"Peter is wonderful. I was very impressed he was able to interest my daughter ( in something that wasn’t plain pasta. She had a fun time and Peter has the ability to work with older children as well. My teenage son was very proud of the hummus he made. It was so good that Mom and Dad ate all of it and he had to make some more."

"Peter did a great job working with Alice on a broccoli pesto dip. He was very patient and took the time to explain each step. Alice was excited to chop the vegetables and left with a sense of accomplishment. She declared the dip delicious!"

Katherine S.

"Peter knows how to connect with kids of all ages! He is very flexible and can tailor the recipes to suit your kids’ interests. They were engaged the whole time and even after 1 class they had new confidence in the kitchen."
