Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hey everyone! I am doing cooking lessons now Via Zoom! $30/person! Please DM for more info. I provide a fun work environment so we are not only learning but really enjoying the process. My goal is to bring excitement and ease in the kitchen for everyone to enjoy. I work with all ages and love a challenge when clients want to learn something more difficult and experiment! We've now opened a staffing agency to boot so I have several talented ATL cooks and chefs and bartenders that can help with your events! Want a bartending class for you and a group of friends? Date night with hubby? Would you like to do a cooking lesson with your kids & their friends for a birthday party? We got you! I love seeing people's reactions when they take a bite and no words....just a smile.

Lauren was great for our family. She helped us shop, prep, and prepare the food in a fun and informative way. I would recommend her services to anyone who wants to take cooking to the next level whatever that level may be.

This was an AWESOME experience. It was my first time doing anything like this. Last week was my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted to do something experiential. We have been looking to hone in on our cooking skills and I thought this would be the perfect way to do it. Lauren was phenomenal. We talked on the phone a couple times to solidify a menu that was fun, interactive, but above all functional. I wanted to learn things I could recreate over and over again. We landed on a beautiful salad, a butter parlsey lemon salmon dish and chocolate mousse :) She showed up, we went to the market and went food shopping together. We learned a ton about fresh ingredients and what to look for. Then we got to work!! It was an absolute blast, Lauren was hilarious and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I reach out to all potential clients with my services and pricing via messaging on Thumbtack. If a client has not responded after a week I usually follow up just to make sure they're still interested. I know life can get busy so I'm here to make things easier.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I started out cooking on food network shows as well as on set on commercials TV and films. I later decided that I'd like to do my own thing & cooking lessons were a natural progression and I love to teach!!

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I've worked with couples, individual, & group parties as well as celebrities families. My nephews especially, they are 5 and 10 years old and love to cook with me!
