Cooking With Chef Narisa
About
I am a personal chef with a diverse culinary background, once you’ve taken one of my classes you will have a different perspective of cooking
My past experience was working at New York Vintners, where we host cooking classes alongside wine pairings.
I have taught hands on classes such as pasta making, fresh mozzarella making and pizza making. I have hosted classes such as Italian food, Creole, West Indian, Korean BBQ, and a few other wine and food pairings
I am qualified with an Associates Degree and I have worked at New York Vintners for six years, where my knowledge of wine pairings have been broadened, I work alongside a sommelier Charles Springfield so if a wine pairings class is requested I will more than be able to collaborate

I enjoy the reactions I get once someone tries my cooking or when someone sees my work of art on my plate skills
