I've been looking for a tempering class for a long time. Chef Maggie was amazing: personable, knowledgeable, experienced and patient. We never felt hurried. In fact, quite the opposite, she encouraged all of us to be patient and let time do its job. And, all of the bon bons were shiny and delicious. Thank you. Highly recommend."

Our group of nine enjoyed the evening very much. It was great to sit down and relax after a long business meeting. The food was delicious! It was a great time of interaction with each other.
