Chef Iliana was truly amazing! Exceptional attention to detail defines Chef Iliana's dumpling skills. From the first bite to the last, every flavor harmonizes perfectly, showcasing a true mastery of the culinary arts. We can’t wait to book another class with Chef Iliana!

we took this class as a team building event and Liliana did a great job keep us engaged and help us all connect more through making dumplings. We made steam dumplings but wish we also had the option to make fried dumplings but otherwise it was a great class.

Chef Iliana is wonderful. Venue was too loud. We sat in the back of a restaurant close to the DJ. Venue felt unsanitary for making food. Also I could see spit coming out of Chef Iliana’s mouth and landing on food. She spoke so close to the table where the food was and people were sitting. Not the most sanitary. I am sure that she would have spoke from further away if the room wasn’t so loud.

Went to Iliana's Dumpling making class for a date night- Me and my partner absolutely loved every second of it. She is very organised and on point with all the arrangements. Break down of all steps make it very easy to follow instructions and get the yummiest dumplings as end result. She is very friendly and answers as many questions as you have. Overall it was a really fun class and cant wait to do my next class with her.

Iliana was absolutely amazing! She had a wonderful way of balancing personal conversation and cooking instruction. She has so much to offer as both a person and a chef. I am not a chef to begin with but, her class truly inspired me to be more experimental with food. We will be seeking out more classes with her!

The venue was nice, and we had a good time, but the class didn't deliver for the money. I learned almost nothing about making sushi. It seemed like the chef went to Whole Foods on the way to the class to pick up ingredients. 90 minutes into the session, and we still hadn't eaten. The ingredients were served on paper plates and for $55 each, we didn't have enough ingredients to make the two rolls.

Had an intimate private dinner party at my house with my boyfriend and another couple. She cooked every dish with an immense amount of love and creativity. Since that night I am now a regular meal prep client of hers.

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.

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.

We had the privilege of partnering up with Chef Ili for our spring 2022 season providing us nutritional meals, snacks and drinks for our soccer teams. I also personally had the privilege of getting meals for myself and as always she amazes our taste buds. Chef Ili always communicate with us to make sure we had what we needed whether it be sufficient if the teams enjoyed the meals and also very punctual with delivery. She stays hands on with you exceeding your expectations Id recommend Chef Ili over and over again never disappointed. I personally have eaten veggies and foods I wouldn’t have before but anything she touches is a hit!

Chef Ili cooked for our private events to celebrate our one year anniversary. She outdid herself and truly catered to each individual that attended the 20 person party. Iliana was super energetic and had everyone engaged. I recommend everyone to her, she truly makes the best experience!

I recently had the pleasure to taste some of Chef Iliana's amazing recipes. I was blown away at how well prepared she was, her ingenious combinations and the freshness of her final products. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her for a party I am hosting in the fall!

This class does not have any dates.
