Angie L.

I bought this as a gift for my brother and his new wife and Chef Laine absolutely knocked this class out of the park for them. She went above and beyond to teach them techniques as well as, show them how to use different things because they are vegetarians. She made my brother's wife feel very comfortable with being in their home (I kept this a complete surprise to them) and was the perfect "host". Not only is she fantastic, but the food was amazing. They can't wait to host their own parties and teach their friends all the things they learned. Thank you again Chef Laine, you are so great!

Shane S.

Laine was amazing! She was very professional and friendly to deal with. The food was outstanding! Every course was great but the Tartar was to die for. And then the pastry dessertâ€¦ delicious! Thank you again Laine.

What an experience!!!! Chef Laine was 12/10. I would highly recommend! So friendly, confident and knowledgeable, Chef Laine taught us the how to make dumplings, miso soup, sushi rolls, and ice cream all while making us laugh and enjoy the ride. Would hire her to make me breakfast, lunch and dinner if sheâ€™d let me. Will absolutely book again! -Steph

Jodie F.

02/07/2022

Very expensive for 2 hours when class said 3 hours. We had expected more demonstration of sour dough techniques and printed recipes would allow students to take notes. Disappointing to get cold Apple dessert leftovers from previous class. Chef Laine has a wonderful personality.

Amber

If youâ€™re looking for amazing culinary skill made with love Chef Laine is the cream of the crop! From her knowledge of technical skills to vast styles of cooking nothing disappoints! Some of my absolute favs from her kitchen have been homemade soups, wild mushrooms beef with rice, coconut curries, delicious sourdough, and amazing island dishes to name a few. Laine has master the are of being both professional and warm and welcoming. I recommend her food and cooking classes to everyone.

Taliyah

02/14/2022

We have been ordering bread and broth from Laine for quiet some time, and absolutely love her homemade with love approach to cooking and her kind hearted way of business. We fell even deeper in love with her meals when our family had our Thanksgiving meal catered by her. Full Turkey dinner with all the fixings but fancier then your moms! Gravy you will dream about for weeks and greens that blew my mind. Canâ€™t wait for our next holiday to book with Laine.

Kelly G.

My husband is the pickiest man alive and even he loves Laineâ€™s cinnamon buns! Her baked goods are next level delicious!

Lisa

01/10/2022

short and sweet. When I eat Laineâ€™s food, I know I am in the presence of a master chef just doing what comes naturally. Her way of making ordinary food extraordinary is such a gift. Iâ€™ve cried eating her pickles, Iâ€™ve sworn tasting her bo-sam, Iâ€™ve laughed out loud in disbelief at the pure deliciousness of her whipped feta. I could go on for days about her bread and how every piece of food she touches is transmuted into perfection and pure joy for my mouth and tummy. Blessed.

Tim

01/10/2022

Up until the first time I ate Laineâ€™s food, I could recall but a handful of times where food was so good it took over my senses and entranced me in deliciousness. Iâ€™ve worked in kitchens, eaten at fancy restaurants and have known many chefs as well, none of which have compared to Laineâ€™s intuitive and lifelong talents for capturing flavor, elegance, and that wholesome feeling of an amazing home cooked meal. Iâ€™ve now shared countless moments of food ecstasy and have new found kitchen skills and unforgettable recipes thanks to Laine. She continues to challenge herself to learn authentic styles of cooking from various cultures while elevating the experience in ways only she can. Your heart and belly are in good hands with Laine.
