I’d give six stars for Sarah’s class if possible! She is really very didactic, organized, detailed, explains everything with clarity and useful knowledge (eg, tomato sauce from a special region in Italy, tips for caponata, amazing salad sauce, etc), and very empathetic. She demonstrated what to do and gave me plenty freedom to also prepare the meals with a hands-on approach, which was simply great for learning by doing. For sure I’ll prepare the recipes at home and I’m kneen to do so. She served the meals on a nice table, and she provided me with a box with such amazing leftovers. Everything was delicious! I was looking for a vegetarian cooking class and this was perfect. It would be great if Sarah could provide more great vegetarian options such as this one!

Sarah was great! She talked about the ingredients in detail, both from just a culinary enjoyment perspective and an ingredient perspective for using in your own cooking. All of the food was fabulous and she was a great host, making conversation and managing the cooking while incorporating us into the entire process. I would sign up for another one of her classes in a heartbeat.

Chef Sarah showed me how to cook seared broccolini with a homemade tahini sauce, and toasted pine nuts. She was knowledgeable and clearly talked through each step of this recipe. The fine presentation looked professional and colorful. She was also very friendly and made me feel welcome and comfortable.

I just had very excellent results with Sarah. I had tried many others over a several year period and none could compare with Sarah's skill and knowledge. She is easy to converse with and was quite adaptable to my needs. I am pretty picky about cleanliness and she was great with that. Oh, yes, tasty dishes too!
