Nephresha The Cooking Coach

I participated in a group coaching program with Coach Nephresha. She helped me reach my goals by first providing a safe atmosphere among our group. That foundation encouraged us to practice trust, vulnerability, and accountability. Additionally, the consistency of group meetings, activities, and sharing/celebrating our progress was helpful! Each of our goals and circumstances were addressed uniquely so it never felt like a one-size-fits-all.
Some of my results include having sustainable systems to support future goals on my own, better sleep habits, feeling stronger and more confident, and fulfillment

Organized, punctual, great demeanor, and Good food!!! What more could one ask for?! I'd use Nephresha's services again and again.

I just had a cooking session with Nephresha, and it was such a great experience. I would give her 6 stars if I could! Nephresha has such a passion for food, and she's an excellent teacher. She taught me basic techniques, and gave me lots of ideas to incorporate into our meals. We're vegan, so we made about 4 dishes that were all plant based and delish. The falafel was literally the best I've ever tasted! She's also extremely organized with prepping the grocery lists and recipes ahead of time, and even followed up with a list of links to some kitchen gadgets we talked about.

My wife got me some cooking classes with Nephresha. I know a thing or two about cooking, but really need some help with basic dishes, more creative ideas about what to cook and more confidence overall with my abilities. I had two sessions with Nephresha and she took me through some stir fry, both Chinese and Thai, cooking very juicy chicken, Italian sauces and Caesar dressing. The sessions were fun, totally helpful and really helped me out. Nephresha is really friendly, totally supportive and makes you feel really comfortable as you learn.

I will be calling for more sessions! Thanks Nephresha

Far from being a cook, I have experienced Nephresha's cooking at past parties, so I'm fortunate enough to have tried her once again while she was catering at an event this past week.

Not a healthy eater by any means, she is the one rare person who is able to get me to try things I normally would not put onto my plate or better yet, into my mouth. I started off with something familiar-quinoa-and discovered this had some cauliflower and asparagus mixed in (I found this out after the fact). I bring up those two vegetables specifically because I don't touch them in my real life, yet

Nephresha brings warmth, laughter, and knowledge to the kitchen! She is confident and encourages her students to be bold and try things. She went above and beyond giving me recipes and suggestions specific to my life and circumstances. Couldn't love her more!

Cooking with Nephresha was out of this world! She's a friendly and helpful person, and did a great job explaining things as we went along. Was nice to learn some new cooking techniques for some simple and delicious meals... already used some of the recipes! She can tailor your class to whatever you want, and keeps it fun and fresh.

Would highly recommend Nephresha!

Nephresha's cooking lesson was a birthday present for my boyfriend and it was so much fun! We made braised lamb, roasted carrots, and cous cous with fennel and zucchini. The lesson was tailored towards our respective skill levels and I learned extra tips like knife skills and flavor profiles. She suggested ideas for future recipes as well! When she arrived, she had all the tools we needed to use. What a great night!

Ps
Her Grandma D's Spice blew both of us away :)

I am a huge fan!!! Nephresha's food is simple and delicious...as good as it gets. She has such positive energy, pays close attention to detail and knows how to make healthy food taste amazing.

I attended a party that Nephresha catered. The food was TO DIE FOR! My favorites were the sliders, they were so flavorful! I'm very much a carnivore myself but she also had vegan options available. I tried a couple of those items too, and was blown away! Definitely going to call her for my next party!

Also, I was able to purchase a shaker of her signature spice (Grandma D's Spice) at the event. Quite possibly the best thing that has happened to my kitchen in a very long time.

Nephresha is a GEM!! She is my go-to caterer for the events I host at Equinox Century City. She creates delicious, nutrient dense, crowd pleasing dishes that have resulted in VERY happy event attendees. She has masterfully catered for small crowds (8-12), and large crowds (50-100) alike with professional grace and ease. I HIGHLY recommend her services!!

It was my daughter's birthday and I promised a homemade cake of her choice. Nephresha made a beautiful and delicious Malted Strawberry Cake. The layers were perfect as was the frosting. It was a huge hit!

Nephresha is absolutely amazing!!! I'm certainly no wiz in the kitchen and had often felt intimidated by grocery shopping and meal planning and cookware, etc......I mean all of it! But I'd always had this secret desire to cook delicious meals and share them with the people that I love.

Then along came Nephresha. My angel! She completely eased my overwhelm and helped me see that not only can all of this be simple and easy, it can also be fun! She's literally been holding my hand every step of the way (what kind of pots, which spices to keep in my cupboards, freezing foods, planning

I went to a braising class. It was very helpful for a kitchen novice such as myself. Nephresha is very personable and makes sure all students are relaxed. Before class started, I was NOT a fan of black eyed peas. Since that brilliant recipe, I have made them several times! THOSE PEAS ARE AMAZING!! When time permits, I would love to do another class!

Nephresha arrived right on time with a majority of her ingredients prepped. She brought her things in, refrigerated the things that needed keeping cool and set to work in the kitchen. Within minutes, all of us had migrated to the living room nearest the kitchen because whatever she was doing in there smelled so good! We all made sure to stay out of her way, although we did lean as far across the kitchen island as possible to see (and smell) what she was doing--she didn't seem to mind.

She is friendly and has a lovely personality. One of our guests hired Nephresha to cook for her and her father

Like most folks, I am busy during the week with work, friends, family and my dogs. I spend most days eating on the whim and without a plan. As you can imagine, that gets pricey and can consume a lot of time (not to mention calories!) I asked Nephresha if she could create a grocery shopping list for Sunday and a plan for meals for the week that would require little to no prep. Not only did she turn this around quickly (I have my list for tomorrow!!!) but she even customized it to my favorite store, Trader Joe's! Now I have a list and a meal plan. I am excited for this week :-)

I can say that my time with the cooking coach has proved invaluable. While I am a Vegan & I can only testify to her vegetarian meals all that I have heard about her Mac and cheese has me testing myself! Her meals are secondary though to all that she has given me. All that she has taught me about cooking, nutrition, & about how food influences my life in general has continued to influence me long after the cooking coach has left my kitchen. The information that I received helped me to re-evaluate the importance of preparedness as well as how to prepare meals in a effortless fashion.
