Cook Learn Live

We were looking for something unique to do for our daughter’s 30^th birthday. A cooking class sounded like fun. My search found Cook, Learn, Live in White Plains, NY. Jenna, the owner/​instructor, was very accomodating of our food preferences and dietary needs, helping us plan the meal, and providing fresh, healthy ingredients. She even cooked a test recipe for her family a few days before our class, to be sure that the cooking times, temperatures, etc. were suitable for alternative ingredients we had requested. With guidance from Jenna, we prepared and cooked our meal, which featured several courses. Then we sat down for a delicious, healthy family meal that we had prepared ourselves (with lots of help). Everyone had a great time, and we learned how to make several dishes. I would highly recommend Cook, Learn, Live! Thanks, Jenna!

Jenna is wonderful! Working with her was such a treat!
My school sponsored a group of us to attend one of her cooking classes, and it was a fantastic experience. The class was not only educational, it was a lot of fun, and definitely a great reprieve from my typical Sunday afternoons spent studying in front of a computer.
Jenna did a great job of overseeing the prepping and cooking of the four dishes we had on the menu for the night. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like to manage a kitchen full of amateur chefs (half of whom rarely cook at home)…but somehow she managed to do it with grace!
Jenna was extremely patient with and open to all of our questions as well. In particular, I thought she did a great job of incorporating the ‘why’ behind her answers to questions like: What ingredients do you always have on hand? How do you know which spices go well together? What goes into a vegetable stock?
I really appreciated how Jenna tailored the class specifically for a group of grad students, focusing on: increasing the nutritional value of our meals, saving time in the kitchen, and all the while cutting down on costs. Three things that I know I DEFINITELY need to do more of!
I walked away from the class with an arsenal of new cooking tips, a full belly (plus a few containers of leftovers), and a packet of recipes from the class. Three hours very, very well spent! Thanks for all of your cooking tips, Jenna!
For anyone interested in learning how to eat healthier or to be more effective in the kitchen, I would highly, highly recommend her classes!
