We haven't got to the cooking part yet, but Sue has been proactive, very responsive and highly helpful in working with us to achieve our goals. I am looking forward to working with her.

This is my first experience taking cooking classes and it has been fantastic. I am finally enjoying cooking healthy without having to sacrifice flavor. Sue has walked me through the process with graceful patience and has made this experience so much fun. I'm glad I finally decided to do this, also very grateful Thumbtack helped me make this search process an easy one. I just relocated and it was scary not having relatives or friends to guide me.

Sue was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. Not only did she thoughtfully prepare delicious food for our family but also prepared and served us whenever we were home. She couldn't wait to help us and was always one step ahead of the game. I would highly recommend Sue.

Having Sue in our home was delightful! We settled on a menu and she she went over and above to please. She was very neat and clean and organized. She had some good suggestions and a delicious hummus (homemade). Her desert got rave reviews from our guests. The kitchen was spotless when she left and I got to spend time with our guests! We will definitely use her again!
