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.

The class went beyond our expectations. Linda is a wealth of knowledge when is come to food, cooking and "food archaeology". She was happy to share her love of food and cooking with us. I am looking forward to taking additional classes with Linda.

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.

This menu was so delicious and Chef Linda has a great deal of information about the history of food related to what we cooked. We made our own pasta and I learned a lot of great cooking tips! Know I can do fresh garlic quickly and do a pomegranate in less time!!

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.

This was more than just cooking food. Linda spent considerable time sharing her vast knowledge and use of the different ingredients that went into our meal. She also gave us tips and showed us ways that will make us better cooks no matter what we might be cooking. A superb evening! Thanks Linda.

Linda is great! We had a lesson in chiles- fresh and dried- before we got cooking. She kept us engaged and on track. We learned about the effect of salt on flavorsвЂ¦ and those flavors were delicious!!

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 Lenny is amazing! He prepared the best vegetarian meal weвЂ™ve ever had, a four-course meal in the privacy of our home. HeвЂ™s an outstanding chef and a real gentleman. We will schedule him again!

WeвЂ™ve never had a chef teach us or into our house before, but chef Lenny was so patient and personable and kind, it was like having a friend over while you all cooked together. Plus the food - especially the desert - was amazing!

Chef Lenny created a four-course vegan meal for two of us that was absolutely amazingly delicious! For each course Chef shared necessary prep work required, explained what he was doing throughout, and answered questions to complete satisfaction. We opted to have Lenny cook for us as opposed to being involved, as we were hungry! Process was quicker that way! :-)
