About

I have been in the food industry for 20 years, but teaching isn't just cooking, it is personal. I started teaching when I had children of my own...and realized that not everyone can really fill a personal need. Trusting someone to lead you by example means they need to be a good example. I love see people become empowered with their cooking skills.

I went to a class with Stephanie about making croissant type doughnuts. I haven't been able to figure out how to make them. She gave some excellent tips that I was able to use immediately in all of my cooking! Her class was pretty fun, she's pretty flexible when people ask her some interesting question and was able to make everything look really easy to do. If something went wrong, I couldn't tell. She makes me feel like I can be the best "chef" I can be!!!

I have witnessed firsthand Stephanie's vibrant personality and the positive and upbeat way in which she teaches and shares her cooking knowledge with her classes as well as on a personal level. I have taken personal cooking classes from Stephanie, worked alongside her in some very intense presentation situations, and been witness to her genius as she conducts a cooking class for over 50 people. She has a dynamic personality and a contagious giggle - and a flair for culinary genius. She has a way of breaking down the most complex recipie into simple steps that almost anyone can follow.

Normally, I wouldn't give 5 stars so easily, but Chef Tess is impressive not only as a chef, but in character as well. I took a rather large group of kids and a couple of adults to one of her cooking classes and was AMAZED at her ability to engage and control the group. Several of the children have ADHD, and yet with Stephanie's warmth, laughter and sincerity, that group was all hers. She was professional, canny, and witty, and we were laughing with her almost the entire time. The quality of the instruction as well as the food went above and beyond my expectations. As a lover and connoisseur of healthy and REAL food, Chef Tess is definitely gifted and ready to teach and impress.

Energetic, bubbly and that's only the beginning. Easy instructions and she's open to interaction with her class. Sometimes her classes are hands on. When she has her kids classes she makes it easy for kids to understand and follow. Love her classes and cookbooks. Can't wait till her next class here in CA.

Stephanie Petersen has been our guest speaker/teacher a couple times at our Sweet-Stops events. You can't help but 'catch on' to what she is teaching because of her enthusiasm, knowledge, and love for whatever she is doing. Looking forward to more classes. (The truth is.....doesn't matter what she teaches....it's worth your time)

Ironically, it wasn't until I had children that I decided to become an instructor. It fit my family's lifestyle and being able to control my own schedule is very important. Baking and cooking have long been a passion of mine, but seeing people learn to take-on a new skill has been powerful beyond words!
