Client Testimonials

"Though I can hardly do more than warmup a sandwich, my girlfriend loves to cook. She also loves surpises, so you can't imagine the points I won when I surprised her with cooking lessons from Marie Hejl. Marie made cooking easy and fun even for a novice like me. We had a great time, and she had the perfect menu for us to make a wonderful, yet conventional dinner. Marie was patient and informative-- her helpful tips made me want to go start cooking more when I got home. I look forward to using her again for lessons. A definite thumbs up recommendation and a great date idea!"
-Andrew Solomon University of Texas at Austin, Student Body President, 2007-08

What a thrill it was to have Marie Hejl as our celebrity guest speaker/cooking instructor for a recent event. While planning out the menu and figuring out the ins and outs of the event, Marie could have not been more helpful or more timely in responding to my many emails (which is key in the event industry)!

The day of the event, Marie arrived on-time, looking gorgeous, and was fully prepared to execute without a hitch. Marie’s plan was right on-target; she delivered a spotless performance. While whipping up a delicious three-course meal, Marie was able to carry on a perfect speaking voice, answer questions, crack jokes, and go back and forth with the audience like a complete natural.

Marie Hejl is a brilliant teacher, a great business woman, a delight to work with, and did I mention an amazing chef?"
-Anne Campbell Kennedy Creative (Event Planning Company)

Dear Marie, I so enjoyed your cooking presentation and your comparison to making a perfect homemade pie crust and policy/procedure development to prevent legal litigation at the CAI employment law conference in Raleigh, NC. I thought so much of my niece who has been cooking since she was quite young and now at age 12 frequently prepares the evening meal for her family. I am sharing your website address with her. So good to meet you and I wish you the very best in your practice and in your cooking skills."

"Thanks so much for taking the time to teach us [how to make pies] the other night. I'm baking my pie tonight for my dad's bday. I have no doubt it will be a hit! Love your apron collection as well. I'm giving the one I bought to my sister in law as a gift. Have a wonderful Christmas and hope to see you again!"
