ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

This is a hands-on experience. All material and ingredients will be provided as part of your registration.

Melissa is a realtor in Toms River who cooks, sews, teaches Mah Jongg, and makes her own sourdough bread and limoncello. She's also a Rutgers Master Gardener of Ocean County.
