Cooking with Jodi far exceeded my expectations. She is very professional yet personable and works hard to create her menu around your likes, dislikes, allergies, etc. The view from her home is picturesque and the atmosphere is warm and fun. She is unpretentious and all about teaching you to prepare recipes in your home with ease. The meal we prepared... More
