Linda, I had to share this with you...I did the roasted chicken, vegetables and salad today.

Many, many thanks!~ Diane V.
Linda, Thanks for the nice evening. I know everyone really enjoyed it. The food was great and everyone enjoyed your presentation. Thank Mari for us too. I really think the evening exceeded expectations!~ Dottie D.

Thank you Linda. I learned so much last night (Pasta! class). I went out and bought some new salt today and used it with our dinner..."baby steps". I loved all of the recipes and the company was great too. I hope I can take another class again soon! ~ Janelle M.
Dear Linda, What a delightful evening we spent learning to make the most scrumptious meal, which was also healthy! (Fab Dinner Party) We learned so much from you and had such fun doing it! I learned so many tricks I will want to use, even beyond these new treasured recipes.
Gratefully~ Ann

Linda- Thanks so much for your awesome classes! I can't believe the change in myself. After taking your classes I was inspired to start cooking more, and I am actually enjoying it!! I make one of your pasta dishes every week, our favorite is the pasta with asparagus. And the roast chicken, WOW! Who would have ever thought I could roast a whole chicken and have it turn out so well? My husband loved it.
Everytime you add a new menu I think to myself, "I need to sign up for that one!" Your classes are money well spent. Can't wait for the steak class next week, thanks again, Linda!~ Judy P.
Linda, I had so much fun last night! You are fabulous at what you do and I really learned a lot. I can't wait to take another class!~ Melanie H.

Dear Linda, what an amazing meal! (C'mon a My House)
Thank you so much, you did a great job teaching us your techniques and sharing your recipes. Cooking is s bit of a hobby for me and I learned so many new things. I hope to come again soon and bring my daughter and some friends. Still full and satisfied~ Sondy
Hi Linda, it was such a great time! And the food was delicious. Can't wait to make it all this weekend. Yummy!! Can't wait to see you again soon. Thanks for a great cooking class...awesome!~ Debbie D.
Hi Linda,
I can't say how much we have enjoyed all of the courses we have taken. Tried to short Jon on salad dressing the other night and use bottled instead of one of your recipes. Jon's comment "that tasted awful next time lets use Linda's dressings." and then last week he up and says "when is your next cooking class? You haven't been for awhile." We have gotten spoiled with the good eats and look forward to our next class with you. Thank you so much for the healthier diets. ~ Megan M.
