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."

We attended the French Bistro prime rib dinner with Chef Erin. She was extremely knowlegeable and delightful. We would definitely do it again. There were a couple of concerns, however. With 12 people attending it was difficult for Erin to field all the questions and keep on track. Additionally, the noise from the overhead fans while grilling the steaks made it difficult to hear her. We would prefer a smaller, more intimate group.

Sarah was such a skilled and chef and host. We loved the food and really appreciated the insights on cooking she provided during the preparation. Would 100% recommend!
