The whole family (ages 13 to 47) thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class - fresh pizza dough and marinara sauce from scratch. Pizza night will never be the same again. Thanks Chef Lauren!

Cô Ba's cooking was absolutely mouthwatering. I was utterly impressed with the presentation, clean preparation, healthy ingredients and expert preparation of the meal. Each dish she crafted was delicious, modern, yet sang an ode to traditional Vietnamese cooking. Best of all, she chose the menu and had everything done in just a few hours. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef.

Chef Jermaine not only taught us how to make a delicious meal but shared techniques on how to store produce and the nutritional benefits of certain foods. He made cooking fun; now I am experimenting with different foods.

I took the Fancy Chocolate Treats class with a friend and we both loved it. We learned how to make three delicious desserts but even more, we learned the technique of tempering chocolate that can be used for many, many more desserts. The sky is the limit!

I have been taking Thetahealing classes with Reshma for 2 years. She is an exceptional healer and an amazing teacher! The classes I’ve taken with Reshma are profoundly life changing! In the 2 years time I have experienced tremendous personal growth and shifts in my and my family’s lives. Reshma is just an outstanding, caring teacher and a beautiful person to learn Thetahealing from and I look forward to each and every class with her. I am extremely grateful for Reshma and all that I’ve learned from her!

What a great experience! Bega showed us how to make several healthy, inexpensive, easy-to-make meals that will absolutely make appearances time and time again in my and my fiancées busy schedules, but that’s not all. She took time to teach us about the process and art of cooking. I’ve been active in the kitchen since I was a fairly young boy and still I left Bega’s with lessons and pieces of knowledge that will truly stay with me for the rest of my life. Oh, and I had a great time, too!!! The 80s soundtrack and company of the other students that night couldn’t be beat!

Love this company. She hosted a private cooking session with me and my family (virtually). She shipped all the ingredients and instructions couple days before the lesson. Very easy to follow and tasteful spices.
