Confident Cooking, You can do it too!

The past few months have been full of private events, classes and even some surprise highlights. I feel honored to have worked with so many clients and inspiring new creations and confident cooking for your families. I truly love hearing when clients share their individual success stories.

Sadly the large group classes are finished for now as I prepare to welcome baby #2 in July. I may host one or two classes in the fall like the ever popular “No Cooking Required” Entertaining with Cheese Plates or other Holiday Entertaining Success Secrets but it is too early to say. Please let me know if there is a topic of interest for you.

As always you can easily connect with me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to ask questions and see what I am up to. Highlights for the summer are new baby needs and putting in a large edible garden. I am so excited!

I will still be hosting a few private events and clients if you would like to talk more achieving your specific culinary goals, making cooking and entertaining easier, or have questions about hosting a private event please contact me here. I look forward to continuing to work with people like you. I love making the world a better place through quality food and the connections that happen when we share a meal together.

Much love,

Rachel

Here is a quick look some of the client success and recent fun events.

"Rachel, I made chicken wings tonight with the Indian seasoning.  They were spectacular – both of us enjoyed them.  I did as you suggested and sautéed them in oil/butter until crispy, and then put half on a sheet pan and half in the covered skillet with a couple of ice cubes of stock and baked for 45 minutes.  Both were delicious…the ones that were braised were slightly more moist, which is what you said to expect, but both were oh-so-good.  Next time I’ll add a bit of salt and they’ll be perfect. I’m much more clear about my tastes and preferences now. I’m thrilled at all I learned, how patient and instructive you are how confident I am now that I can use the “guidelines” you gave me.  Thanks again for all you research, enthusiasm and guidance! Again, thank you thank you thank you!"  Marcie L

"Before working with Rachel I was not cooking often and eating a lot of processed foods. Now I know how to cook a variety of things using basic skills. The most valuable thing I learned is how to mix and match ingredients making meals with what I have on hand. This helps me by not having to run to the grocery store so often. I take away lots of ideas for easy cooking." Ashley D
