Our experience with Chef Shelley was amazing! She was patient, knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. We did the Seafood Lovers Spread and it was delicious. One of my favorite parts of class was learning how to make shortbread from scratch using a few of Chef's baking techniques. I highly recommend booking a class with Chef Shelley <3

Chef Shelley invited us into her home and made us feel instantly welcomed! Her experiences as a chef and desire to have you actually learn (whether by doing or observing) made cooking with her so much fun. On top of all that, the food is among the best you’ll ever have and it’s all thanks to her guiding hand. 10/10, 5 stars, two thumbs way up. Will go again and highly recommend Chef Shelley to anyone who wants a delicious and entertaining night.

CHEF SHELLEY IS AMAZING. My boyfriend and I took a class with Chef and it was the most unique experience. The class is so fun and you can take it at your own pace. You can be 100% involved or just hang out with Shelley while she talks about her expertise and makes you laugh. The food is delicious, the preparation is fun and you feel like you’re at home. This is a one of kind experience that I think everyone should have. I will be telling everyone I know about this experience and hope to make food again soon with Chef Shelley. (This is also the only online review I’ve left in my life, so you know it’s a seriously good experience) Please book this class for a group of friends you will not regret it!!!

Chef Shelley hosted the most wonderful cooking class for my boyfriend and I, and another couple. She has the most vivacious, bubbly personality that immediately makes you feel welcomed in her home. She gave us practical advice on how to cook these dishes at home and gave us the confidence to replicate the meal (as well as other meals) using the skills she taught us. I would recommend this class to anyone regardless of their level of cooking skills, as this was simply a blast! Will definitely be coming back in the future!

Chef Shelly was amazing and so welcoming. My boyfriend and I enjoyed every single dish we prepared. She was so much fun and easy to talk to I felt right at home. The food was to die for we couldn’t stop eating it. I had never seen my boyfriend eat so much at once. We were left speechless with every single bite. I will definitely be coming back. We love you MomDukes!

We loved our New Orleans Style Brunch with Chef Shelley! She was very welcoming and friendly from the second we arrived. Our conversations were nothing but lively and fun. We also learned quite a few new cooking techniques and the food was incredible. We will definitely do another class and will be sure to recommend her to our family and friends! Thanks Chef Shelley for a great night!

Chef Shelley is THE best! She made my first experience with a cooking class one to remember! Her knowledge and presence really made the evening. My date and I decided to try the “Seafood Lover’s Spread” everything was fresh and delicious, the shrimp scampi with the squash noodles was my favorite. The fresh mussels and clams were also great! We were so full from the first course so we had to pack up the second course to go. The drop biscuits we made for dessert were divine. The intimate setting gave my date and I an opportunity to talk amongst ourselves and still engage with the chef. Overall the atmosphere, the host/chef and her amazing energy made my night. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to do something outside their comfort zone, I promise you will enjoy!

We had a great time with Chef Shelley! She is very personable and knowledgeable and makes you feel like you are a pro. The food we made was amazing, and I look forward to duplicating the recipe. It was a great experience all around. My husband enjoyed himself and it was a great date idea. You won’t regret booking with Chef Shelley.

Chef Shelley and her friend West were gracious and fun. We had a fabulous time and the food was delicious. Intimate setting in a lovely apartment. Wish we had gotten to do some more of the cooking as we thought it was a cooking class. However, it was a wonderful experience and we would recommend Chef Shelley to others. Thank you Chef Shelley and West for a great evening!

I booked chef Shelley for my best friend's birthday and it was one of the best gifts I could have given her. We enjoyed and loved the whole experience. The place was nicely decorated and the cooking experience was outstanding. We did not want the day to come to an end. We enjoyed every second of it. I would definitely book chef Shelley again and again and again...?

On Valentine's day, chef Shelley and host West gave us an experience to remember. Upon entry , we we were welcomed with great excitement. The host welcomed us in to her own home making us feel very comfortable. The chef introduced herself and began describing the agenda for the menu. The chef spent her time informing us of the culture behind the food that we were going to cook which made it much more engaging and intimate. Chef Shelley did an awesome job with helping us prep the meal; along with teaching us some of her unique techniques. This was a great experience and we definitely recommend for couples who are looking for an intimate , warm welcoming and enlightening class.
