Welcome!
Hi There!

Thanks for coming by. My name is Mindy Wright, and I have one of the best jobs in the world--teaching kids how to cook. I teach classes throughout Sonoma County, and also have a company called Patacake Parties, where we host baking lesson birthday parties for kids.

At my home, I'm the sous chef to my two girls, Ella and Amelia. Also in the household is the recipe tester (my husband Tom) and the kitchen floor cleaner (our Basset Hound Lulu).

Please feel free to look around and email me with any questions. And thanks again for visiting.
