Silvana made my daughter’s 10th birthday extra special! She even decorated the place beautifully and had planned activities for the kids in between baking time. Every single kid had a good time and was engaged with their cooking. She explained every step extremely well and it’s importance. The dessert my daughter made from the class was super delicious and so as the cake Silvana made for the party. My daughter said “it’s the BEST birthday party she’s ever had!”.

Dear Chef Silvana,

I want to thank you for the wonderful cooking camp. Nathan brought home five delicious dishes every day and learned different cooking techniques. He took pride in his creations and was excited about cooking. He has made several cakes after the camp. I’ve been learning the recipes with him every Sunday since then. So I’m indirectly learning from you too.

Silvana’s classes have been the absolute highlight of my daughter’s summer for the past 2 years. She has learned many tricks and techniques with baking, gotten completely comfortable in the kitchen and brings home the most amazing desserts for us to enjoy at home.

My daughter, now 8, has been cooking with Silvana since she was 6 and just adores her. Silvana has that gift that allows children to do so much and feel so capable. And the food she brings home is just incredible. It would not be out of place at some of the fanciest restaurants in town!

Gabi likes that your recipes are ‘just right recipes’ – doable for kids but also something an adult would find interesting to make
