What Students Have to Say
I really enjoyed my cooking class with Chef Ellen. She is so energetic- never a dull moment! The best thing, though, is that she has given me the knowledge and confidence to start enjoying the time I spend in the kitchen-not dread it! -Laurie B.
I just want to take the time to thank you for your expertise as well as your patience in working with us. We had a wonderful time and learned a lot! We certainly hope to schedule another session in the near future. = ) - Heena
Chef Ellen, I was in your class and LOVED IT!!!!! Came home and talked all night about it. I can't wait to put the recipes out to my family. THANK YOU AGAIN. Your cooking friend, - John L
I wanted to commend Ellen Schwartz, for what a fine job she does. It seems you get MORE than you pay for. We arrived at a newly remodeled kitchen with clean aprons and kitchen towels for students' use. After the first session she took a vote to see what foods we would like to have in the upcoming sessions. The class offered a good mixture of student participation and teacher lecture. She goes much further than your average TV classes, adding processes and techniques used by professional chefs. Finally, Chef Ellen responded quickly by e-mail to each of us with the recipes we prepared in class. I highly recommend her classes. -Ted K.
Ellen, the class on sauces grabbed my attention when reading the Leisure Learning booklet. When I tasted the vermouth with the brined chicken, I was elated! I'm not a wine drinker but did that ever taste good! And then you went over the top when you used the beer with the beef. I feel that the time and money spent on this course was MORE than well spent!!! I'm looking forward to Monday night and thanks for all you've taught me to date. -Jim B.
