SINCE 2021


Hi! I’m Stephanie—a Natural Gourmet Institute-trained chef with a love of teaching, a flair for entertaining, and a deep belief that food brings people together.

Whether you’re craving cooking classes in Burlington, VT that take you on a culinary journey through your own kitchen, or are ready to hand off the apron and enjoy a beautiful meal with your favorite people, I’ve got you covered!

My small-group cooking classes are all about connection, creativity, and confidence—no pressure, just good vibes, great food, and new skills you’ll actually use.

Planning a special event? Let me help you celebrate with thoughtful, delicious catering that gives you time to relax, be present, and enjoy your people. Weddings, birthdays, retirements and more!

Since 2019, my goal has been to create moments that feel joyful, nourishing, and totally stress-free.

WEDDINGS

For intimate, heart-filled celebrations where every dish tells your story. From artfully plated dinners to overflowing grazing boards, your menu is crafted with care, inspired by the seasons and Vermont-grown ingredients, and made just for you. I’ll work closely with you to create a food experience that honors your tastes, fits your vision (and dietary needs), and feels just as warm and welcoming as the day itself.

EVENTS

Vermont-forward menus for a cozy dinner party, fun bachelorette bash, soulful retreat, or polished corporate gathering. With a focus on ease, flavor, and style, each menu is tailored to your event’s vibe. Think delicious, seasonal dishes and abundant charcuterie boards served beautifully—so you can relax, connect, and enjoy the moment.

CLASSES

Gather your people and roll up your sleeves—it’s time to cook, laugh, and learn together. From handmade pasta and charcuterie boards to custom class themes like date nights or reunions, every session is hands-on, joy-filled, and tailored to you. With a relaxed vibe and a focus on seasonal ingredients and approachable techniques, these classes are less about perfection and more about making memories. Makes a great gift too!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Step 1: Connect + Plan
We’ll talk through the fun stuff and the details—guest count, preferences, budget, dietary needs, day-of logistics, and what kind of vibe you’re going for. 

Step 2: Curate Your Menu
Based on your tastes and event feel, your Chef Steph custom menu will fit your style, theme, and budget—deliciously tailored, never boring or cookie-cutter.

Step 3: Source + Prep
From hand-picked fresh, seasonal ingredients to all the behind-the-scenes logistics— you won’t have to lift a finger. Venue check-ins, timing, kitchen setup... all handled with care.

Step 4: Show Up + Savor
Whether we’re cooking together or you’re kicking back while I serve, expect warm hospitality, beautiful food, and a relaxed, joyful experience to remember.

TESTIMONIALS


Stephanie is a rockstar! We wanted to do something special for a company crew party and she did an amazing job navigating our various dietary restrictions, providing delicious catered food and custom charcuterie boards, and mouth watering heavy apps. The party was a hit thanks to Steph! -Mike L

My mom and I did a private cooking class with Stephanie to celebrate her birthday. We had such a blast not only was the food delicious but we genuinely enjoyed Stephanie’s company! Highly recommend!-Rebecca B

Stephanie is an extremely talented and professional chef. I had a private group cooking session with her and my family. The event from planning to the end was spot on. I couldn’t have asked for a more engaging and fun experience. This was a birthday gift to my sister and she loved every minute of it! The kitchen brings everyone together and this couldn’t be more true when taking a class with Stephanie. If you are looking for a fun event with a small group or just want to learn more cooking skills for yourself, she is the chef to call! -JoJo B
