"Heidi is a fantastic teacher. Her warm personality made her students at Tsartlip First Nation feel comfortable right away. Her in-depth knowledge of cooking and her ability to assess each individual’s skill level allows her to teach a multi-level cooking class with many menu options. Heidi can explain any recipe in understandable and manageable steps. The group came away with the skills they had been eager to learn. Best of all, Heidi’s food tastes fantastic! Everyone was impressed and wanted her back."

"After my wife took Heidi’s Indian cooking class and ‘experimented’ on me, we were both hooked. We registered for the Thai class and now spend many nights cooking these great dishes for our friends and family. We will be pupils again soon. Thanks Heidi, for helping us to push our cooking boundaries!"

"Having attended other cooking classes previously, I found that Heidi’s classes suit me best. Her style is very friendly, relaxed, and encouraging, with a step-by-step, easy-to-understand approach that takes the mystery out of ethnic and/or vegetarian cooking. All phases are clearly demonstrated, allowing students to observe the appearance and smell of the food as preparations proceed. Best of all–at the end of the class a great meal is shared!"

"I finally took Heidi’s Indian Vegetarian course after being on her email list for over a year. Now I am a devoted follower! Between the many useful tips she gives, the easy-to-follow recipes, and the delicious meals, this is great value for money. I am feeling much more inspired about cooking and enjoying it that much more. Despite having countless cookbooks, her recipes have become an integral part of my collection."

June Wing, Victoria

"I keep the handouts from Heidi’s classes in my recipe stand and refer to them often. In her classes, I really appreciated the excellent organization, the jokes, the tasting and the tidbits of information about local shops and cooking techniques. I always check the new list to see which courses might work for me. I thoroughly recommend these classes."
