"This was a great cooking class — perfect for me, someone who is not very experienced. Kathryn was very engaging and I feel confident about trying these recipes on my own."

"Kathryn is indefatigable. Her knowledge, energy, and interest in her students and classes enthuses you to go home and stretch your boundaries in the kitchen."
