While we were late due to technical issues, once we joined Chef Maria made the extra effort to catch us up. Her style was very supportive, patient, and enthusiastic while she walked us through a complicated recipe. We came away with a delicious lemon tart and some great information that we will use in future bakes. I highly recommend Chef Maria’s classes! About the technical issues: for some reason neither Zoom passcode provided would allow us into the meeting. I had to text Chef Maria directly. She replied immediately with another Zoom link that allowed us in.

Chef Maria created a wonderful cooking and learning culinary experience for us! Her confidence and warmth immediately puts you at ease and her love for her craft and food shows in everything she does! She shared several great cooking tips (she's skilled in multiple genres and techniques from baking to knife skills) and answered all our questions along the way. And of course, the food was absolutely delicious!
