Introduction

I care about people, that is a rare quality in this day and age. I am genuine and I love helping people learn new things. My knowledge of spices is one of my talents. I have some experience with gluten free cooking and baking. I have friends with Celiac's, so I have had to learn what I can and can't do in the kitchen in order to help them when I cook or bake for them. I am a purist, I believe using quality ingredients makes a huge impact on your food. I believe in good homemade food made with love, just like my grandma made. I love making food that tastes good and makes people happy. It makes me feel good to make food that people enjoy. I also enjoy loose leaf tea, knitting, crocheting, sewing, and paper crafting. I am willing to share any knowledge that may be useful to someone. I feel like we all have something to offer one another. If I've worked with you before or you would like a group of sessions, let's talk and I would love to offer you a discount. Thank you for your time and consideration 😊

Stephanie was friendly, communicative, and flexible to schedule an in-home cooking class for my mom and sister’s birthday. She was easy to work with and took time to share her cooking knowledge with our group of 4 adults. She arrived early for setup, and brought her own KitchenAid for making a decadent flourless chocolate cake with homemade ganache and raspberry reduction sauce. Despite the surprise of a steep grocery bill, I appreciated that Stephanie did the grocery shopping the day of the class so that it would be fresh. She even brought some special flavored oils and garlic confit for us to try at no extra cost. Our group needed a little more direction than she gave us - only 1-2 of us were actively cooking at a time so the lasagna and cake took us 3 hours to make! It turned out very delicious though and we all enjoyed ourselves! I hosted the class, but did not expect to be the only one cleaning every pot, pan, bowl, and cooking utensil that we used. We didn’t discuss cleanup help ahead of time, but it would have been appreciated since I paid for myself as a participant, and the total was $550. We all walked away with new cooking knowledge though and we enjoyed our evening! Thank you Stephanie!

Steph was amazing. She was super accommodating with menus, dates and had such a wonderful cheerful demeanor. My teenage daughter and her three friends had a fantastic time cooking and baking. They made a three course meal. All of the courses were chosen by my daughter. They made pretzels from scratch, pasta from scratch with a garlic cream sauce and a dessert of strawberry shortcake roulade and chocolate orange truffles. Success all around I would highly recommend her.

Stephanie was absolutely incredible. She exceeded my expectations. You can’t rate perfection. 5 stars to me is an insult, she’ deserve better than that.
