Cooking Classes and Events



I have been a nationally recognized cooking instructor for over 25 years. My private in-home classes and public appearances are limited due to my commitments as a wife and mother; however, I'm usually very welcoming of those opportunities. Allow 3 weeks to pre-schedule. Your cost will vary depending on the topic and length of class, but it generally starts at $65 per person for groups of 10 or more for private in-home instruction. Classes are usually two hours. 

When the minimum group number is reached, the host receives the class for free. Some classes also include take-home products. Please inquire.

I am a devout Christian, so I'm happy to help with your efforts to assist your ward or congregation.
It may be necessary to include nominal traveling fees if you are more than an hour from my home. Please remember that this is how I support my family, and I am the primary breadwinner. If I cannot come and speak at your event, it usually isn't personal; I'm trying to find a balance.
