Cooking Class - Contemporary Mediterranean Cuisine - Fridley

The authentic pasta we booked Chef Kindra for was incredible! I’m not really a person who eats pasta, but after having her prepare these amazing dishes, and from scratch, I am now a pasta lover!

Chef Kindra is a master Chef! If someone can pull me out of my African ways of eating, I think that's Magick itself. I hate trying new things, I am from Zimbabwe and I like to stick to what I grew up with, but Chef Kindra made a Mediterranean meal that opened my stubborn eyes to a whole new world.

I booked Chef Kindra for a romantic dinner for my girlfriend so I could propose, and the Chef completely made the experience something we'll never forget! The meal was astonishing, as I had no clue what to even order, she said, "let me handle it", and man did she ever. She lit candles, bought roses, made a romantic playlist, and even took the time to carve out, "MARRY ME" on our pie. Needless to say, she's always at the top of my list for anything we do!

I call her Chef K, she's like my honorary big sister! Her cooking is almost like heaven in your belly; I don't know how she does it, but even a simple Chicken and Wild Rice soup brought tears to my eyes. My girlfriend appreciates the time Chef K took to get to know where her ancestors lived in Italy, and made an authentic pasta from scratch! Who does that!? She's absolutely the best, and I can't wait to book her again.

Chef Kindra makes incredible food! I don't think I've eaten this well in my entire life; and, I've lost weight thanks to her helping me learn to eat food in a healthy way, but to also educate me in where my food comes from and how to seek out alternatives to unhealthy fats. She's awesome!

I love Chef Kindra! She has a personality that's uncanny; she's funny, honest, and just so light. She let me watch her prep, and even gave me some helpful tips while she did so. I thought for sure I was bugging her, but she was so patient and informative. I still cannot cook, but she made me feel like I can try. She set up for us, and made everything look so beautiful and elegant; she took the time to create what she called, "a Zen Vibe" in our dining room area that made everything feel so comfortable and laxed, our party goers didn't want to leave; that was awesome. The food was incredible, she said she was taking us back to Mexico, and she delivered and then some. I have been to Mexico, and I swear it was like I was back there sitting at a 5 star restaurant enjoying an elegant meal with my husband. The fact that she's Hispanic and didn't have the luxury of growing up in Mexico made her food even more impressive. She has this way of making the food so authentic without having any family recipes. She made a comment that, "When you love food as much as I do, you create it from your soul, and your Ancestor's come to assist you!" I definitely appreciate the fact that she took the time to cook food that wasn't too spicy for me personally, or for our guests, but made some spicier options for those who are brave. That meant a lot. I have a birthday coming, and I know who I'll be calling!

WOW! I hired Chef Kindra to surprise my boyfriend for our anniversary, and she superseded my expectations! She showed up early, went straight to work, cleaned our kitchen for us before she even started cooking; she played this music that set my energy ablaze as I cleaned for the party. Once she started cooking the entire house was permeated with scents I never knew could exist. She's not only fun and funny, she was a hoot with all of our guests; she even set the decor on the table and I didn't even tell her the theme, but she instinctively knew and set it perfectly. The food, oh gosh, it was incredible, we had a buffet style Mediterranean meal, and I tell you I ate literally everything. I don't know if she has Greek roots, but she sure as heck took me back with her food. The flavors, the colors, the scents, and the way she set things out so organized; she even made candles for the tables and let us keep them! She's just WOW! Will definitely hire her again, and refer her to all of our guests, and church community.

Chef Kindra is wonderfull! Food is always healthy organic and delicious!! Haven’t had anything that I didn’t like.

I've enjoyed many delicious meals prepared by Chef Kindra. She is a natural in the kitchen, innovative and thoughtful with ingredients, and truly puts love into every single dish! Highly recommended for private catering events or cooking classes!
