What people are saying…
“It's so easy to get screen fatigue these days, but Ari's virtual cooking classes cut against that grain. If you're looking for a virtual event idea that is truly fun and engaging, look no further. Ari is a pro--not only are her recipes refreshing, but her way of coaching people through them is both approachable and refined. She's able to meet every cook where they're at, from the novice to the seasoned foodie, so everyone is able to learn something new and make a fantastic meal. You could even join a class just to watch and listen and you'd still have fun.”

“Ari gave us the gift of cooking with family we have not been able to see in over a year due to the pandemic. The way Ari explains food and gives you the confidence to taste throughout, use your ears and eyes to really connect with the food as you cook. She has such a unique and empowering way of giving you the tools to create your own way. Thank you, Ari! You not only have given us beautiful recipes, knowledge on how to prepare but also have created experiences and memories between loved ones that are a bit hard these days.”

“Arianna was able to adjust her class to our needs - a focus on environmental sustainability - with ease and joy, leading an engaging, educational and fun cooking class for our GoDaddy Green members. We heard from attendees for weeks afterwards on the different ways they were incorporating nuggets of information learned during the class into their daily routines. Thank you, Arianna!”

“I have attended several of Ari's virtual classes, and was lucky enough to have her cater my small, pandemic wedding in summer 2020. Ari's approach toward cooking and special meals is so refreshing: she helps you appreciate good flavors and ingredients, techniques, or recipes that you may not have tried before, but in a way that feels approachable and fun, never fussy. I've learned how to taste my way to a delicious sauce, and learned that even if I couldn't quite get my little orecchiette into the perfect shape, they still tasted amazing and were a delight to make! Ari is a talented and versatile chef and caterer.”

“We've set up a few classes with Ari now, and each one has been unbelievably fun and delicious. Ari is a natural teacher -- warm and easygoing, patient and understanding -- who brings incredible range and expertise to all sorts of dishes. Homemade pita and fries, handmade pasta and sauce, Dutch babies -- everything we've made with her has been sensational, and we especially appreciate that she makes sure you learn these recipes and techniques using what you have in your kitchen. In short: Ari is amazing. We can't wait for our next chance to cook with her!”

“Ari offers a deep knowledge of food culture and food science to help you understand the “why” behind the recipes and techniques, giving you the confidence and freedom to improvise in the kitchen. She equips, encourages and gives you permission to put down the recipe books and start trusting your own senses. She truly helped me rediscover fun and playfulness in the kitchen!”
