"These are low key informal classes. We go
over recipes and prepare the food together
in Marianna's kitchen or outdoors on her
gas grill, under her instructions, supervision
and example. There's lots of time to chat and
get to know each other. We sit down for a
pleasant leisurely evening meal either in the
dining room, around the living room
fireplace, or out on the deck under the stars,
where we learn even more about the food
we have prepared. Marianna is a superb
cook and exemplary friend to the earth, as
a recycler, organic gardener, personal trainer
and teacher of fitness classes. The classes
are fun and informative of a whole different
life style most people haven't experienced or
been exposed to. I've never met anyone
like Marianna. I've gone to her cooking
classes off and on for the past ten years.
I've saved all of her recipes and used
many. Her entire yard is an exquisite kitchen
garden, fun to visit in any season, a learning
experience in itself."

"Marianna's classes put me at ease in the kitchen. I never thought I'd love tofu and I'm
amazed at how many things can be done without a blender. Each class is a special evening of good food and good conversation. And I'd do it again!"
