About
What if you could be more comfortable, more capable, and more playful in the kitchen? How great would it feel to prepare dinner with confidence that it’ll be delicious? I offer cooking lessons to help you master exactly what you want to learn in the kitchen. Each lesson is tailored to your goals and dietary preferences. Or perhaps you’re reconnecting with friends and want to mark the occasion with a special dinner. I offer Cooking Lesson Dinner Parties in which your group learns to cook together and celebrates its shared efforts with a feast! And if you want to skip the cooking entirely and find dinner waiting in your fridge, cooked just for your family and ready when you are -- I do that too!

We had a fantastic experience with Gather Round Family Chef service as support following the birth of my second child. I knew cooking would be difficult and getting take out frequently would not serve my healing process. Gather Round's nutritious and delicious meals allowed me to focus time bonding with my baby and still take care of myself!

Ariel is running a very impressive business for busy working families she built from the ground up. She will work with you to customize meals, cook in your kitchen, and therefore save your life. I recommend her to anyone.

Ariel was a real pro! She made the entire event both fun and easy. We made dumplings and fried rice with ten 6th graders and they were all engaged and active...learning too! Thank you Ariel!

Working with Ariel was an incredible delight--not only did she inspire creativity, curiosity, and owning my love for food, but she also instilled a quiet confidence in me that allows me to now whip up something to eat based on ingredients I have. I have noticed a profound shift in my quality of diet and life as I have learned skills to provide for myself and connect to food in my own unique way. Ariel is calm, grounding, fun, and empathetic. She got my cooking skills where I needed them in order to thrive. Highly recommend as a cooking instructor!
