Learning about cacao was very interesting. I loved the way Julianne broke down the history of cacao and how she tied it in to the class. The experience didn’t feel like a class, it felt like we were invited over to a friend/family home for dinner. Okay so the food was really delicious, the way how the spices, with the chocolate and the vegetables blended together was an eye opener. I was shocked of how well cacao tasted while immersed in hot food. Julianne’s hospitality was definitely above par. Don’t hesitate, book this experience.

This experience was so much fun! Juliane has created a little slice of heaven in her beautiful home. We learned so much about cacao and sustainability. Cooking the meal was a wonderful experience and I was shocked at the combinations turning out so delicious! Juliane created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Absolutely incredible experience! Very well thought out, informative, and hands on cooking class where you’ll make a huge amount of inventive savory cacao dishes. Everything was really delicious and the final meal was spectacular. I can’t wait to make these dishes for my friends and family back home. Juliane was a wonderful host and I felt very welcome in their beautiful home. Highly recommended!!
