I attended a Bachelorette party for my sister-in-law at Harvard Cookin' Girl in May. I'm from NYC and I have never experienced a cooking class quite like this! The atmosphere was perfect for our small group to honor the bride. It was intimate and very comfortable. It felt like we were sitting in a family kitchen with our favorite aunt... More

We recently did a corporate cooking class with Bibi, and it was nothing short of LOVELY! She was extremely knowledgable, friendly and engaging! Our group loved the menu, the atmosphere and the energy from Harvard Cookin' Girl! Whether you want to go with your partner, friends, or clients, this is a great activity to do together! More

Fourteen friends and family gathered around the kitchen to watch Bibi perform her magic, mainly Italian inspired magic on this occasion, as requested by the newly minted SDSU grad. We started off with... More

I have been to Bibi's cooking presentations several times, including a Paella night, and two Indian nights. As a previous reviewer has already said Bibi is very passionate about food preparation and teaching healthy eating.My favorite part of her classes is hearing all the little tips about how to bring out the best in herbs and spices or how to...

I was in town (from Chicago!) for my best friend's wedding and we decided to go take a cooking class with Bibi.

I just returned from La Jolla weekend with my sisters, one of whom treated the rest of us to an evening with Bibi. A cooking class--what a wonderful way to spend time together! We saddled up to Bibi's cooking counter--watched, learned, ate, drank, laughed, shared--the entire evening was beyond well done. Thank you Bibi for such a terrific time. I've... More
