“Your kitchen is beautiful and your organization of all the things we used was so educational. The group was very friendly and everyone seemed to enjoy the class and learned many new things…” M.M.
“Thoroughly enjoyed that…class. Some things you said resonated. Your explanation of 'steaming' being opening and relaxing of food, and dry cooking tightening food up is that kind of understanding I don't have…” B.P.
“I have been telling everyone what a wonderful time I had in your cooking class. Your generosity of spirit, intuitive sensibilities with food and cooking, and your relaxed way of welcoming everyone into your kitchen put us all at ease and made the experience fabulous. People could contribute more or less depending on their comfort in the kitchen, but everyone was included…” B.R.
“It has been interesting to tell people that we cooked ratatouille. They usually respond. "Oh it's so mushy, I don't like it." BUT this was not mushy and was the best ratatouille I have ever tasted! And I especially loved the creative brain storming at the end of class about other less expected ways of using ratatouille.” B.R.A.
“I loved your teaching style, as well as the setting of your own lovely home— the passion and ease of communication in the kitchen inspiring and contagious--not to mention the deliciousness! I look forward to a next time!” D.B.C.
“I thought the class was thoroughly worthwhile. There was lots to absorb beyond the specifics of the material…” D.B.
“You bring back happy memories about food stuff when I was a child. Really enjoy your classes…” B.P.O.
“Thank you for such an enriching experience. Your cooking class is so much more than a 3-hour cooking class. It's about lifestyle, slowing down, savoring food, enjoying company. Kay ~ I enjoyed how you were able to be both professional and "just yourself" - humorous and down to earth and just lovely!…” M.C.
“I have been basking in the glow of that aioli class all week. It really was delightful. Tonight I served the tapenade, aioli and vegetables to friends, including a French woman who's a chef, and received such compliments. (What a relief!) In fact, her husband said it's the best tapenade he's ever tasted. Wow. Thank you! …I'm floating.” C.I.
“…I am emailing friends to ‘Treat yourself to a 3 hour vacation in France right here in Petaluma - and learn something in THE most enlivening, relaxing, encouraging environment I’ve ever experienced’…” T.H.I.
