Professional, thorough and knowledgeable, we had a great time preparing our meal with Laura. The food was delicious and her kitchen was spotless with breathtaking views on a valley. I highly recommend Laura for your next cooking class!

We had such an amazing experience with Marty! She is not only so knowledgeable but also so accommodating. My girlfriend and I learned so much about the history of Italy and how to prepare and cook their amazing food. We could not recommend Marty enough!

We had ShaSha over to our home to teach my daughter and her friend how to make fresh homemade pasta and panna cotta. The girls loved learning the tips and tricks ShaSha included with her lessons that I know they will remember as they venture onto cooking for from-scratch dishes. ShaSha was lovely and personable and we'd definitely work with her again. And we can't forget the food - so incredible delicious!

My husband received this fantastic experience for a birthday gift from our daughter. Chef ShaSha is passionate about cooking and teaching. She is very personable and made the experience a lot of fun. The food we cooked was made with only quality ingredients and was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this experience with Chef ShaSha for any occasion!
