When the gals behind Aphrodite Cooks put on a cooking class, it’s more like a relaxed party where the guests are like old friends and the food is bound to be just wonderful as the company. Chef Vanessa Yeung and her business partner Stephenie Summerhill are the masterminds behind the classes, catering and event planning outfit they aptly call Aphrodite Cooks.
Vanessa was the personal chef to NHL goalie Ed Belfour when she met Stephenie, his personal assistant. When Ed got traded to the Florida Panthers, the two enterprising women decided it was time to take their careers and life’s work into their own hands.
