What Guests Are Saying About These Experiences With Chef Emily

Ashley S.

For Christmas, I gave a coupon to my mom and stepdad for Chef Emily's vegan cooking class and did they absolutely enjoy it!!! My mom and stepdad are slowly going vegan/incorporating vegan meals during their week and said that Chef Emily was so insightful, energetic, and fun to learn from. It's been over 2 weeks since they've taken the class and I'm still hearing stories and techniques they learned from the class. They said it was easy to follow along and people at all levels of cooking would enjoy!

Chef Emily is a knowledgable fun and patient chef who clearly enjoys sharing her passion for cooking with others. I learned so much from her class and the food was incredible! I can't wait to try out some of these same dishes at home and impress my friends and family.

What a great experience and great fun for a date night. Chef Emily was an amazing host and teacher for the New England Coastal Cuisine class. It was all hands on and you get to eat what you prepare! My boyfriend and I both loved it and will definitely do it again.

Emily went above and beyond. She was more than amazing. She accommodated to my dietary needs on a whim and made the experience better than I could have ever imagined. Iâ€™d suggest her to everyone I know. Pittsburgh is lucky to have such a talented chef and kind soul in the area.

Emily's presentation impressed my guests even before they tasted the food. Everything looked and was amazing. One of my guests is gluten free so I had asked for some GF options. Everything on the menu seemed so appealing that I went with all GF options. I did not regret it. Emily helped me make my party a success. I highly recommend her services.
