Comments about our Cooking Basics classes

"Mary’s approach allows you to participate in and view a really wide variety of techniques and dishes being made, and she is really gifted at making it fun. A really unique and valuable aspect to me was her science background that she used to go beyond the “what to do” to explaining what effect each ingredient/step had and why. Even my cooking-enabled friends seemed impressed by this. Extremely highly recommended, even for people well beyond neophytes like me."

"This class is great.  I can’t wait to start chopping, whipping and folding.  I learned a lot and ate some great food—all at a low, low price!"

"I thought this was a fabulous and diverse class where you learned a lot of things that you can switch up to your liking which I really enjoyed.  I also found Mary to be really friendly, informative and easy to ask questions to.  The food we ate here I thought was a lot better than you can get in restaurants.  Overall, a really great experience, thanks!"

"Great class.  I was a complete novice and now I can actually cook with some confidence.  Very fun!  Highly recommend this class."

"I really enjoyed the relaxed and casual nature of the class.  I have taken a cooking class at another cooking school and I much preferred the Generous Servings atmosphere.  Very enjoyable experience!"
