Hands-On Cooking Class

These classes are designed to welcome you into the kitchen and leave you inspired, whether you’re a foodie or a new cook.

You’ll learn a menu simple enough to add to your weekly rotation, yet special enough to serve to company. Each class begins with a beautifully set mocktail station to help you unwind, followed by creating a quick appetizer to nibble on, and then a main course using vibrant, local, seasonal produce. Over two hours, we sip, chop, talk, and ease into a space that feels encouraging, unpretentious, and sensory - full of color, aroma, stories, and creativity.

Cooking becomes a soothing escape rather than a chore, and culminates as a magical meal where guests gather around a family-style table, sharing the meal, conversation, and often new friendships. People leave saying they feel good, and that’s the point! Come hungry.

Open to kids, teens, and adults!

We are happy to accommodate a range of dietary preferences including: GF, DF, Plant-Based, Low-Glycemic, New Health Journey

Interactive Cooking Party

This is where we host Bachelorette Parties, Corporate and Team Retreats, Family Reunions, and Girls’ Night Out gatherings. These events are similar to the cooking class described above, but with a looser, more social vibe.

Guests can sip and mingle, join me at the island to chat while I cook, or jump in to chop and sprinkle herbs - whatever feels fun. I lead the meal from start to finish, weaving in stories as we go, and even the self-proclaimed “worst cook” (which I don’t believe in, and I’ll prove it) ends up participating and enjoying themselves. One of my favorite memories was a family reunion with an eight-year-old and an eighty-year-old cooking side by side. I love to watch the generations meeting, memories forming, photos snapping. It’s always an honor to be part of these celebrations, and I’m sincerely grateful when you trust me with your special events.

Private Chef

This offering is designed so you can truly be part of your own party. I handle the cooking, and you enjoy your guests.

My kitchen is always open, so if someone wants to peek into a pot or ask a question, they’re welcome to! Your only job is to set the table and choose whether you prefer family-style or plated service. Before the event, I’ll ask about the tone, flavor profiles, and even the colors you want to incorporate, then curate a custom menu using local, seasonal ingredients for the freshest flavors. Once you approve the menu, I arrive and prepare everything live, presenting each course with a short story to connect your guests to the food - maybe how the leeks came from my garden or the farm where they were grown. It adds a special warmth to the experience, giving your guests a glimpse into the heart-centered, garden-loving chef behind their meal.
