This very special private cooking class for 4 people is offered in Mary Risley’s home kitchen (at a mutually convenient time). 

Mary Risley started Tante Marie’s Cooking School as a full-time School over 30 years ago. In 1997, she was honored “The Cooking Teacher of the Year” by BON APPETIT magazine. In 1998, she was awarded “Humanitarian of the Year” by the James Beard Foundation, for her efforts to help alleviate hunger in San Francisco, through the volunteer organization, Food Runners. In 2008 she received the Jefferson Award in San Francisco for Food Runners.

While Tante Marie's Cooking School is no longer offering full-time professional courses, Tante Marie herself still offers cooking classes and parties in her home where the proceeds go to charity! Tante Marie’s Kitchen is focused on her passion of keeping the fun in cooking.
