Maggie was such a fantastic teacher and made amazingly flavorful food for us! I don't usually expect delicious Vegan European food, but this surpassed all my expectations. My favorite dish of the night was the ratatouille with each flavor note standing out beautifully and paired perfectly with a simple baked potato topped with hollandaise sauce. Yum! The best part was that all the dishes being so simple and healthy, are easily replicable any other time at home. We definitely learned a lot and cannot recommend her enough! Truly a wonderful birthday surprise!

We loved Chef Maggie’s vegan French cooking class. Despite having taken other cooking classes in the past, we learned new knife skills techniques and facts related to the meal from Maggie. She’s a delight to be around and we had fun cooking with her. We particularly appreciated how she set us up for success: focusing our efforts on chopping and tasting for balance, while explaining her cooking technique along the way. The meal was absolutely delicious. We are excited to make it again with her instruction in mind.

Chef Maggie prepared some great vegan dishes and taught us techniques that will really raise our skills. I especially appreciated learning how to make beautiful round pitas that puff and make a pocket. And the falafel were so tender. All the dishes were delicious.

The American Vegan cooking class with Chef Maggie was excellent. She arrived a bit early and was super organized. She has a wonderful personality and the food was sooo good. We cooked the barbeque cauliflower with ranch sauce which was so tasty. The cupcakes and icing were perfect. The zucchini fritters were great and the caesar salad was wonderful. We had so much fun, what a great evening!!!
