"Chef Jill recently did a cooking class for a group of 10 at my home. It was nothing short of amazing! What a great evening learning to cook Cajun food. Chef Jill is a wonderful instructor and made the class informative as well as fun. The highlight however was THE FOOD, THE FOOD, THE FOOD! It was phenomenal! Everything was so tasty and delicious, better than going to a restaurant! The cost was very reasonable too. I would highly recommend taking a cooking class with Chef Jill, you will be so glad you did, she is the best!"

"I had the best time at your cooking class on Pressure Cooking.  I have always been so afraid of pressure cookers and never wanted to try anything that involved using one for fear of blowing up my kitchen.  I'm happy to report that my fear of pressure cooking is gone...The class was not only informative, but also a lot of fun. Where else can you learn how to make 4 scrumptious meals in a pressure cooker, taste different wines with each, gab with new friends and enjoy the fruits of your labor, all in the same evening? Everything was so delicious and quick and easy to cook.  It was a blast!"

"My kids made me the best Mother's Day brunch ever at Chef Jill's kids cooking class! Chef Jill did an OUTSTANDING job! Even my five year old was interested and engaged. My kids LOVED it and are already looking forward to their next cooking adventure with Chef Jill. I lam overjoyed by the whole experience and heartily recommend Chef Jill's kids and adult cooking classes to everyone!  What a truly fun and rewarding experience for my entire family."
