Instructor Kailyn was very knowledgeable and friendly. Had great substitution ideas for making meals and snacks healthy. The other people in class were fun. Very enjoyable class would highly recommend. The food we cooked was outstanding.

My first class with Kalyn. A bit chaotic given the small kitchen space but enjoyed the recipes and tips. The food was very good and look forward to other classes I have signed up for.

Such a talented chef and energetic health enthusiast She made healthy cooking fun and informative. Her zest for nutrition is contagious. Primarily a meat based Midwesterner, I've been cooking plant based since tasting her healthy treats and cuisine . Take a class it may just open up a whole new world for you .

Great class, excellent instruction, recipes and culinary information. The group was great fun, interesting and the meal we ate together at the end, allowed each group to report on the details of preparation. A great experience. The bread and hummus were incredible, the gnocchi's delicious, the salad superb and all those superlatives were deserved. AND, who knew that our host's banana ice cream can be eaten any day, any time? But it was special with the poached stuffed pears and date sauce?

CLASS: MASALA MAGIC – EXPLORING INDIAN CUISINE on Fri 10/03

Had a great time (and a delicious meal) at the Flavors of the Mediterranean class. The menu is crafted with a very refreshing emphasis on using pure & quality ingredients, and of understanding what is actually in the food you are eating; the meal you are making not only tastes great, but is clean and healthy. While the pacing of the class is somewhat quick, there is no need to be intimidated - ample clear instruction & supervision on technique & equipment are provided, making the class fun & suitable for people of all skill levels. Everyone in the class was very friendly and helpful, and the vibe was very relaxed and chill throughout the evening. Yes, you will work, but the rewards - learning new skills, new dishes, and sitting down to a great meal with a bunch of very cool people - are well worth it. Recommended!

We had a great time at our cooking class and enjoyed the variety of the recipes we tasted that evening. The Cafe Sol dining room was set up nicely and we enjoyed the company of the people we met that night. The kitchen at Cafe Sol was a bit tight on space for 12 people and the kitchen knives and utensils were old and outdated. We would have enjoyed the class more with a smaller group and better cooking equipment. Our instructor was delightful and shared great tips with the group about nutrition, cooking techniques and recipes. Love the class concept and hope to connect with the instructor again in the future.
