The class is accessible for everyone and she makes it very simple. She teaches and cook and there's a lot of interaction going on. She gives tips and talks about her own preferences. The part where we eat the food is quite amazing too. She offered us to taste different kind of cheeses and some home made sausages. She had make a pear cake that was amazing, we all had a piece. She's very generous and I felt I was a family member. Plus she served us a great wine. Thanks Yelp (got my place trough Yelp) for this super experience. I will book some classes with her soon for sure!!!

Helmed by Elena and Stefano Faita, two of the brightest lights and the best personalities in the local food scene, Mezza Luna specializes in Italian cuisine and offers a full range of classes on pasta, sausage, sauces, antipasti, etc. They're also very well-connected, so Mezza Luna also offers classes by such local luminaries as Chloé Gervais Fredette (les Chocolats de Chloé), Philippe De Vienne (Olives et Épices, La Dépense), and Martin Picard (Au Pied de Cochon). Their schedule is extremely popular and classes sell out fast, so don't dawdle. Class sizes are usually around 40. They're highly interactive and they always end with a family-style meal.

We had a destination wedding in Burlington and we can all confidently say that Chef Larry's food was one of the highlights of our special weekend. Even at our restaurant reception dinner, our guests were half-joking when they said they wished they were eating Chef Larry's food instead. We had our wedding in Vermont primarily because we loved the food, and Chef Larry's cooking exemplified everything we adored about Vermont's farm to table scene. He was so patient and accommodating when it came to our guests with specific dietary restrictions. He happily made smaller portions to accommodate those guests, all without sacrificing presentation or timeliness. None of our guests with dietary restrictions felt like they were missing out or being given a sub-par substitute. I highly recommend the Vermont Cheese Plate. Chef Larry only put cheeses on there that could be found within a 50 mile radius. These were some of the best cheeses I've ever tasted. In fact, all of his ingredients were fresh and local. We ordered 1 Vermont Cheese Plate, 2 appetizers (the lamb lollipops and spinach and feta mushrooms), the heirloom tomato salad, the roasted roots as a side dish, and 2 entrees (roasted pork loin and coconut chickpea curry). This fed 14 people and we even had leftovers for days! Since we were staying in an Airbnb, we were worried that the kitchen might not be able to accommodate the needs for cooking a huge meal, but Chef Larry came prepared. We were able to go through the kitchen and let him know what we had/didn't have, but he was able to provide his own kitchen ware and serving platters (we provided plates and utensils). This was a huge relief and convenience because we didn't have to go out shopping for serving platters that we would only use once. We did not have to lift a finger. Instead of us cooking and hosting or even driving to a restaurant, ordering, and waiting, we were able to use that time to spend quality time with all of our guests and enjoy the meal together in the comfort of our Airbnb. This was so much more fun than going to restaurant. Chef Larry truly took care of everything so we were able to focus on just enjoying ourselves. In addition to being an amazing cook, Chef Larry is a truly genuine and kind person. Our guests enjoyed chatting with him in the kitchen and you can really tell that he loves what he does. Honestly, we are so jealous that Vermont has a gem like him. If you are considering hiring a personal chef/event chef in Vermont, look no further than Chef Larry! His cooking is a next level and a crucial supplement to the Vermont food experience. You will not regret it!

I would like to share my extremely disappointing experience with Ateliers & Saveurs. I had booked a…read morewine tasting more than a month in advance to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise, and I must say, in terms of "surprises," we were not disappointed. Upon arrival, as we were taking off our coats and starting to chat with the other guests, we quickly noticed there weren't enough chairs (we were a group of 5). When I went to the counter, I was told there was no reservation under my name--not for tonight, nor for any other date. Even after showing my order confirmation with today's date and time, the employee told me he couldn't do anything because the manager wasn't on-site and that I would be contacted later in the week. We were then strongly pressured to leave the premises because the class was about to begin. We found ourselves stranded without a plan on my mother's birthday in the Plateau-Mont-Royal, where every good spot was already fully booked. The manager called me the following day to inform me that an employee had canceled our reservation by mistake. No apology, no offer of compensation for the ruined evening. He simply told me he would make an "exception" by refunding me instead of giving me a credit. How generous... In short, administrative errors can happen, but the lack of customer service and empathy that followed is unacceptable. Avoid them for your important events, or else make sure you have a Plan B for your evening.
