Chef Peggy was insightful, funny and was a great teacher. We even got her to sing and dance a little bit.

Chef Peggy is a truly gifted chef with extensive knowledge of her craft. We chose her "come to you" option and it was al just simply wonderful! She helped us create a beautiful, delicious meal that we are certain to make again and again. Special bonus when you choose Chef Peggy 》 excellent real life stories and cool bits of advice for both the kitchen and life in general ♡ We will 100% call on her again and keep this connection open.

Chef Peggy was very good. Really enjoyed her teaching the class and the winery menu. My only concern is as we were expecting flank steak tacos not ground beef as cooking techniques are very different. All in all a fun experience.

Chef Peggy is an absolute joy. Good was delicious and we hope we can replicate it all back home. Our only constructive criticism would be to make it more hands-on and have the guests do all the preparing and cooking with Peggy’s oversight as it is a cooking class after all. That said, I would not hesitate at hiring chef Peggy for a future event.

This is a review of the ramen class, not the chef. Chef Peggy is fantastic, but the ramen cooking class is NOT a cooking class. We were disappointed as it wasn’t what we expected. We arrived to a large group of people and did not actually get to cook or create anything. We sat around, listening to interesting history and knowledge about the dish and chefs. Then we got up to get our food and ate. The ramen broth was truly delicious and exceptional, but it wasn’t the experience we thought we would have. This was not hands on. Another side note, for how healthy the food was and made with such care I was surprised it was served in styrofoam bowls which leech chemicals into your food. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a hands on cooking class.

Chef Peggy was very nice, but this wasn’t a hands on cooking class. Very disappointed as the ramen was already made. Would not recommend the ramen class if you’re looking for a hands on class.

Chef Peggy brings a refreshing approach on cooking. I loved how simple and fresh her ingredients were. It reminded me that food doesn't have to be complicated to be healthy. The peanut sauce was truly amazing with the right amount of spice. Her space was very inviting and brought a sense of peace of mind along with great aromatics floating through the air.
With a strong focus on the healing qualities of food, Chef Peggy emphasizes mindful eating and teaches how to choose the healthiest ingredients in her interactive cooking classes. Armed with 10 years of experience teaching cooking classes and seven years as a caterer and personal chef, Chef Peggy enjoys crafting menus built around seasonal fare. Another accomplishment to add to the list: she won the bronze medal in the seafood category in the 2018 Caribbean chef competition.
