Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Not only was the food delicious but the class was very educational. Chef Tracy is very knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommend!!! We learned the nutritional value in food, how to properly cut it to make it stretch so that you can continue to eat healthy on a budget; how to cook it as well. Chef Tracy was patient and the perfect host.

Chef Tracy’s dining experience was amazing. Her knowledge of food, & nutrition coupled with her vast life experience made for an unforgettable experience. My date and I had an amazing time. I learned so much about technique, and overall how much she knew about not only cooking but nutrition and diet. It was truly a gift to meet her. She has a wealth of knowledge in so many different facets. Highly recommend. We plan to do more in the future!
