The private cooking class with Jodi of LaJollaCooks4U was definitely the highlight of our trip to La Jolla. Jodi put a great deal of effort into planning the day and was extremely thoughtful and organized. She is very enthusiastic and knowledgable. After spending a couple of hours cooking, with her sous chef cleaning up after us, we sat down to... more

Part of my big 50th birthday celebration included a recent visit to the San Diego area; I managed to partake in one of the best Cooking Classes 'EVER".

We recently did a private cooking lesson with Jodi for our anniversary, and absolutely LOVED it.

Last week, my husband, myself and my 2 daughters, ages 19 and 20 experienced the most incredible gastronomic and sensory awakening afternoon in Jodi's kitchen.

Our senior management team was looking for ideas for a team building event, and came across Lajollacooks4u. I visited Jodi to talk over the idea, and she treated me to the most wonderful breakfast at her home as we discussed logistics for the event - her pecan rolls and home made granola are phenonomal! After discussing dates, menus and preferences,... more

About two weeks ago I participated in Jodi's cooking class and had an amazing time. The day started off at about three o'clock with some wine and beers. When everyone got settled we split into two groups and prepared fresh, local food that we would later call our very own masterpiece. The experience and the dinner itself was thoroughly enjoyable.... more
