What My Clients Say
My husband and I attended one of Chef J’s culinary experiences, and wow — unforgettable! We had such an amazing time. Every detail was well thought out, and the table was set beautifully. The dining experience had the feel of a fancy restaurant but was relaxed and intimate at the same time. The food was made from scratch and was absolutely delicious! Each course was perfectly paired with wine, which made the meal even more memorable. Chef J is down to earth, fun, and makes you feel completely comfortable and engaged throughout the class. The entire group of 14 had a blast! We’ve been to cooking classes before, but this was one of a kind. A 5-star experience indeed. We look forward to our next culinary experience with Chef J. You don’t even have to love cooking—this is perfect for anyone who loves to eat and wants a new experience. Highly recommend …10/10. Hats off to the Chef!

The cooking experience I had with Chef J was one I never expected going into the class. It turned out to be very homey and had a family-like atmosphere to it. Whenever I needed help or made a mistake, Chef J was always so kind and patient with me and I didn't feel judged one bit. It was also fun meeting new people and if you're shy like me, Chef J made it comfortable for me to just do my own thing and be myself. I would recommend trying out her culinary experience classes because it's one I'll never forget.
