Boyan was fantastic!!! Made the evening perfect. Took time to discuss and demonstrate his courses. The evening was the best dinner party ever possible. If we did it again, we would want Boyan!!!
Hi Laura,
Thanks so much for a fantastic and delicious day on Saturday!! :-)

Excellent excellent excellent!! From start to finish, the private lesson had me excited to prepare delicious and healthy meals. Coming into the class, I knew my way around the kitchen alright and could get through most recipes but this class was invaluable for learning the "How" and "Why" to make a meal really shine.
Shopping together was fantastic and provided a great opportunity for me to ask questions about gluten-free products, differences between brands, and what can be substituted. Navigating around the fruits and vegetables with a food expert is an awesome experience for learning little tricks to make the most of the food you purchase. I thought I knew how to pick a perfectly ripe lime - not so!
One of the things I liked most about this lesson was a kind of Food Whisperer approach to cooking - close your eyes and let the food talk to you! Squeeze a pepper to feel it's weight and ripeness; feel the subtle bend of noodles while they're cooking and listen to how hard the water is boiling.
Cooking gluten-free can seem incredibly intimidating but this lesson proved to me that with a little know-how, I won't even miss the wheat. I also appreciated learning about ways to make the most of my time in the kitchen - cook once, eat twice or more. Wash my veggies once home from the store to minimize prep time. Sharpening knives, the physics of pastry, how to cleanly chop an avacado - the pearls of wisdom go on and on.
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us and providing such a fun afternoon!

I received this gift certificate last year for Christmas. What a fantastic idea! I don't think I will ever forget our dinner party, just because it was so unique. I will be buying these for all my friends and clients in the future. 10/10 for everything!
