Picky Eaters

"Nothing makes me happier than to have my finicky little one come home telling me she ate "Red Chopped Salad" or "Broiled Japanese Eggplants" and LOVED it, and as if that is not enough, she brings home the recipes...WOW! Michelle also understands our allergy and lactose intolerance specifics and puts a lot of effort into making the meals inclusive and yummy for my lactose intolerant child whose favorite meal is macaroni and cheese! Tonight I made Michelle's signature macaroni and cheese lactose-free version and the whole family, including my husband, said thank you for a fabulous dinner. Those of us who have had the privilege of enjoying Michelle's classes, either through a child or adult, know the extraordinary time and care she takes to make recipes easy to replicate and delicious to the finickiest of finicky. I can't thank her enough!!

...More food challenges

"To say that my son is a picky eater is a gross understatement - he refuses to try new things, foods can't touch and he would rather starve himself than eat a vegetable. So I wasn't sure whether Michelle's cooking classes were going to work for him. It turns out she is a miracle worker.. Not only did she get him to try new foods but her classes have become his favorite after-school activity! Now he comes home and wants to bake zucchini bread...I love the way that Michelle not only provides a fun environment to learn about food but that she really cares about my son's eating habits by taking the time to update me about his progress and by making it her personal quest to turn him into a foodie :) Needless to say that as soon as Michelle offers another series we are IN!

Birthday Parties

I was looking for something different and special for my daughter's 9th birthday party. My daughter loves to cook and a friend recommended The Festive Table. My daughter loved her party! Michelle was super easy to work with and took care of all the details (including shopping, hosting the party and clean up). She worked with us to provide a fun menu and she provided chef hats for the girls as well as take home menus. The table was beautifully set. The girls had a fabulous time cooking and eating their brunch. I loved it because my daughter was happy and it was a no stress party for me!

Michelle DeWolf’s aim is to get people to stick to their healthy New Year’s resolutions

For Menlo Park resident Michelle DeWolf, what started as a volunteer project teaching cooking classes at Oak Knoll School morphed first into cooking classes and party planning for kids and parents, and, more recently, health and wellness coaching. And it’s all under the umbrella of The Festive Table.

“This is what I was born to do,” Michelle says enthusiastically. “The health and wellness component adds a structure to what I’ve already been doing for 10 years.
