Introduction: I believe in meeting a potential client where they are at. Food is very, very personal and nutrition can be confusing, there is a lot of misinformation out there today. My clientele ranges from large groups wanting to understand how to shop and prepare healthy food on a budget to athletes who need to understand what real food can do for them, their bodies while increasing their performance. It is all about understanding how people learn.I have loved working with food since I can remember. I truly enjoy learning different ways to teach people about food, cooking and nutrition. Most people love food, however it can be intimidating. After teaching a cooking class, I am truly moved by the number of people who are shocked by what they learned they can do. This is what I love about my job.

Lisa taught cooking to our daughter. Lisa was an awesome coach and knows so much about food, recipes and the science behind food. My daughter looked forward to Lisa's class every week, and loved her company. Often, they would continue discussions about food way beyond scheduled time. Lisa always went above and beyond the recipes, and explained the science behind cooking, reasons why processes worked the way they did, and ideas for taste variations and improvements. Lisa has experience with a wide range of cuisines - pastries, desserts, american, asian, italian, and many others. We loved eating up the food after classes. She is dedicated to educating students and recommended many local university/school classes that could help my daughter get to the next level in cooking. Lisa is an outstanding cooking coach, and we recommend her at the highest level for adults and young aspiring cooks alike.

Lisa prepares wonderful, mouth-watering, healthy and nutritious meals. She has an extensive repertoire of recipes...all satisfying and unique. Her meals cured me from raiding the cookie jar at night! I highly recommend her.

Cooking teacher for my daughter. Dedicated, knowledgeable, easy to get along with. The classes were informative, and kept my daughter very engaged throughout. Lisa taught for over a year, and the kids loved her. Very personable. Highly recommended.
