"I keep the handouts from Heidi’s classes in my recipe stand and refer to them often. In her classes, I really appreciated the excellent organization, the jokes, the tasting and the tidbits of information about local shops and cooking techniques. I always check the new list to see which courses might work for me. I thoroughly recommend these classes."

"I enjoyed Heidi’s friendly and informative dialogue with the students and felt welcome immediately. I especially benefited from her willingly-shared tricks of the trade, including ingredient substitutions and chopping techniques. But the meal was the highlight of the entire evening -it was absolutely sublime! My taste buds experienced true bliss that night thanks to her gastronomic prowess! It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Chef Heidi’s cooking classes. They broaden culinary horizons and delight the palate!"

"Heidi’s classes are awesome! Heidi provides in-depth knowledge of ingredients, the best local sources, and the how and why of a wide range of cooking techniques. From the right way to cut a lime, to the best place in town to buy fresh herbs or exotic spices, Heidi generously shares her professional secrets. Her small, personalized class size allows for student interaction, questions, and a close-up view of the action at the stove! As if this weren’t enough, we get to eat all the amazing food she cooks in class – don’t eat dinner first! Fantastic value, and no wonder her classes fill up within an hour or two of registration opening. I am a “fan for life” (12 classes and many more to come!)"

"Heidi’s teaching was wonderful beyond imagination. Her calmness, competence, humor and charm made the experience rewarding in itself. I learned how to chop fresh vegetables correctly and efficiently, and how to quickly and easily do many of the small things I had formerly struggled with. She effortlessly taught both technique and a positive attitude. Sharing the meal and making new friends added even more to the already great experience. Since I live in the States, I have to take a ferry and stay in a hotel for a night in order to take Heidi’s classes, but it is well worth the extra time, money and effort. I recommend ALL of her classes — enroll and enjoy!!"
