This was an absolutely amazing experience! Chef Melissa is not only a phenomenal chef with an insane amount of experience but she is also wonderfully kind. Luckily for us, the other couple was a no show so we had a one on one lesson. She was so patient, encouraging and hilarious. Prior to the class she checked in and I have a ton of dietary restrictions. She was able to accommodate those and I'm so glad she did! I love that she grows her own herbs. She had us play some fun games and taught us a ton of useful skills. She also makes you feel at ease and her zest and positivity for life in general was contagious. We left incredibly full, with left overs and ear to ear grins. We will absolutely be back for other classes, buy classes with her as gifts and happily refer her to anyone we meet! Thank you for an amazing going away/birthday dinner for Bryan. We can't wait to learn more dishes with you in the future!

Our experience with Chef Melissa is a joy we will forever treasure. She is funny, personable, and a great instructor. We appreciate her welcoming us into her space and providing us with an unparalleled cooking experience. Our time together with the other couple was filled with joy, fun, and a love for learning. I surprised my boyfriend with this class because he loves cooking and is a major foodie. This was such a wonderful gift to him and myself as well! It brought us closer together in a super fun way. The meal came out super delicious and there was plenty left over to take home. Chef Melissa is clearly well versed in her craft as well as a wide variety of other cuisines. She gave us insight in the meal we were preparing and inquired on what foods we liked to cook in our everyday lives to provide us with helpful hints how to edify our meals. We will certainly be booking with her again. Well worth the investment in self and my relationship! I encourage anyone with the slightest curiosity to move forward and take this class! It is a one of a kind experience for sure.
