The Good Food Project is a school dedicated to teaching people how to cook real food and improve their confidence in the kitchen. They offer hands-on classes that cover a variety of cooking skills, from baking bread to making pasta and sauces to creating French macarons.
The Good Food Project was created because we believe that the best thing people can do to improve their health, their finances, and their overall well being, both for themselves and for those they love, is to learn to cook.
We have become a culture where it is more convenient not to cook, and no longer find the time to sit together, linger and talk over a good meal we’ve prepared.
At The Good Food Project, our work is dedicated to keeping the ritual of breaking bread together alive, by teaching people to slow down and to embrace and enjoy the process of learning to cook real food.
THE GOOD FOOD PROJECT IS…
Dedicated to helping you improve your confidence in the kitchen, in a fun and accessible way.
Our hands-on classes will teach you the cooking skills you need to recreate, fearlessly customize and make each dish your own.
With classes ranging from baking bread to creating handmade pasta & sauces to piping French macarons, you can always find something delicious on the menu.

We had a great time with Chelly during our Ravioli class. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. We will be taking more of her classes.

Very fun and interactive class. We had great fun making macarons and Chelly was very professional and provided tips beyond the standard recipe to make great macarons.

I gave this class to my partner as an anniversary gift and it blew away my expectations! The instructor went through everything step-by-step, checked my partner’s progress, and had the schedule down to a science. This was such a cool experience! We will definitely be back for more classes.

Amazing class. I was the only one registered for the class and she still held the class for me.
A private one to one was wonderful.

I love the class! The instructions were very easy to follow, and I was really amazed at how well the macarons turned out!
Chelly was very attentive to what I was doing, and her advice and tips were helpful in achieving the crispy macaron shells that taste and look like real macarons, with nice feet, chewy insides, and crunchy outsides.
I tried baking macarons before, but they turned out flat and hard, similar to a cookie. It is not easy to achieve the right dough consistency, which is key to successful macaron shells. Having someone on your side along the way is super helpful. Chelly helped me to understand what consistency I needed to achieve. Also, once she learned that I have a convection oven, she helped me adjust the temperature so the macarons are baked at the right speed.
I highly recommend Chelly's master class to anyone who wants to try making macarons for the first time. She probably has baked thousands of macarons and taught numerous people, so she can set you up for success right away.
I'm so glad to have delicious macarons for our Christmas dinner today!

Excellent class. I learned a much simpler recipe than the one I was using. Chelly was organized and knowledgeable, she answered all our questions and gave us several options as to flavors and fillings. Highly recommended.

Bread Baking
Anonymous review on 2/28/2021
Chelly was amazing--so easy to chat with and so knowledgeable about baking. And, it is SO much bread. We are looking for more classes to take and anxious for her to be able to teach in-person classes someday. We would highly recommend this course.

The instructor was very nice and obviously knew her craft. Her macarons came out perfectly. And mine were embarrassingly bad, to no fault of the instructor. I’ve come to the conclusion that macarons don’t lend themselves to virtual classes.
I’m a good cook and baker but making macarons have been a challenge and I think next time, I’ll take one of your courses in NYC, where I live, in person.
I would like to thank the instructor for her patience and good nature on the face of my lack of incompetence

I received a partial materials late (didn’t have time to shop). I never heard back from the instructor again and never received a zoom link.
I intend to email and inquire about a refund.
Very disappointed.
