I have hired Chef Jackie Newgent to cater a party of mine in the past; everything she made was so fresh and delicious! All dishes were beautifully presented. I finally had time to take a private cooking class from her and was equally impressed. I now know the right way to hold a chef's knife, slice scallions on a bias and "cream" garlic. Cooking with Chef Jackie is a fun experience! I highly recommend both her personal chef work AND her private cooking lessons!

As a complete culinary novice, I hired Jackie to enhance my limited knowledge. Throughout our sessions, Jackie trained me how to cook numerous, diverse and delicious meals. She is truly an incredible instructor; with unparalleled experience. Regardless of a person's proficiency or goals, I would highly recommend he/her to hire Jackie.

So thoughtful of you to provide this review, Steve! Jackie

Working with Chef Jackie was amazing. She was very responsive to all our requests, and came up with great menu ideas that we were excited about. At the cooking class, she was organized, clear, and friendly. She made the cooking feel very low-pressure and fun, while giving us really valuable information and cooking tips. We loved everything we made, and felt really well-prepared to recreate the recipes at home. It was a fantastic experience.

It's rare I get to take cooking lessons from someone that's both a chef and a nutritionist. Not only can I now use a chef's knife properly and do wonderful things with avocado and mango (including making tropical mango-avocado guacamole!), I know some tricks to make healthy foods more flavorful. Jackie provides a great experience all around!

Jacinthe! It was so much fun cooking with you, Risa & Erika! Thanks so much for this review! Jackie
