When I first showed up on Suzanne's doorstep last fall, I didn't even know how to hold a knife,…read moremuch less use one. To me, an oven was 'that thing in the kitchen with lots of knobs on it, taking up space.' I blame a decade of living in Manhattan after college, a college cafeteria that was actually good, and even before that, lovely parents who probably took care of too many things themselves. Flash forward to six months ago, and there I was: a recent transplant to Marin--apparently, a land of dinner parties. I felt hopeless, and knew I'd soon have to start hosting guests at my house. Gulp. Then I found Suzanne! She is calm, kind, knowledgeable, and fun. Low-key, but somehow still high-energy. It's an excellent combination for a cooking instructor. Most of her classes feel like small gatherings of friends, even when no one knows each other--and that's really a credit to Suzanne. I've made lots of wonderful things in class, and successfully replicated them later, at home. I've also learned skills there--not just recipes--so I'm generally able to find my way around the kitchen much better than before. I haven't hosted a super fancy dinner party quite yet, but my oven is no longer something strange and vaguely scary. Learning how to cook properly is a true life skill--one I really wish I'd picked up earlier! So in a way, Suzanne has changed my life :) I'm not a beginner anymore, but I still go to her classes often. Lots of people who can already cook go, too--just to learn some new tricks and tips. I always learn something! I also just think they make for a fun evening. And if there's any other complete beginners out there... Trust me, if I can do it, you can!!

She taught us some basic technique, as well as secret tricks of the trade. I highly recommend that you sign up for a class. You'll be glad you did!

It's been a while since my wife and I participated in one of Miyoko's Kitchen cooking classes but we follow her on Instagram (@miyokoscreamery) every day. The same type of recipes and cooking instructions are being given out freely by this generous soul. I can't recommend checking them out or following her on Instagram enough. All of the recipes she's posted so far have been excellent and we continue to learn so much, just like we did in her in-person classes. The variety in our vegan menu has benefited greatly as a result of the knowledge Miyoko's been willing to share. We absolutely appreciate her and everyone that works with her companies to bring such amazing vegan products to the market. We love them all. I'm just so glad they're readably available in our area. Thanks to Miyoko all that you do for our planet and animals. You are admired and appreciated every day by my family and all of our friends that we've introduced your products to over the years.

When the class was over, she gave us the recipes for the meals we cooked to take with us. Since the class, we have made every dish multiple times and love them. We will definitely schedule another session to soak up some more of Valerie's expertise. We highly recommend Valerie and Tutti Benvenuti!!

They are not some new agers from Marin trying to make a buck off of a trend, they are loving kind peeps who really care about what goes in your body. Shivie is my inspiration: she lost pretty much a whole person in weight and by choice gave up a successful career that was slowly killing her. She turned her devotion to health and wholeness in the direction of food a few years ago, and I couldn't be happier ( though I miss my Kundalini classes). Her and Cemaaj's raw food is exceptional. Kale chips are light and spicy. Wraps taste like everything in them (not just one mushed up flavor). gRAWnola is wonderful with yogurt in the morning or just as a snack. Crackers, pizza...each is a mouthful of wonderful combinations of flavors. Even though I am quite versed in raw cuisine, I think I will take one of their classes in the new year. Next time you see them at the Farmers Market...go for it! Your stomach and body will be so proud of you.

The tour took place in Richmond and last for about 3 hours in which we visited 10 different restaurants and learned about the history of the city through the food. It was super interesting and tasty! Mashav has a great knowledge and information and she is super excited to share it! Through out the tour she always made sure we are having fun and that everything is ok.

My story: Years ago, I had an intolerance to gluten, irritability and struggled with eating healthily. Maria decided to guide me in a cleanse. When I say cleanse, it was more like taking some important supplements, but more importantly revamping my cooking by eating amazingly delicious healing recipes. She's an incredible chef! Yes, even during a cleanse! She doesn't ask you to suffer at all during her cleanses! If anything, you feel lucky to be a fly on her kitchen wisdom. The cleanse with her reset my gut and now although i don't eat gluten all the time, I can eat it without wanting to falling asleep or getting super cranky. After years of being gluten intolerant, it was amazing! I completely trust Maria with all my women's health needs and now my clients needs. In all honesty, she's better than any doctor (Western or Integrative) I've ever worked with! As an aside, she is not vegan, but I am an ethical vegan - and she worked respectfully with me to honor my ethical needs too. About Maria: She's incredibly meticulous and detail oriented. She's not your typical throw you in a box nutritionist. She really pays attention to your full history, the timing of the changes in your life and how that has effected your health and how to move forward. She's an amazing researcher, because she's passionate about her work and working for you as a unique individual. She is nothing short of an ally. I send all my super smart clients to her too and she always has more to teach them. I highly recommend her to all my clients and to YOU!
