I can’t say enough good about Samantha! We did a cooking class with her and it was beyond wonderful. She is so helpful and skilled. The food was delicious! Can’t wait to have her for a private event!

Just when I got too busy to shop and cook, my husband and I found that we needed to go on restrictive diets. I was so happy when we found Samantha. She cooks all of the meals for our family and she graciously accommodated all of our special dietary requests. It is wonderful to come home to a fully prepared lunch and dinner - just waiting for us to reheat. Having Samantha cook for us makes it easy for us to stick to our diets! And not only that, her prices are very reasonable!

Cooking class with Chef Samantha was the absolute best EVER!!!! Chef Samantha prepared an incredible three course meal and was incredibly friendly and personal! We were celebrating a special occasion and she went above and beyond to make our experience a fantastic one! Our friends and I had a great time and the complete meal was phenomenal! We will definitely do this again!

Amazing meal! Plus we left with great tips. The value of simmering many flavors - including saffron - into a tasty halibut broth along with practical tips on using parchment paper, onion slicing and making garlic paste. Thanks so much, Sam! We had an awesome anniversary dinner.

I loved Chef Samantha's class! She demonstrated how to perfectly fry sesame chicken, a recipe that I know will become a new staple in my home, and her mashed potatoes were to die for. Chef Samantha was fun and knowledgable and made her delicious dishes look absolutely manageable. I can't wait to pick up the ingredients and cook these recipes for my friends and family.

This class does not have any dates.
