My husband and I attended a cooking class with Chef Michelle and it was a fantastic experience. Her passion for food and love for teaching were evident in every aspect of the class. She provided clear and easy to follow instructions, making even the most complex recipes seem simple. The class was not only informative but also enjoyable, with Chef Michelle's friendly and approachable demeanor. I highly recommend taking a cooking class with Chef Michelle for anyone looking to improve their culinary skills and have a great time doing so. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Best date night EVER! Thank you Chef Momo!! The knife skills alone were worth the cost of the evening. Add in the fun, great food and education on how to pick and prepare all the right ingredients and I have to say you created an ideal evening. Next time my kitchen, but definitely more wonderful Mexican food!!

Chef Michelle was incredible and the experience significantly surpassed my expectations. I don't have much experience cooking, and Chef Michelle was an excellent teacher who was thorough and helpful. The meal was delicious and I look forward to trying to make it at home. Beyond the food, Chef Michelle is engaging and created a wonderful atmosphere that promoted conversation and a lot of fun! I would highly recommended Chef Michelle, and I'm looking forward to returning.

From the beginning of our messages regarding booking a class, Chef Michelle showed nothing but kindness. When I placed in the notes that the class was a birthday surprise for my sister, Chef Michelle reached out immediately and went out of her way to help me book a private class for my sister’s birthday. The class itself was enjoyable from beginning to end. From us walking in to a warm welcoming to the details such as Chef Michelle placing a happy birthday sign for my sister, I was blown away. Chef Michelle was extremely personable, kind, and genuine. Her teaching style is impeccable to the point that a person with no cooking experience whatsoever would be able to easily follow and enjoy themselves. My sister and I appreciated that as Chef Michelle was instructing, she would provide reasons why she was doing a specific method which solidified the learned information for me personally (and helped me identify some of my previous cooking snafus). Something I usually would be intimidated to cook has quickly become a dish added to my regular cooking rotation. The dish we made was delicious and we had a lot of laughs and great conversation. I can’t say enough good things about Chef Michelle and the class. Thank you so much for making it a memorable birthday for my sister and experience for the both of us! Don’t hesitate booking with her!
