She is patient and sweet.. Food was amazing!!
09/05/2024
Overall great experience! The recipe was really delicious, better than I expected. The instructor made the ice cream and I was hoping that we’d learn that part - as I knew how to cook everything else. A good time nonetheless!

Jen was awesome. Clear instructions, hands-on participation, all in a clean and beautiful kitchen. Bravo!
12/01/2023
Chef Andy's class was wonderful! He was informative, engaging, highly flexible, and most importantly patient. Our group of 30 had a blast and we would take another one of his class. I couldn't recommend his class enough.
