious meal!

Our experience with Chef Linda was outstanding! We learned some great techniques and the food was outstanding. We will not hesitate to sign up for another class with Chef Linda next time we are in Tucson!

Chef Linda was outstanding. It was my boyfriends birthday and she went above and beyond my expectations. She has extensive knowledge of the history of food, knife techniques and more! Her home is beautiful, clean, and her kitchen/utensils are top notch! Our family will be doing another class with her!

Chef Linda was very accommodating and has a lot of knowledge to share, Me and my partner had a great time learning how to make New Orleans cuisine with her.

It was a beautiful evening. We learned so much while having such a wonderful time. Thank you

This was a great way to share the evening with friends. Linda was great guiding us through each recipe.
