Testimonials-Kitchen Coach Accounts

"Cooking with Shayne was a great experience from start to finish.  She really listened to what my interests were, and came up with a meal that far exceeded my expectations.  The dishes were thoughtful, balanced, and worked perfectly together in terms of color, texture, and flavor.  She taught me useful knife skills, cooking techniques, and gave interesting information during the lesson that could never be learned from a cookbook.  Shayne made learning how to cook easy and fun, and I've since repeated the meal twice.  I will definitely be taking future lessons from her and cannot wait to recommend her to my friends."
-Michelle, Architect

"My first cooking lesson with Shayne was a fantastic experience. Shayne is so knowledgeable about all things culinary, and she is extremely patient whether she’s teaching knife skills or explaining how to pit an avocado!  Plus, she has a great sense of humor and is very personable, so she made the whole evening so enjoyable. The finished meal was absolutely delicious (we had a Mexican fiesta).  I learned a lot and had a great time doing it!  I would definitely recommend Chef Shayne to anyone who’s interested in learning the basics of the kitchen and loves to have fun while cooking!"
-Marni, Cable TV Marketing Manager

"I used to always fear being in the kitchen and was the queen of take-out. Shayne taught me that cooking can be fun and simple. Using the new skills and techniques I learned not only am I now eating healthier and saving money cooking for myself, but I have also hosted small dinner parties for friends!"
-Becca, NBA Communications Coordinator

"Shayne's talent & knowledge in cooking allowed me to be more comfortable in the kitchen. Her hands on approach while you cook, gave me confidence to attempt new recipes and try out new techniques. She gave detailed information on every ingredient and displayed skills that are useful to acquire."
-Rob, Actor

“If you are looking for a “hands on” cooking lesson designed to fit your cooking needs in a smaller kitchen setting, I highly recommend using Chef Shayne’s services. She really knows how to prepare meals for you within your budget, time and kitchen space constraints.  She is so patient, organized and experienced. I have already prepared the meal we cooked several times for my friends and they were all very impressed.  I learned so much and can’t wait for my next lesson!”
-Carrie, PR Account Executive

"Shayne was an amazing teacher!  My friends and I had such a great time, it was more fun and probably a good bit cheaper than a night out for us.  And I've used the recipes and techniques a lot since our lesson, which is very impressive for me - pre-Shayne my idea of "cooking dinner" was pouring myself a bowl of cereal!"  
-Angie, Magazine Production Associate

"Shayne is a fantastic teacher...she paid attention to our group's interests and skill level and tailored a menu and lesson around our requests.  She was engaging, fun, educational...if I were the Michelin Guide of Cooking Teachers, I would give her five stars!"
-Amanda, Director of Marketing

"Cooking with Shayne was a truly inspirational experience.  My husband and I were constantly ordering in and eating out, then Shayne taught us that cooking can be fun and easy!  We are now cooking more at home and having fun doing it together.  Thanks Shayne!  We look forward to more cooking lessons with you."
-Melani, Marketing Manager

"Shayne did an amazing job by walking me through all the details to our meal. She gave great tips on what to do, showed me how and then let me take over.  I would never have thought of the ingredient combinations and am still today raving about it today. It was simply amazing. As a non cook, I couldn’t believe I prepared a full meal with days of yummy leftovers to keep me happy!  I didn’t feel like I was being lectured to. Shayne is so funny and has such an incredible personality, that outside of the learning and cooking, I had such a fun afternoon."
