"I love to entertain but have always defaulted to store bought hors d’oeuvres for cocktail hour. I signed up for a class with Plat Du Jour to learn how to make my own hors d'oeuvres. Melissa was great. Her class taught me how to prepare three different hors d’oeuvres and the skills I learned have allowed me to explore beyond that. My guests have been thrilled with the flavors and the beautiful presentation of my food - and it’s all thanks to Chef Melissa!”

"Simply Amazing!!!"

"Taking a cooking class with Chef Melissa was everything we had hoped it would be. We struggled to find new ideas of something to cook mainly because we were afraid we couldn’t do it. We love seafood but only get it when we go out to eat, so we wanted to learn how to make a dish at home. We took Chef Melissa’s class on Halibut in Coconut Curry - something adventurous. Wow! She made the experience fun and gave us the confidence that we could do it. The interactive nature of her class allowed us to ask questions along the way so that we were really learning. You can’t do that with a cookbook. The finished plate was amazing - the flavors and presentation were absolute restaurant quality. We highly recommend Plat Du Jour and Chef Melissa! “

“Yum and fun! I wanted to learn how to make a desert - creme brûlée. Plat Du Jour offered a class on how to make a trio of them with each a different flavor. Not only was the class fun, the taste of the finished product was amazing and the presentation was beautiful! Looking forward to my next class.”
-Avery, Connecticut

"Melissa was incredibly patient in teaching me and my daughter how to make stuffed pasta shells. The class was engaging and fun. She was also very flexible when we needed to reschedule."
-Barbara and Chloe, South Carolina

" My husband and I signed up for the Queso Fundido class. Chef Melissa taught us not only how to make the dish, but how to balance out the spiciness based on our preference. It was the perfect snack for Super Bowl Sunday!"
