Carolina Cookery — Local services in Charleston

Booked a cooking class for my daughter’s 30th birthday. Rashaunda was so accommodating when we had to reschedule due to covid. I also had special requests. My daughter wanted to learn to cook without recipes and with items in the pantry. Wow! The class did not disappoint. We made pot roast, birria, seared fish and chicken.

Rashaunda offered a choice in boards/platters, a selection of meats, cheeses, fruits, jams, crackers/breads, and other accoutrements.
