Introduction: I take pride in being able to compose great dishes whether there be health concerns, food allergies, or just following a diet plan. I also enjoy all types of cuisine and try to incorporate that into my menus and recipies. I like to turn something simple into a dish with layers of flavor and vibrate in color that draws people in. Being able to explore ingredients and turn them into something unexpected. Being able to create a dish based on your ideas and have it turn out to be a success is something I take pride in. Also watching people try something they have never eaten before and having it put a smile on their face is a great feeling.

Christina contacted me to be certain how I would want the entree prepared for my party. She made a delicious lemon chicken and cut the pieces to my specification. There was a generous amount of food for my guests. She delivered the food at the agreed time and included all the sauces, dressings and garnishes. The chicken was very tender. My guests were pleased as was I was I.

Christina was a great cooking instructor. We gave her our dietary restrictions & requirements and she developed the menu. We enjoyed learning new techniques and the food was excellent. The ginger carrot soup was the biggest hit and enjoyed again last night. Thanks Christina!!

Christina was absolutely phenomenal, professional and patient. I enjoyed every second of her meal and appreciated her taking the time out to accommodate my partner and I on such an important event. We enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend her! Thank you Christina.

I cannot wait for my next class with Christina! I told her I wanted to start with the basics of cooking, and she was never condescending with me. On the contrary she was very encouraging of my efforts. She also had great tips for cutting, knowing when something is cooked well enough, etc. Christina is a great cook and a warm, patient, and encouraging person--exactly what you want in a teacher!
