I loved Heidi’s classes! Three years later, I still use her recipes when I want to wow my friends and family with an ethnic feast. The tips she gives in her classes are very practical, and her classes are really fun and enjoyable. Oh, yeah — you also get to enjoy an awesome meal afterwards!

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!!
