Where it began.

My first cooking class was for four people – all brave women – who squeezed into my tiny Paris kitchen and drank margaritas while I showed them how to make flour tortillas and super-spicy salsa like what I used to eat back home.

I’d never taught a class of any sort. Ever. But after the first one, I knew that this was something I loved to do. Plus people seemed to like them.

So I kept on teaching. The classes got bigger and bigger, beyond my wildest imagination, and my mini French kitchen.

Central Market, Lake Austin Spa, and more.

Now I teach at some of the most prestigious venues in the U.S., including Lake Austin Spa and Central Market stores throughout Texas, where my classes usually sell-out.

If you live in the States and would like for me to cook for you and a group of guests, or are interested in finding out about my next classes at Central Market or Lake Austin Spa Resort, just send me an email.
