My cooking class with Hasnah exceeded my expectations. She shed a whole new light on what it is to cook. This is my first time using thumbtack and I took a risk that was definitely worth it. Her knowledge of the kitchen and culinary world are extremely extensive. To be honest, I was intimidated at first but she relays the lesson in such a comfortable relatable environment that it felt like we were just two friends cooking and creating something together. The experience has made me want to explore my kitchen in ways I had never thought, and allowed me to narrow down and focus on what it is I am really interested in. So many things to learn! So many fun and creative culinary adventures to be had. Thank you so much. I left inspired and excited. :)

I conduct group and private cooking classes, in-home cooking parties, dinner parties, healthy shopping tours, corporate lunch and learns and luncheons and coach clients who want to improve the way they shop, cook and eat. I specialize in gluten-free, mostly dairy-free, low-sugar, naturally sweetened, and produce- and protein-rich whole foods meals. I can accommodate other food allergies and intolerances. I also have extensive experience with grain-free, low-carb, Paleo, primal, diabetic, and weight-loss diets and cooking. My customers and students love my enthusiasm; my extensive knowledge; the great-tasting, easy-to-prepare, and family-friendly recipes; and all of the practical, time-saving tips, techniques and nutrition facts I share. They are thrilled that they can reproduce the same results in their kitchens and enjoy more satisfying meals and better health as a result. Many of my clients use my cookbooks and cooking DVDs and tell their family and friends about how much they have learned and how my recipes, classes, and tools have changed their lives and their health. I've worked with singles, couples, families, schools, large and small businesses, service groups, and a variety of organizations.

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.

I prepare menus and cook meals specifically tailored to a person's taste and dietary needs. I am familiar with most diets, and I specialize in working with people who are diabetic or pre-diabetic.

I hired Derek to cater an party at my home for between 20 to 30 people. This included all the appetizers, which included, three kinds of sliders, an apricot goat cheese spread, guacamole(not your traditional guacamole), blue cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon and other scrumptious appetizers that my guests enjoyed. He also made sangria, both white and red. I have friends that were attending that are very picky and others that only eat fish and Derek was very responsive and accommodating to the different types of dietary needs for the group. He was cooking sliders so many of my guests were able to meet him and talk to him and he was very friendly and my guests loved him. I would definately use him again, in fact want him to do a more intimate dinner party for me in December.

I offer home cooking as either a personal chef or helping to plan and cook for parties. I also teach cooking classes from beginner to advanced. My experience in the kitchen and at school is helping to make me a culinary expert. I cook culinary and pastries; consulting is available to help plan for small parties.
