Dear Kim,

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about my first cooking class with you. Your setting is ideal for learning. Your preparation, presentation style, knowledge, and culinary skills are outstanding. The content of the Tapas class was ambitious and complex, which you handled with ease. Each of the menu items presented was unique, tasty, and well worth making again. In addition, the camaraderie of the other students was absolutely delightful. I know I will return again and again. And recommend your classes to everyone I know.

Recipe: Pork Roast with Pancetta

Cookbook: The Food of Morocco

Recipe of the Month: Pork Roast with Pancetta This is a wonderful pot roast recipe and a favorite at my Holiday Dinner Party class last year. Don’t be tempted to cut this recipe in half because the leftovers make great sandwiches and quesadillas. You can see this recipe and other "recipes of the month" by clicking here.

Cookbook of the Month: The Food of Morocco by Paula Wolfert I received this wonderful cookbook for Christmas. It has many Moroccan recipes that are not in any of my other Moroccan cookbooks. It has beautiful photographs, history, and lots of stories. I’m looking forward to experimenting with these recipes soon. You can see more information about this book and other of my favorites by clicking here.

Hi Kim, The class, the food, and most especially the company was just wonderful! We so enjoyed ourselves. I was dreaming about the cake last night and wished I brought a piece home. Now I'm motivated to make it. I will be telling others about your cooking classes and wine. Thank you so much!
Warm Regards,
Laurie

Dear Kim and Mark, We had a most delightful time in the pleasure of your company, and learned new cooking skills and ate wonderful food in the process. Food clearly creates memories- and you did a magnificent job of creating memories for all of us. Kim, Bill, Carolyn, Megan, Rachael, Ben, and Marcine


	... Also, just wanted you to know I leave your classes saying that was the very best class ever then I attend another class only to think no, that was the best class. How you keep topping yourself is a real tribute to you and your dedication and love of cooking and wonderful teaching skills. Thanks so much, Donna
