"I had so much fun with Michelle at the first live cooking class! Cooking Club is so worth it if you are just starting out and want to learn the basics, or you’re a seasoned pro who wants to learn some new tips in the kitchen! Michelle is very knowledgeable and thorough making sure you have everything you need to be a success in the kitchen... even if you have no clue! "

" I know how to cook in theory, but I never do because my husband loves to cook and has completely taken over our newly renovated kitchen. Michelle has given me the confidence to get back in there and rediscover my own joy in creating delicious food. The live zooms are so fun because it feels like hanging out with your best girlfriends while you’re all cooking together."

How the Make It Homemade Cooking Club can help!
Home cooked meals are one of the most precious gifts we can give those we love. While everyone begins their journey at different stages, it all starts at the beginning.
