Testimonials Click here to read about the Forays in the LA Times Travel Section Thank you! I have taken many cooking classes in my life and had pretty much written them off for awhile, but your class was outstanding! You’re sweet disposition and love for food and people allowed the day to flow beautifully. I was also impressed with your generosity as you purchased food for our meal. You were only concerned about the quality of our experience/meal and not how the cost was eating at your profit. How refreshing! Could I please have the ordering information for the chocolate you used in the mousse? Chocolate mousse in one of my favorites and that was the best one I’ve had in years. I had been looking for a new recipe and you saved me. I will definitely join you again. SB is an expensive town and I will have to save up for another trip! Food for thought; have you given any thought to taking a small group of foodies to France? We are staying local for awhile in hopes of the dollar stabilizing, but it would be fun to plan for a trip to France with you. Have a great week and thanks again for a wonderful day. Mary McKenna Counselor Aliso Niguel High School Dear Laurence, Hi Laurence, Thank you for such a wonderful experience at your beautiful home on Saturday. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I look forward to your Summer class!
Thank you Laurence for a wonderful wonderful day. Liz and I talked and talked about it--reliving the surprising beet preparation, the perfect fish, the heavenly cherry clafouti, the melting risotto, and your warmth and generous hospitality . Now in our separate cities, when I tell my friends the delicious details, they are stupefied and envious. It was the perfect mother-daughter day. And you were the perfect teacher and hostess, attentive to all our food needs, eager to share your culinary philosophy and special techniques. From early morning marketing, to the last bite of dessert and sip of coffee, this day exceeded my expectations in every way.

Laurence: Had a wonderful day with you; learned so much and totally enjoyed your approach and creativity in the kitchen. It's inspirational to me as my confidence level is such that I almost invariably find my head in a book, pouring over a menu. Thank you so much for all your thoughtful hints, and sharing your considerable expertise and artistry with us (also the photos!). Definitely include me on your mailing list. Warm regards,
I had a lovely time with you - just super!! I enjoyed every minute. The fish, vegetable, cheese adventures were so informative returning then to your beautiful home was just perfect. So appreciate the pictures you sent. My crab claws are at the ready today and I am ready to have some fun with all the new ideas and skills I've learned. And C'est Cheese will see me for the La Tur. Again, I thank you. See you soon for more adventures. Keep me on the list. A bientot! Dear Laurence, Thank you for a rich and fun and delicious experience. I love your concept and you carried it out beautifully. It was informative and interesting and an unusual way to spend a day with friends. I will definitely recommend it to others, and I look forward to perhaps sharing the experience with some other friends at my house next year. Have a wonderful summer, Fay B., Cape Cod
