This was such an amazing experience and the food was delicious. I was nervous and intimidated at first and Chef Melissa made everything so easy to learn. I have already made the pot stickers again!

Chef Melissa was a wonderful host! She guided us through the prep and execution of a delicious menu, imparting great culinary tips and background info along the way. We four were engaged and entertained for the entire session. Melissa set a gorgeous table for our feast (and feast we did). She was prepared, organized, and quite funny—the consummate chef/host. What a lovely way to spend a stormy afternoon. I highly recommend this class! You’ll leave content, sated and with a greater knowledge of Asian cuisine no matter your skill level. Chef Melissa is lovely! Lori Barish
