Recent reviews of Cooking Class: Easy Weeknight Meals
- 5/5 from Amy Andersen, attended Jan 2026: Elham was very kind and helpful. This was our first time taking a cooking class and first time going to someone’s home for an event but she made us feel very welcome. We had a great group of people taking the class and really enjoyed our conversations over the new dinners we learned to make.
- 5/5 from Lynn Dobieski Harper, attended Nov 2025: My son, his fiancée and I had a wonderful evening with Chef Elham in her welcoming home. We were looking for easy quick and delicious weekday meals and we learned 4 of them thanks to the Chefs well prepared and well organized class. All were yummy but the pizza was out of this world. We learned some very useful knife skills and cooking tricks. We can’t wait to come back and bring more family
- 5/5 from Arabela Espinoza, attended Jan 2024: Chef Elham's weeknight meals class was such a success. I absolutely loved that we each got to pick a recipe and be in charge of cooking it ourselves. Sometimes with other classes, we end up just seeing the chef take over but this was great. Intimidating at first (especially if you are a total newbie in the kitchen like me) but Chef Elham was there to guide us or give us tips if we were unsure and the ambience was awesome. I would highly recommend taking a class with Chef Elham if you want to expand your kitchen knowledge and actually practice cooking. :)
- 5/5 from Wally Williams, attended Jan 2024: Liked the meals selected to cook, I hadn’t had many of the spices used before. There were 9 of us for which we had to wait to use the stove.
