This was my third class with Helen. Her classes have been incredibly helpful in adding more variety to my menus, developing my kitchen skills and broadening my horizons in so many culinary ways. Her classes are small and everyone get's to participate as well as enjoy Helen's attention to their questions. The time flies but in 3 hours the amount of cooking and teaching that goes on is amazing. She has a great combination of skills, knowledge, experience, energy and enthusiasm. Best of all the class culminates with the enjoyment of all of the recipes prepared sitting around a table with Helen where she entertains all kinds of questions. Her classes fill up quickly which is further testimony to the quality of the experience she provides.

The class I attended was French Pastry, and what a wonderful experience! Helen is welcoming, funny, amazingly organized and, most importantly, incredibly knowledgeable! The entire time she was teaching and demonstrating, she was laser focused on the recipes and techniques all while somehow still making you feel like you were just a friend who dropped by to spend some time chatting and cooking something special. Her style is easy-going and patient and I came away with a ton of information and the confidence to tackle French Pastry comfortably on my own. She also served a wonderful lunch! On a scale of 1-10 I would give my experience a 20!!!

My husband and I enjoyed 'Helen's Kitching Cooking School' and the class we attended! I picked up some great tips that I can apply to my own cooking and I'm looking forward to trying them! I hope to take another class in the future and I'm looking forward to it! I recommend taking a class with Helen!

The session was on cooking with meats. We prepared dishes that used beef steak, lamb ribs (rack of lamb), and pork shoulder (boston butt). Also discussed local shopping and selecting cuts of meat as well as identifying quality within the cuts. This was excellent training. Helen has a passion for making meals that are flavorful and practical to have in the home environment. Of the eight participants I was one of two first timers with Helen (the other was the son of a repeat attendee). I can see the value of taking other courses with Helen as you learn how to apply methods of cooking to several types of meats, poultry or seafood. I see my experience as an opportunity to scale back on dining out and enjoy/impress when cooking from scratch at home. We ate what was prepared and had a wonderful Q&A session over the last 45 min or so on tips and techniques. The class did go over by 30 min but worth the time and it shows how much Helen puts into her students' learning.

I have previously attended several of Helen's classes. The classes are always informative, well prepared, and with opportunities for hands-on experiences. Helen provides feedback and helpful tips during the class. It is presented in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. I have learnt new techniques and obtained new recipes in every class. Sharing the dishes created during the class with other students is a highlight. Helen is an experienced instructor and I highly recommend her classes..

The class was excellent, I would recommend to anyone who had an interest in expanding their culinary knowledge. Helen did a great job of making it a very inclusive experience, always providing good instruction with a smile. I felt when I left that I'd be recounting my class experience many times. Highly recommend and have already signed up for a second class.

We can't recommend Helen's Kitchen Cooking School enough!! We just finished our first cooking class with Helen on how to make different types of meat. She is so knowledgeable and does a great job educating and answering questions. This more than made up for our horrible experience at Sur La Table several months ago. Helen takes time to ask everyone at the beginning what our questions are going into the class and what we hope to learn, and at the end of the class does a whole Q&A session. She prints of recipes, shopping guides, and includes links to her YouTube videos on the recipes, she even included a bonus recipe for us just because she thinks it's delicious. Helen is worth every penny, can't recommend her enough. It was a great date night!
