Testimonials

It is amazing the transformation my child has undergone from hesitant helper to lead cook. She is so confident and thoughtful in the kitchen. She is comfortable making the recipes from your lessons even if we don't have exact ingredients and she is trying new recipes, too. She looks forward to the lessons - they are on her calendar with a big heart around it. Many thanks for doing these classes!- Jennine, mom to E

Kate's cooking classes are practical, fun and delicious! She brings everything you need and gives clear directions so that you can recreate the recipes again. The conversation is great too!- Becca

Kate has been teaching my daughter to cook for years: we’ve done weekly classes and camps, and my daughter still looks forward to every class. Kate chooses new, fun and exciting things to make, and my fussy eater eats it all up! Cooking is such an important skill to learn, and kids love learning with their friends. Can highly recommend Kate and her classes!- Heather C, mom to R

What you are doing is incredibly impactful. Thanks for bringing joy to our weeks!- Patty, mom to E 

My kids LOVE taking cooking classes with Kate! She makes it so fun and it’s wonderful to see the kids build confidence in their skills and broaden their picky palettes a bit.- Sarah D

Kate is not only a wonderful chef, she is patient, kind, and great with children of all ages! She worked with our group of kids to organize a week-long summer camp and was prepared and accommodating regarding all dietary needs. Highly recommend for your budding cooks!- Lauren F

I worked with Kate to create a customized, in-person cooking class menu. She provided a few dish options — taking into account food allergies and our preferred cuisine — which we narrowed down to a main pasta dish, side, and dessert. Day of, Kate provided all of the ingredients and equipment. She led us through each step in the recipes, providing context and tips to improve our technique and skills throughout. Kate is skilled, personable, and makes cooking a lot of fun! Highly recommend!- Emma V

Kate is a joy and my son has participated in Cooking with Kate for over a year. It is an absolutely wonderful class that not only is fun, but introduces kiddos to new scents, flavors, textures, helps develop fine motor skills, allows them to practice measuring/counting, and welcomes them into the world of food. My incredibly picky child tried new flavors and textures and *loved them*. Kate is smart, engaging, and endlessly patient. We can’t wait for the next session!- Arielle, mom to B

I have learned so much from taking Kate's cooking class. She teaches me something new every time. Her knowledge of food and knife skills/instruction are amazing. You must take a class from Kate.- Kerri

My kids love to try new things when Kate teaches them how to prepare dishes! They love her hands-on classes and her kind, warm personality—they feel like grown-ups with her. Plus she's got the patience of a saint.- Christy

The confidence your classes have instilled in my daughter is INSANE! - Sandra, mom to J

Kate's cooking classes have been one of the best silver linings of this crazy time. My 7-year-old can now use a real kitchen knife and make pasta from scratch, and I've been amazed at how much both of my kids' palates have expanded. My white-pasta-with-butter-loving children now regularly request things like vegetable summer rolls and spinach pesto pasta with green beans for dinner! The food is also unfailingly delicious. My husband and I are always genuinely excited to eat what the kids have made.- Jen, mom to C

I think the classes have helped me get more comfortable in the kitchen, and Kate is very good about answering questions that I have. She goes at a great pace, and makes the classes fun!

Kate’s wise, patient and relaxed approach makes the kitchen seem less intimidating and more fun. My daughter loved the class she took and we hope to do more!

I just love your classes. They are very engaging. We feel like we are there with you even after going virtual! I never feel overwhelmed and it has given my daughter and I some quality time together that we look forward to each week!

Cooking with Kate is like cooking with a lifetime friend who gets you. - Kim

You are awesome! Having done other online courses, you are the best, most responsive teacher. And you made “date night” fun with my hubby of 25 years.- Virginia

Enjoyed your excellent class! Lovely communication style, the dishes are yummy, and appreciate the tool suggestions.

You have such a nice conversational way about you while maintaining such authority/authenticity as you work.

E started taking classes towards the beginning of quarantine and she never wants to miss a week. The teen and adult classes are awesome, too! Kate creates a lovely, fun, learning environment over the internet. She prepares the same thing in real time, so the pace is great and she can troubleshoot any problems or substitutions. And the food is delicious!- mom to E

You do a great job of making [class] a personal, shared experience. I don't know how you do it with a remotely, but you do!

You have such easy command of what you are doing and with continuous repartee - sweet, authoritative, not pandering - and a great vocabulary! You bring everyone along with you.- Ellen

The way you speak to people is extremely engaging; it draws people in. You intuit problems if people ask questions. You are really good at what you do!- Kim

 You are so patient and talented in delivering instruction.- Karen

Kate hosted an amazing cooking class for our team at our office location. I gave her a couple of loose parameters and she came up with two amazing recipes, brought all of the supplies and ingredients, and led us through an absolutely delightful evening. Thank you so much for making this special for my team and making it easy for me. You have a real talent for this stuff.- Matt Lingard, VP Bright Farms

My daughter loves the class and loves you. The look of pride on her face when she has us taste what she made is priceless. She’s gaining so much more than cooking skills! I can’t thank you enough!!- Stephanie, mom to H

Kate is so warm and easy to be around. She's direct with the instructions but allows the little ones to have freedom to explore as well. A very calm and sweet environment every time.- Rachel, mom to B
