“Working with and learning from Heather is like learning from a best friend or an older sister. She’s attentive, knowledgeable, thoughtful about recipes and ingredients, and easy to follow. Her tricks and tips have made my cooking life easier! I have many of her notes bookmarked on my phone or saved as screenshots to reference them regularly. She’s also great with food allergies or sensitivities—she can adjust any recipe!

“Having Heather’s guidance and support to plan my party for 30+ people was a lifesaver. She helped me make a menu that was partly homemade and partly store-bought so the party had the right blend of personal but doable for me to get it all done! She gave me recipes and shopping lists, helped me plan my time, and even answered my questions while at the grocery store! She encouraged me and helped me streamline with tips and tricks for every aspect of my party – even table layout! She made it all easier and better at the same time! Heather is now my go-to party girl!”

“I recommend Heather because she takes care to learn what you know and to inform you about what you don’t know. She is also very knowledgeable about what she is doing. From her 1-to-1 lesson, I learned many things, including but not exclusive to knife care, how to cut certain things in different ways, how to cook different meals, and how to properly use kitchen tools.”

Heather masterfully juggles the many competing tasks in the kitchen with efficiency and thoughtfulness. As a student, I’ve learned basic and more advanced kitchen skills from Heather and the why behind some important dos and don’ts. (Do tenderize your chicken; don’t refrigerate your peaches + how to cook your eggs in a steel pan!) She’s educated me on cuisine I might have otherwise overlooked and helped me build a successful meal-prepping strategy.
