- Katrina

Chef Iliana was extremely knowledgeable, warm, and a fun teacher! Our group had a blast, and I’m so excited to go home and try to make this dish on my own!!!

- Landis

Such an incredible experience for my partner and i’s anniversary! Chef was so kind and taught us a lot about food at home! Can’t wait to have my dumplings for lunch tomorrow!

- Hannah

This was very disappointing, after arriving right before the class begun the owner of the bar saying they were not sure if the class was happening because they have not heard from the chef. Eventually someone comes and has to set up after the event has started. It was not Chef Iliana but her gf who was there to lead the class. After starting late we did not do much, but there was not enough dumpling presses for all of us, so my partner and I did not have the proper material the rest of the class did. After being the first ones to turn in our dumplings we did not get them back until THE ENTIRE CLASS HAD EATEN AND LEFT. Every single person had left the building but us, they did not realize that ours was not cooking. Usually they said they use bamboo steamers but this time was just tin foils and flames, but ours did not work. After the chef showed up covered in glitter from the people she met on the train, even though we were told she was late due to traffic the class had been going on for two hours. She had told us that our dumplings were falling apart and she would have instructed us to make them differently if she was here, but she was not? They are very nice people but it was very unprofessional and not organized at all.

Fantastic, my wife and I booked chef ili for a private cooking class dinner. I wanted to surprise my wife with a class since she has been on a binge of learning new tricks and trades. Low and be hold chef ili was recommended to me by a colleague of mine who hired her for two previous events he held. She came in with her team and turned our kitchen and dining room into a beautiful foodie oasis, where she set up 3 different cooking stations for us to prepare our own 3 course tasting menu. It was such a blast and my wife had the time of her life. We will be hiring chef ili and her team again.

Absolutely Amazing! Chef ili catered a private event for my family and we had such a great time. She not only cooked all the food but she also crafted a delicious cocktail for us with the liquor we provided. Chef ili and her team truly took the time to cater to every family member by remembering each persons choice of drink to passing extra bites after dinner. We even went ahead and pre-booked a private cooking class birthday dinner for my sister. Thanks a million to chef ili and her amazing team for making all of us feel important that day!!

I am so happy that I attended the Chef ili’s cooking class at the Manna of Life Food Pantry. The class was fun, informative and we learned so much in a short time. Chef ili focused on the foods that the pantry provides. One of the recipes was chicken nuggets that were made with canned chicken. Her recipe was easy to follow and the nuggets were very tasty and well made. I was not sure what to do with the canned chicken but she gave us many ideas on what to do with the product. At a previous class she taught us how to make a very tasty sautéed cabbage. Chef ili enjoys teaching and her love of cooking is very contagious. She teaches with passion and wants us to learn how to make better choices when we are preparing meals. Chef ili is very professional and her expertise is very evident. Love her classes.

- Gladys Roman

Truly enjoy the way Chef ili speaks to her class with complete knowledge and passion with every word that flows from her mouth. I'm always recommending her to friends and colleagues. She also travels to other states, as i was hosting a party in Florida and she gladly came and cooked up a storm for my 60 guest ! I appreciate her hard work.
