Hello Vanillamore Family! Happy 2022 (how is it already February?)!
What a wild ride the last few years have been; many changes both personally and professionally. Finding a new rhythm has been exciting, and I am proud to share everything that I’ve been up to!
Curated Dinner Parties & Private Cooking Classes
Over the past several months, I have been working with clients to develop customized dinner parties in their own homes! I am honored to have been a part of many celebrations already, and look forward to working with you for your next special occasion.

Culinary Classes at Foodies Cooking School
(inside Sweet Expressions) in Denville, NJ
After 4 years, I have returned to Foodies Cooking School to teach recreational cooking classes. See a list of my upcoming classes below (scroll to the bottom for an exciting Vanillamore-themed class!).
Menu Development & Consulting
It is always an inspiring experience to step into someone else’s kitchen, especially one run by another strong female. Bringing my knowledge of menu development, I had the opportunity to work closely with Chef Leia from South & Pine in Morristown to consult on her Winter Dessert Menu. I look forward to continuing this type of work with Chef Leia and others in the future!
Here’s to more personal and professional growth in the year to come!
Warmly,
Chef Risa
