Susan truly affords an unparalleled, hands-on French gastronomy experience. It has been said that “anyone can cook in the French manner anywhere with the right instruction.” Not only does Susan delicately bring this notion to life, but one leaves her class with confidence that goes well beyond the cooktop.  Melissa George, student, March 2025.
