Laura who was my chef was very nice. I would highly recommend her. The food was great and the service was good too. We had food made for my wife and I with a 3 course meal.

Hi Laura,
Thanks so much for a fantastic and delicious day on Saturday!!
Some feedback provided below, feel free to use any/ all for your site:
Excellent excellent excellent!! From start to finish, the private lesson had me excited to prepare delicious and healthy meals. Coming into the class, I knew my way around the kitchen alright and could get through most recipes but this class was invaluable for learning the "How" and "Why" to make a meal really shine.
Shopping together was fantastic and provided a great opportunity for me to ask questions about gluten-free products, differences between brands, and what can be substituted. Navigating around the fruits and vegetables with a food expert is an awesome experience for learning little tricks to make the most of the food you purchase. I thought I knew how to pick a perfectly ripe lime – not so!
One of the things I liked most about this lesson was a kind of Food Whisperer approach to cooking – close your eyes and let the food talk to you! Squeeze a pepper to feel it’s weight and ripeness; feel the subtle bend of noodles while they’re cooking and listen to how hard the water is boiling.
Cooking gluten-free can seem incredibly intimidating but this lesson proved to me that with a little know-how, I won’t even miss the wheat. I also appreciated learning about ways to make the most of my time in the kitchen – cook once, eat twice or more. Wash my veggies once home from the store to minimize prep time. Sharpening knives, the physics of pastry, how to cleanly chop an avacado – the pearls of wisdom go on and on.
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us and providing such a fun afternoon!

The new seal of approval program looks great. I would love to be a part of that. I think it will really advertise The Chef Alliance and market our chefs.
