She was engaging. Paid attention to detail, and not just the food but in the conversation. Entertaining. Food was tasty. No pics because we ate it all!

We cooked a vegan and GF Mediterranean meal, with falafel and tzatziki, roasted vegetables with quinoa and Lemon Olive Oil cake. It was SUCH a great and fun class. I personally learned better knife skills, lots of cooking tips and tricks to make cooking easier and faster, and had a wonderful meal that I look forward to and feel confident of creating on my own. My daughter and I attended the class together and there was a young couple in the class too and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Chef Jamie's teaching space/home was lovely - perfect for our class and she made the entire experience interesting, resourceful, TONS of fun and inspiring! I look forward to taking another class! My only regret was I forgot to take pictures!!

From the moment we walked in, Chef Jamie made us feel completely at ease—her warm presence was so comforting, especially since we’re a little on the shy and introverted side. She created such a welcoming atmosphere that the two hours flew by, and we left not only having made delicious vegetarian Middle Eastern food but also feeling so much more confident in the kitchen. Jamie is incredibly knowledgeable, and her goal is truly to empower her students—she gave us invaluable advice, from how to properly hold a knife to small tricks that make cooking smarter and less intimidating. I’m already seeing the aftereffects; today, as I made sheet pan vegetables, I found myself thinking back to her class. I highly recommend this experience—it felt so personal, and I walked away with skills I’ll carry with me every time I cook!

Chef Jamie kindly welcomed us into her home and provided a comfortable environment to experiment with flavors and enjoy developing a 3 course meal. This was a great date night activity that left us with tips and tricks we can bring into our own kitchen. Chef Jamie is a well seasoned professional whose expertise and sense of humor made for a fun evening in the kitchen. Thanks Chef!

Anisha
Best choice I've made has been hiring Chef Jamie as a Private Chef for over 3 years. You can tell she cares about her client's wants and puts her heart into her cooking. Throughout my time working with her, she has been able to adjust my meals to work with different dietary needs and still deliver delicious meals. I've had a great experience working with her and would 100% recommend her to everyone! She's a ray of sunshine, so I can just imagine how fun and insightful her cooking classes are.
Daniel
Omg this experience was EVERYTHING. My lady and I greatly appreciated the detail Jamie puts into making the food she makes from the taste to the plate placement. If I’m hiring ANYONE, it’ll def be Jamie! In 5 years she has not missed at all!
Spencer
Jamie is very responsive to all questions regarding her food service. She is also very friendly, reliable and knowledgeable. I received personal meal-prepped meals from Jaime and she was always prompt in her delivery and offering her expertise in foods that will help you in any direction you want to go (I.e. lose weight, tone body, etc.). I wish I could give 10 stars.
