I attended the "Handmade Soups" cooking class with Chef Elham and both the evening and Chef Elham were outstanding - what a great way to spend an evening! Chef Elham was very welcoming and provided a wonderful space in her kitchen set up with cooking stations well-organized with all ingredients and tools needed for each recipe. She was very informative and knowledgeable, taught us various techniques we would be using and then guided us through preparing our various soups. Once completed, we all sat down together and enjoyed each other's company and creations. And the soups ... each one was AMAZING!!!! Thank you, Chef Elham!

In addition to showing us how to prepare delicious meals, Chef Elham took time to answer all of our questions & provided suggestions, tips & tricks. Thank you Chef!

Would highly recommend attending one of Chef Elham's classes. We had a great time, learned new recipes and techniques, and tasted delicious food! Chef Elham is very professional and organized (had stations all set up and prepared for each recipe), all while making you feel comfortable no matter what your experience. We all look forward to taking another class again soon!

Chef Elham was really well-organized and generous with her advice, even about cooking techniques that weren't explicitly related to the class. (For example, she gave really good tips on knife skills, pans to use, and other tips). I was impressed that the class got to do and learn so much.

Chef Elham exceeded all expectations for our first time experience. She was kind, patient, and happy to talk about about more than just what was on her menu. This was a birthday gift for my niece and she said it was “one of the best birthday gifts she ever had”.

My family loves Chef Elham. She is an experienced and great chef that we got to work on our dishes all by ourselves with her close supervision. Love it! Having the dinner at her beautiful backyard was really a treat for us!!!

Chef Elham's Sushi Class was fantastic! She kindly invited us to her home and prepared everything needed for the various sushi. Gave us great guidance to make delicious sushi. Very enjoyable and comfortable experience that felt like going over to a friend's house and prepping a dinner together.

Chef Elham was so wonderful to work with! We didn't know too much about cooking but she made sure we were comfortable and relaxed in here. She made the whole experience light and fun! I definitely would go back again!

The teacher was nice but the class was not at all what I expected. All items we used were premade we did make anything from scratch. The class description was mis-leading. I was expecting to learn at least how to make dessert sauces. The materials provided were low quality. One of the desserts offered to be used was a pudding snack pack. I was extremely disappointed the presentation and lesson was a 5 min discussion. Not worth the 85.00. I was interested in talking more classes but now I feel mislead and not sure if the class description is true to my explanation. I also invited two friends and I few bad and embarrassed that they were invited to a bad experience. My friend even ask the chef to show her something and was dismissed by our instructor. The instructor response was just cut the cake and layer. For the price we paid I think she could of showed her student how the layer a truffle. This class was elementary level something for a classroom project.

She was great! We had a lot of fun learning how to make sushi. It was so nice of her to do the dishes afterwards too!

Chef Elham taught us some very delicious dishes. Now I know how to make thinner crepes and the Grand Marneir souffle is the best I've had, better than the one I got from a restaurant. Everything was good and we had a great time.

Chef Elham is a very nice lady! I definitely feel a lot more confident making sushi now, but I feel the class could have been a bit more strategical and organized. It was hard to move around in the space to get to some needed items. I also was a bit overloaded with all of the demos being completed at once and trying to remember everything once it was our turn. I could have taken notes though as I understand this is typical for a cooking class. We got to meet her dog who is wonderful, but he was barking for a long time in the back room and even though she was very apologetic, I couldn't help but still be irritated by it. I know it was only her 3rd class so I'm sure there will be much improvement as she continues her teaching endeavors.

I participated in this class with my daughter as a birthday gift for her. We had a great time, learned several great tips, ate way too much sushi, met people from all over the world, and left with recipes and a few gifts. I would definitely recommend this experience.

My 12 year old daughter and I took the Taste of Thailand class with Chef Elham and had a great time. She was able to make dietary modifications for us, and she presented information in a manner appropriate for both a preteen and an adult. She included my daughter in all aspects of the experience. We definitely plan to take another of her classes!

Chef Elham has a gorgeous home and it was a great place for a cooking class. She has been teaching for sixteen years and has a wide range of styles and expertise to pull from. I loved her version of souffle which also was much easier to make than I had previously thought. I’d love to take another class from her.
