I have been meaning to write to you all week to say thank you so very much for Saturday. The food was a huge hit and everyone was full of compliments about how good everything tasted and the presentation. I hope that we are able to work together again in the future, and I definitely will share your name with people who are looking for a caterer!

Classes are custom tailored to meet the interests and needs of each group. No matter your age or cooking experience, Marla offers cooking lessons and group classes for everyone.
Our culinary team building events bring business people together to improve communication, interaction and cooperation, to build morale and incite random bursts of laughter.

Cook with Marla virtually. During the pandemic, virtual cooking classes have become the thing to do! Think of the possibilities: bridal shower, bachelorette party, family dinner, anniversary celebration, baby shower, birthday party. We catered an outdoor beach party. Can you find the hosts' favorite dish?
The menu for each event is custom designed to meet the dietary, budgetary and palate preferences of each client. Specific requests can be accommodated. The cost is based on the venue selected and the menu desired, taking into account the food costs. The collaborative events have all of the guests working together in a collegial manner.

My family of six (three men, three women) had a GREAT time. We all know how to cook but learned skills and some great recipes. Marla was great! I highly recommend.

I enthusiastically endorse Cook Ease Catering for a fantastic hands-on cooking class experience. We decided the menu and Marla and her staff did an exceptional job of engaging the group in commentary, demonstration, and a few fun tips. Everyone had a fabulous time. Oh, and her space .. WOW!!!
Thank you Marla!

Great experience. She customizes the menu to your wants and needs. She made a custom menu with our names on it and the directions so we could make it on our own at home. The food taste great and she does a great job of teaching. Would definitely recommend going.

Great food, great laughs, great company, great atmosphere and AMAZING CHEF!!
Chef Marla was knowledgeable and personable. She made learning new recipes and cooking tricks fun and enjoyable. We had a private group of 8 join Marla in her kitchen. We devoured all the food and the huge bowl of pasta! Thank you for such a great experience and we can’t wait to come back for round 2!!!!

Marla is absolutely the nicest person on the planet! My sister and I took 2 classes with her and we made so many goodies! On the 1st day we made chicken wings and turkey sliders. On the 2nd day we made pasta from scratch and tiramisu. Her steps were simple and quick. She's super patient and always has a story to tell! Would def recommend taking a class with her and if you can getting your hands on her famous chocolate coffee cake recipe! :)

I recently participated in a private cooking event with Marla and it was a great time. The group of four of us learned a lot from Marla and thoroughly enjoyed her company, her beautiful home (and spacious, appointed kitchen) and of course the delicious meal we prepared. I highly recommend a Cook Ease event for a social or professional occasion as a fun, delicious, enjoyable way to bring people together and to learn some invaluable techniques along the way.
