Chef Ashley's passion for cooking and wanting to unite people through food truly shows in her dishes. She is enjoyable to learn from and has so much to share. She also stands out from other chefs since she has formal training and pastry and chocolates. I highly recommend her if you are in the area.

It is clear that Ashley puts her heart and soul into her creations. Her attention to quality is unmatched. Her passion for ethical sourcing, processing, and preparation shows through in her final products. No exaggeration, every dish/confection I have tried of hers is literally the best I've ever had. Most importantly, Ashley is the sweetest and such an amazing teacher! I highly recommend working with Ashley for anything!

Let me start off by saying this is not your basic Hershey chocolate! Ashley's chocolate truffle class is a one of a kind experience that results in a rich exquisite taste in your mouth. It is obvious that she is extremely knowledgeable in the process of producing chocolate and how the beans are grown.
