Review of Cooking Class at Chef JaimeвЂ™s Home We had the great pleasure of attending a cooking class in Chef Jaime's clean, cozy, and welcoming apartment, which featured a large kitchen and a beautiful center island with granite countertopsвЂ”perfect for group cooking. We prepared vegan empanadas, guacamole, and a delicious veggies stew, sauces, etc. all under Chef Jaime's expert guidance and supervision. Chef JaimeвЂ™s enthusiasm and energy truly set the tone for a fantastic experience. She was incredibly organized, managing the class smoothly and keeping us on track without ever making it feel rushed. What really stood out was her ability to engage with participants of all experience levels, from beginners to more seasoned cooks, making sure everyone felt included and valued. Her positive, supportive attitude created an environment that was not only instructive but also fun and encouraging. It was clear that sheвЂ™s passionate about her craft and genuinely cares about ensuring her students have a memorable experience. If you're looking for a cooking class that balances learning with a warm, community feel, I highly recommend Chef JaimeвЂ™s class. Buon appetito. Ghania and Mark

This class was so great! We donвЂ™t have enough good things to say. Chef Jamie welcomed us into her home that was clean, intimate, beautifully decorated and a perfect space for my mother and I to take this cooking class. We had the privilege of it being a private class. Chef Jamie explained each step thoroughly before beginning and continued to do so as we went through each step. At times, when I was hard on myself with not knowing what to do, she consistently reassured me that learning is part of the process and itвЂ™s okay to make mistakes. Everything we made was so delicious and cooked/prepared to perfection. Was truly a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Chef Jamie!

I booked chef jamie for my wife and I as a special ValentineвЂ™s day date. My wife loves to cook and i absolutely love that i never have to, so i wasnt sure what to expect, but the entire night blew us both away. Immediately we felt comfortable, excited , and hanging on every word Chef jamie said. She was well versed and able to explain each step, no matter the skill level coming in to the class. But even more than that, she made it fun, relatable and engaging. We made a crostini to start that im still dreaming about, perfect pillowy gnocchi and tiramisu with left overs for the whole week! Chef Jamie was spunky , personable, educational, and made cooking fun, plain and simple. I would highly recommend Chef Jamie to any one who wants a night out with great company, great atmosphere, and even better food ( at the end she even lets you lick the spoon !)
