Vanessa, I can’t thank you enough for making our evening so enjoyable and for taking normally reticent people out of their comfort zones and getting them to try something different.  We all had such a great time – people are even asking if we could do it again for our Christmas function ....... a GREAT event, one of the best I’ve been to.

Karen Brummel, VECTOR LTD

Thank you so much for Friday.  Everyone had a fabulous time and are raving about the event today.......... it was a total success! 

Lindy Catley, Business Manager, Sheffield

I just wanted to say thank you!
My partner and I booked in his youngest sister (sic) for a couple of your classes over the holidays, she is normally very shy but had a great time and you made her feel so special, she LOVED that you posted one of her pictures onto your page and is now asking about how/where to take more classes!

'Vanessa is a regular visitor to RMH classroom and her cooking classes are always so popular. She has a wonderful rapport with the children and she gets to know them on a personal basis.  Her lessons are always well thought out with plentiful ingredients and 'hands on' cooking techniques to try out.

The children love to cook with her because it is such fun! She allows them to experiment and be creative with some amazing results.  Her infectious laughter and outgoing personality make her a hard act to follow!'

Marion Nevin Teacher at Ronald McDonald House Auckland

...Everyone was still talking about the dinner yesterday on the way back to the airport, so once again the event was a huge success.  Hopefully I can find another team that we can do this with again in the future – it absolutely works for us.

Ian Taylor Executive Director, Sheffield

Vanessa Baxter is just great!  She provides a challenging, yet fun and inspiring team building event every time.  We went back as it was so much fun the first time. The worry was, would it be too much of the same, but we should not have worried as Vanessa delivered a completely new challenge with new heights to scale! Well done!

Christien Winter Executive Director Sheffield

I have had the pleasure of attending three of Vanessa's Corporate cook nights and have thoroughly enjoyed every one. Not only have they been a great way of bringing people together in a positive team environment but Vanessa provides all the great recipes, motivation and expertise from her wealth of culinary knowledge. Vanessa is also an Ambassador for Ronald McDonald House Auckland and is always there helping the families with cook nights that bring absolute joy to so many. What a pleasure it is to have shared her company. Wayne Foster

What an awesome event! Thank you so much for the time, effort and care you put into the preparation and execution of our cooking experience today. The kids absolutely loved it and were fully engaged for the full two hours – this is quite something for a bunch of 13 to 15 year olds. I was astonished at how good the sushi and the vietnamese spring rolls all looked and the cute little deserts in the glasses were fabulous. I think you chose dishes at just the right level for guys of this age, it was challenging for them but accessible.

Ben Simperingham Marsden House Master, Kings College

You are certainly the talk of the town today - our guys are saying it is the best team building they have ever done - thanks for making me look great :)
