Chef Sam was wonderful--we cooked classic French cuisine from appetizer to dessert, learning everything from making fresh butter to flaming brandy for a wonderful black peppercorn sauce. We got to be very hands on because there were only two of us in this class. I believe the max is four, but that may get a little tight. Chef Sam shared that she has other classes available as well, so we will be booking our next one soon--we will definitely visit her again!

Thank you so much Sam!! The food was amazing! Your techniques even I could follow and prepare (and I am not a person that cooks at all). Super delicious and fun! Thank you for the sweet gesture with the birthday candle at the end on the dessert baklava for my partner. You are super thoughtful and it was so sweet of you! Thank you! I have already begun asking him when is he going to make me that baklava again…lol :D

I loved Chef Samantha's class! She demonstrated how to perfectly fry sesame chicken, a recipe that I know will become a new staple in my home, and her mashed potatoes were to die for. Chef Samantha was fun and knowledgable and made her delicious dishes look absolutely manageable. I can't wait to pick up the ingredients and cook these recipes for my friends and family.

Sam catered my wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better cater. She is so chill! And at a wedding you don’t need anyone else being over the top. We did a family style dinner which she nailed! So many tasty dishes. Right before the wedding my mom started freaking out that we didn’t have steak knifes (beef tenderloin ?) she comes to Sam to tell her the bad news and Sam says “well I guess it better be tender” and it was totally perfect! All of her staff are very polite and very professional. Highly highly recommend!

Samantha is an amazing cook...she comes to our house periodically to cook a few meals for us. We love her food and our kids do too...and it isn't mac & cheese. We are trying flavors that we wouldn't normally try. Always so tasty! She is prepared and leaves our kitchen as clean as she found it. She is creative with her meal options. And to top it off, she is very nice and always has a smile on her face!

Samantha was the caterer for my wedding. She made the process extremely simple and stress free. I gave her my budget (which she respected, unlike other vendors that push you to spend more) and my ideas. The wedding went off without a flaw. Everyone was full and happy. Can't wait to have her cater another event!!!!

We used Chef Samantha our wedding. We had a very specific idea of what we wanted and a small budget to get it accomplished. We didn't think it was going to be possible but she with us to create the dream menu unlike any other. Now, a year after our wedding, people still talk about the food and how much they enjoyed it. You will not regret going with Chef Samantha for your event.
