What recent students have said: "I was so excited after your class I when right out and bought a pressure cooker, as soon as I got it home I made spaghetti sauce. It really was the best sauce I think I have ever made. The spaghetti sauce took about 20 minutes. I just finished making the applesauce. My husband loved it. Thank you so much for a great class. I look forward to next week's class. Thanks again" ~Colleen Devan "Being with Chef Elizabeth is a delicious pleasure." ~Lou Guild |
