Our second cooking and learning evening with Chef Linda. . .what a delight. It is clear how much she loves what she does. Each element of the meal is brought together with care and attention to the cooking method at hand and a desire that we be able to replicate what she is teaching. It's fun having a local chef of this quality with whom we can spend an enriching, interesting evening.

Fantastic meal, and a really nice guy! If someone can make amazing fusion food AND talk about jazz and King Crimson, they're alright in my book! :)

We had so much fun, learned a lot about prepping and cooking and about the origins of the food, and best of all, enjoyed one of the best meals we've ever had (and certainly the best we've had a hand in preparing). Best of all, a week later we tried to do it in our own, and using four of the recipes, made a delicious meal all by ourselves.

Chef Linda, the experience, and the meal were all outstanding. Linda shared with us a wealth of experience with food and culture, adding shopping tips, lots of cooking technique instruction, chemistry, and how to make things taste good - really good. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a truly delicious meal, that we helped create. 5 stars plus.

An evening with Chef Linda was the perfect birthday dinner experience! She's a true artisan that blends her culinary knowledge and teaching experiences into an incredible evening. She's a positive force who keeps the abilities of a home cook in mind as she teaches how to translate complex flavors into the real world so that anyone can replicate the evening's recipes. We highly recommend!!

Cooking with Chef Linda was fantastic. We are all relatively experienced home cooks but learned so much about ingredients and cooking techniques. We all left with pages of notes and ideas. She is a wonderful teacher and so knowledgeable. The food was so delicious! The experience far exceeded our expectations.

This was a great class! The recipes were unique and delicious. Chef Linda is very knowledgeable and had several great tips and tricks. My only suggestion would be to start the class earlier- we didnвЂ™t finish almost 10pm. I would attend another class though- it was fun and engaging.

I recently had the pleasure of attending Chef Linda's Mexican food cooking class, and it was an absolute delight! Chef Linda's extensive knowledge and clever kitchen hacks truly impressed me. The Queso Fundido with Poblano Vinaigrette was a culinary masterpiece; the flavors were incredibly delicious and blended perfectly. Equally impressive was the Corn and Poblano Lasagna, which left me craving for more. Apart from the scrumptious dishes, what made the experience even more enjoyable was the comfortable and welcoming setting of Chef Linda's home kitchen. The cozy ambiance made it feel like I was cooking among friends. And speaking of friends, I must mention the adorable feline companions who added an extra touch of warmth to the atmosphere. Meeting Chef Linda's cats was a delightful bonus to an already fantastic experience. Overall, I can't praise Chef Linda enough for her culinary expertise, her creative kitchen hacks, and her ability to create a cozy and inviting cooking environment. Attending her Mexican food cooking class was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their culinary skills while savoring incredible flavors.

Chef Luis was awesome! We are a family of 4, he came to the AirBnB we were staying at on vacation in Tucson. He arrived exactly on time, brought all ingredients and cooking tools, and was ready for everything. He did a great job explaining the history, the ingredients, and the process. The food was amazing. We would absolutely do this again!

Beyond excellent! Linda was wonderful in her food knowledge of history, techniques, and flavoring. The experience was relaxed, engaging, and enjoyable. Even those in our group who had no interest in food and cooking willingly participated. Curiosities and questions were answered. Linda maintained composure as we really made a kitchen messвЂ¦.but it was well worth it. Thank you Linda!

Linda was amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the history of the foods we prepared. It was a hands-on class and I learned several very useful tips. And you certainly don't go away hungry! We attended the Southwest cooking class - the chili rellenos was delicious and we learned a new way to prepare it. The beans, salad, guacamole and elote were awesome. Can't recommend the class high enough. You won't be disappointed.

Chef Luis not only cooked incredible dishes but was happy to show how they were prepared, the unique ingredients, and origins from the old world. Such an amazing time hanging out with him and learning about his experiences as a chef in Cuba, Italy, Spain, and Mexico. Amazing food and amazing evening!

It wasnвЂ™t a cooking class. Food was not very fresh: lots of processed and artificial ingredients ((CampbellвЂ™s soup for the sauce? WTH!) Way too salty and full of MSG, and overemphasis on meat ( вЂњroasted porkвЂќ was just a pan fried chop). This is nor a Mexican cuisine - overall I felt the offering was falsely advertised. That said, Luis is an engaging and entertaining person, and the evening was enjoyable.
