	Customer Testimonial :
	We had Chef Alekka come and do a couples cooking class for Valentine's Day, and we couldn't have been happier. This was easily the best Valentine's Day any of us had ever had. The entire evening was educational, delicious, and most importantly - loads of fun. I would highly recommend trying any one of their classes. Roxann and Chef Alekka make it so easy and entertaining. We not only plan on using Give Me Some Sugar again, but we plan to tell everyone we know about them as well. We also found out they have gift certificates available, so even if you're not into cooking you can give a fantastic gift to someone who is. Bottom line, if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! -Zack Clow, Chicago
