What People Are Saying...
"Amy just taught a private class for a group of 15 of us.  It was absolutely wonderful!  Amy's class was well-organized and fun!  She is extremely knowledgeable and gave us all kinds of helpful tips.  And the food was absolutely delicious!!!  I am trying to think of the next time I can host a party just so I can hire Amy again."  - Andrea B, Burlingame

"When our children were very small, I got into the bad habit of making "kid food" for their dinners at around 5 pm, then making a 2nd, totally different meal for my partner and myself a couple of hours later. Amy has helped me transform our family's dinner eating culture. From "kid food" to wonderul, nutritionally complete dinners with all of us sitting down together. We're all eating salad now (I was the only one who did that before), and trying new veggies, and we make a "Chef Amy" recipe at least 5 times a month. Yum! Thanks Amy! " - Dayna C, Half Moon Bay

"We made the healthy salad for our super bowl party and everyone loved it!"  - Michelle B

"You gave us alot of great information and practical tips on planning healthy meals for the family. The "crazy banana shakes" are the best and my 11 month old is eating hummus now- who would have thought?!" - Chelsea J

"This morning, Jessie asked me to go buy zucchini and peel it b/c she wants to have some for lunch--She's a veggie girl now. Thanks, Amy." - Jenny W

"I want you to know that the glazed apricot chicken and the quinoa would clearly rate on the top five meals I have ever had in my life... The flavors were so amazing together--thank you, thank you." - Cara S
