My friends and I were so happy with this experience. The chef and her sous chef were so personable and talented. They felt like they were part of the party at moments. The food was fantastic and the participation level was easily accommodated to still socialize while doing. A truly great night! Highly highly recommend!

We enjoyed cooking a Seafood Paella. Great knowledge and suggestions for substitutions of needed or desired items. We were also impressed that she knew about the history of the dish. Website was not as user friendly but have absolutely no complaints about Chef.

I cooked the most beautiful paella and was so impressed with how it turned out! The class was so wonderful and perfectly tailored to the ingredients I had but also the speed at which my dish was cooking. It was such a wonderful personal experience! I learned so much and all my questions were answered as well as great conversations about our love for food! I highly recommend this class!

Me and my wife learned how to cook stuffed mushrooms with creamy goat cheese and bacon, then crispy green tomatoes paired with apple coleslaw and steak. It was a awesome experience and Legina was great to talk with and learn from.

Chef GiGi (Legina) was absolutely amazing. She was excellent to work with in planning the event and was great at the event itself. She asked how we wanted to handle the evening and did exactly as requested with some hands on for our team and some her taking over. The meal was great and our team had a fantastic time overall.
