Melissa helped us make fabulous food. Not only that, it was so fun learning from her, she is so talented and it was such a treat learning from her. She made the class such a memorable experience for us, especially celebrating a birthday!

Our cooking experience with Chef Melissa was so much fun and informative! She was an excellent host and we felt very comfortable with her teaching style, learning many things from knife skills to the importance of tasting individual ingredients. Would definitely recommend!

Chef Melissa was awesome! Would take any cooking class she taught.
Not only is she great at cooking, she’s also a great hostess. We very much felt at home and ended up with leftovers. We went for my partner’s birthday and had a blast.

We joined Chef Melissa for the Treasures of Taiwan cooking experience. She was super energetic, passionate about her craft, and attentive to any questions during the entire 2 hour class. She covered knife skills, tasting ingredients, spices, baking, and more. Melissa was clearly very dedicated to making sure guests had a great time. The menu was fairly straightforward which was a good fit for less experienced chefs like ourselves. We would definitely recommend this experience and return for another one!

When I booked the class with ClassPop, the website said the class was in Boston. In actually, the class was one hour each way from Boston. I was visiting Boston and could not drive one hour each way to class. By the time I notified Chef Melissa I was not able to attend, she understandably said she could not refund because she already had expenses. I have no ill will or opinion of Chef Melissa, but I do have a big problem with the misrepresentation of the ClassPop website saying the class was in Boston when it was not.

Chef Melissa was super friendly and made our time there so enjoyable. The food was delicious as well, and chef Melissa made it easily understandable even for a beginner (not boring even for more experienced cooks either)!
