About

I’m a chef. But, I’m not into the Chopped or Hell’s Kitchen type of cooking.

I’m more like a cooking therapist.

I want to help you cook better, at a pace that feels good to you.

I can help you with a lot of the scary first-times in the kitchen:

  • How to grocery shop
  • How to stock a fridge
  • How to stock a pantry
  • How to use a knife safely
  • How to cook chicken safely
  • How to prep some foods beforehand
  • How to make family-approved recipes
  • How to make quick & fresh meals on the weeknights
  • How to find the joy in cooking and dance in the kitchen

Imagine what a few skills in the kitchen could do for you!

Increase your overall confidence. Slay “adulting.”

Empower yourself.

Experience the joy of caring for the people you love.

If that all sounds good, here’s the offer:

Join Chef Joanna live on Zoom for a relaxed, beginner-friendly class designed to make cooking feel less intimidating—and a lot more fun.

Friday, August 14, 2026
12:00 p.m. Pacific Time
Approximately 1½–2 hours
$79 per person
Maximum 5 students

Each meeting includes:

  1. Ingredient and equipment list sent before class
  2. How to hold and use a chef’s knife safely
  3. Essential chopping and knife techniques
  4. Foundational skills for cooking healthy meals
  5. Personal guidance in a group of no more than five
  6. A recording of the complete class afterward

We’ll prepare one healthy, beginner-friendly dish together from start to finish. You’ll be able to ask questions as we cook, and nobody will be rushed or expected to already know what they’re doing.

This is the first class in Chef Joanna’s new monthly beginner cooking series. Future classes will feature a different dish and practical kitchen skill. Each class is purchased separately—there’s no membership or ongoing commitment.

Testimonials

“I started taking classes with Joanna after never really getting into cooking and was kind of worried that I would never do it well.

Joanna walked me through the process top to bottom, teaching me to source ingredients, what to have in your kitchen, etiquette and the recipes and food themselves.

She has a been a huge help in my personal development and glad to have experienced her classes, all the recipes area amazing and the food was so good! I still make the pizzas she taught me almost 6 months later. I’m walking away from experience wiser and excited to cook.

You will not regret taking a chance and learning from her!” – Josh, student


“Such a fun and delicious experience
Our private chef made cooking feel easy, elevated, and actually enjoyable. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and ate very well.

We’ve done a few sessions now and honestly, it just keeps getting better. Highly recommend if you want a mix of great food + great energy. Can’t wait to work with her again soon”- Paris, student


We help individuals to be more confident in the kitchen. We’ve worked with Tastemade, Four Seasons, Tom’s, and Bank of America.
