Chef Yanni combines her education with her natural culinary talents to create a unique global view on the world of flavor. Her travels through Europe expanded her abilities and opened her eyes to new possibilities. Working at the Paris Ritz Carlton, Mayan Palace, and the Art Institute of Chicago helped her develop epicurean finesse, but Chef Yanni is just as comfortable preparing humble homemade fare as she is with hosting global feasts.

Chef Yani has an impressive background. We learned so much AND, at the same time, had an enjoyable, relaxing experience.

My dad and I had a great time taking this class with Yani! Yani gave great instructions, and we learned a lot. I most appreciated her personal trick for pairing seasonings and flavors, as well as hearing her story of becoming a chef. Would highly recommend and would happily take this class again!
