For The Love Of Food

Itook the "Think Like a Chef" Bootcamp...it was fabulous! Chef Diane is a terrific, encouraging teacher. Not only did she teach us new skills, she also taught us how to correct the mistakes we made; all in a positive manner. I gained new skills that I will be put to use daily. Thanks Chef Diane for a great week! more

My husband and I attended Cook With Your Honey Wine Dinner. We had an enjoyable evening and met some fun people. However, we did not do any cooking. We chose seared duck breast as our dish. We prepared the duck, very simple, and chopped a few veggies. We were told the chef would help us "cook duck later". Never happened. We were eating appetizers when we realized the chef was cooking the duck across the kitchen. Not only did we not have a hands on cooking experience, we didn't even get a demo. One more thing that really bothered me. We were preparing a dinner with 14 other people, we knew none of them. Never was it suggested, or even offered, that we wash our hands. So we ate a dinner prepared by hands that may, or may not have been washed any time recently. YUCK! Would not recommend this "cooking school" Have had much better experience elsewhere. more

Dear Chef Diane, Thank you for a very special six weeks of cooking classes. I was concerned that the course would be too remedial for my modest knowledge of the culinary arts. As the weeks went on, I was pleased with the many new skills and techniques I learned under your tutelage. You advertised your classes will help you think like a chef and that is exactly what was delivered. My confidence level to experiment in the kitchen has greatly increased! I recommend your class to anyone who wants to be a better cook. I will wear my For The Love of Food chef's coat with much pride. Jeff more
