Mary made me feel welcome and comfortable right away. She had great conversation and explain the dishes and gave us plenty of suggestions to add add on our own when we try the recipes on our own.

Chef Mary was delightful and we had a great time. Although I wouldn't call this class knife skills as actually learning any knife skills was only a small fraction of the time. We did learn other stuff, however, that we are enthusiastic to apply to our own home cooking.

Mary was a delight to spend time with! She is definitely a fun host and made our time very enjoyable. She was accommodating and hilarious. The knife skills class left us with some good tips that we will put to use every day in the kitchen. Would love to do another one of her classes!

Chef Mary is a lot of fun and she is full of culinary tricks and is knowledgeable about the trade of cooking. She aims to not only make guests comfortable in her waterside home, she also makes learning about food, cooking techniques and kitchen skills simple and interesting. Home cooks unite!

Mary was so much fun to cook with! She is a great teacher and I learned a lot. The dishes we prepared were delicious and I enjoyed being in her bright, spotless kitchen.

I'm VERY disappointed with this class. Mary is a sweet lady but this class should NOT be marketed as a "professional knife skills class". The first sentence of this class description mentions "...you assemble a spread of dishes that require slicing, chopping and mincing"- this was just frankly not done. At all. The class should instead be marketed as a beginners cooking class or beginners pasta making class. And as a competent home chef already... this was not what I was looking for. I would NOT have purchased this class if I had known there would be almost ZERO actual knife work. Mary had already prepped things and purchased pre-chopped veggies instead of having us actually do the work.

It was a fun experience! Chef Mary is a very lively host and gives good cooking advice that clears the mystery behind cooking but also gets me excited to try cooking more vs treating it as a chore.

What a delight to take this class! Mary was one of the most welcoming entertaining and knowledgeable chefs we have met. Not only did we have a great introduction to the basics of using a knife in the kitchen, but we also made a wonderful lunch under her supervision. This would be an awesome setting for families or close friends to share a course and have a wonderful culinary experience. If I could give her more than five stars I would. Well done Mary!

Chef Mary was the BEST! I bought this class as a Christmas present for my wife and I to do together, and I am so glad I did! We made pasta from scratch as well as a salad, dessert, and fritters. If you get the chance to take this class, do it and don't look back! Mary is a wealth of knowledge and full of personality. We can't wait until we can take another one of her classes!

Chef Mary did a good job rolling with the circumstances presented to her, staying positive and keeping things fun. I learned some helpful things that will stick with me going forward. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because we weren't able to cover all the things we were supposed to due to the power going out. That's not Mary's fault whatsoever and she made the best of the situation. I'm certain if we had gotten to do everything that was planned, it would've been a 5 star experience.

Mary was super fun to cook with! She had a lot of great tips and tricks, made wonderful food, and was a great host. She has a great personality and makes you feel welcome from the second you meet her. I would highly recommend taking any classes with Mary!

Chef Mary is *so much fun*. Laid back, super informal, yet brings the knowledge and lets you practice some real skills. I made a new friend in Chef Mary, and I'll most certainly be a return customer. :)

We had such a fantastic evening with Mary! First off the food was fantastic, it's always fun when you get to help out a little in the process, but Mary definitely had the extra touch to make everything taste amazing and got a few little pro tips on the seasoning that will be used much sooner than later. Learned some great fundamentals for Knife skills, if you don't know how to cut an onion, that's practically worth the price of admission itself. But most importantly, just had a lot of fun! Mary is all energy and witty jokes, and it didn't take long to get into some meaningful conversation. Amazing to go into a strangers home and feel at home, so cool. Would recommend 100% and look forward to another class!!
