We had a great time at this class. Chef Tess was very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. We are pretty beginner-level, but she gave a mix of tips for beginners and for more advanced chefs. She was also a lot of fun to work with - telling funny stories and jokes and helping the whole group stay engaged. All of the food was delicious, and she provided all of the recipes so that we can make everything at home. We would take a class with her again. :)

Chef Tess was so awesome! We loved how casually she dropped her knowledge and expertise while making the whole experience fun and incredibly delicious! She’s great, 10/10 would 1000% recommend
