Student Review-
“While I didn't exactly grow up on frozen TV dinners it was pretty close. Unhealthy eating habits and the shame of being an adult who didn't know how to cook led me to invite Mayumi into my kitchen for some personal cooking lessons. Mayumi was great - she was calm but fun and she really listened to my likes, dislikes and what I wanted to get out of the lessons. She took all this into consideration and created personalized recipes that are some of my go-to dishes that I rotate through regularly. This is one of the best investments in my health I've ever made, thank you Mayumi!” —-Cristina L.
