Exceptional meal from start to finish! Sarah was so nice and spaced out the meal so we could eat separately while we watched our newborn. Highly recommend the New American Fusion meal.

This class was so much fun. Sarah was a patient and good teacher. The recipes were delicious and she took some of our skepticism in stride and didn’t gloat when she was right! Definitely going to take another class soon.

Such a great experience and delicious food! Sarah was an amazing teacher and host and did an awesome job of guiding us though the recipes. She patiently explained various aspects of how to perform different steps, why they were being done that way, and tips and tricks to use in our own kitchen. Will definitely be taking one of her classes again!

Chef Sarah is fantastic. We had so much fun in our Traditional Indian Delights class. Food was absolutely phenomenal, but the experience itself was so much fun. Everything was set up when we arrived, balancing convince and learning. She was super easy to talk to and full of cooking knowledge. It was very laid back and we had a great time. I would definitely recommend Chef Sarah.

I’d give six stars for Sarah’s class if possible! She is really very didactic, organized, detailed, explains everything with clarity and useful knowledge (eg, tomato sauce from a special region in Italy, tips for caponata, amazing salad sauce, etc), and very empathetic. She demonstrated what to do and gave me plenty freedom to also prepare the meals with a hands-on approach, which was simply great for learning by doing. For sure I’ll prepare the recipes at home and I’m kneen to do so. She served the meals on a nice table, and she provided me with a box with such amazing leftovers. Everything was delicious! I was looking for a vegetarian cooking class and this was perfect. It would be great if Sarah could provide more great vegetarian options such as this one!

Chef Sarah was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and made the instructions easy to understand, showing where we might want to make our own adjustments in the future. She was also very personable and easy to talk to. Menu was delicious, and recipes are not too difficult to want to replicate at home. Very nice date night activity, and you walk away learning a lot.

Sarah was great! She talked about the ingredients in detail, both from just a culinary enjoyment perspective and an ingredient perspective for using in your own cooking. All of the food was fabulous and she was a great host, making conversation and managing the cooking while incorporating us into the entire process.

I just had very excellent results with Sarah. I had tried many others over a several year period and none could compare with Sarah's skill and knowledge. She is easy to converse with and was quite adaptable to my needs. I am pretty picky about cleanliness and she was great with that. Oh, yes, tasty dishes too!
