Here is what my Community is saying about my Cooking Classes

Wow...you are amazing! I have never tried salsa verde without roasting the veggies first. I am excited to try your recipe with the addition of the avocado! OMG yum! I know what I will be having for dinner. Great job. So nice to see you! and thanks for helping me take a little “me” time today!

Christina’s recipes are so easy to make and I can’t believe how delicious they actually taste. I was very skeptical about going gluten free but Christina has shown me it can taste delicious and be nutritious.
— Miya
I could not attend live class so it was nice to have the playback available. I appreciate Christina’s passion for cooking and it has helped me get more comfortable in my own kitchen.

The seedy bread turned out good and my partner even liked it. He said “ it tastes healthy and unexpectedly good.”
— Chrissy
I can’t believe how delicious the chicken pot pie is and that I haven’t had tarragon in my life prior to today.
