Very good - highly recommend. Not only were various regional recipes provided, but extensive insights given on ingredient choices and their benefits. Also, helpful techniques on handling and usage of ingredients was offered. There is a vegetarian emphasis on all recipes, but they were so good meat was never missed nor necessary. Oh yes, the fresh baked bread and almond hummus that greeted us was outstanding.

This cooking class was everything I had hoped for PLUS more! Chef Kaylyn is organized and well educated. We cooked a healthy delicious meal and learned some kitchen skills. All the other participants were nice too. It was a fun class! I’ve already signed up for another. The meal includes gluten free ingredients. Start the year right by learning how to eat healthy and get valuable cooking hints too! Win Win!

CLASS: FLAVORS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN on Fri 01/05

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 The kitchen at Cafe Sol was a bit tight on space for 12 people and the kitchen knives and utensils were old and outdated.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.

January 3-Day Cleanse

Kalyn truly has a unique gift of being able to express love through food. Her passion and knowledge for health is unparalleled and it shows through in the expression of her delicious creations. It's truly obvious how much Kalyn loves and hones her craft. It was a rare treat to be so taken care of by her from start to finish with ALL of our meals and drinks. She put so much thought and dedication to planning and creating a menu which could support and heal us through food. She truly embodies the great truth that food IS life and that it can be both delicious and healing and attainable to us all. I highly recommend taking an opportunity to be nurtured by Kalyn and the food she creates.
