We loved Chef MaggieвЂ™s vegan French cooking class. Despite having taken other cooking classes in the past, we learned new knife skills techniques and facts related to the meal from Maggie. SheвЂ™s a delight to be around and we had fun cooking with her. We particularly appreciated how she set us up for success: focusing our efforts on chopping and tasting for balance, while explaining her cooking technique along the way. The meal was absolutely delicious. We are excited to make it again with her instruction in mind.

Chef Maggie prepared some great vegan dishes and taught us techniques that will really raise our skills. I especially appreciated learning how to make beautiful round pitas that puff and make a pocket. And the falafel were so tender. All the dishes were delicious.
