Booked the class A Romantic Italian Feast In Verona with Chef Danushka in Austin (Oak Hill)

This entire experience was amazing. We had high expectations and Chef Danushka exceeded them. The menu was incredible starting with the arugula salad with pine nuts and homemade balsamic vinaigrette. I’ve never made pasta from scratch and that experience was a ton of fun. We then made 2 different types of ravioli. The first was basil spinach with a bacon marinara and the second was ricotta and Parmesan cheese with a basil brown butter sauce. Finally, dessert was apple and pear rum cake. We left stuffed!! Danushka was a lot of fun to work with and keeps a very clean kitchen….not to mention a great playlist to cook and eat to. I can’t recommend this enough whether you live in Austin or you’re just visiting. We will 100% be back to try another menu . Thanks for the great all around experience!!

Italian dinner! Amazing! We had so much FUN learning from Erin! She is personable, a true expert in her craft and delivered an unforgettable experience! She tailored the recipe to our liking and I cannot get over the outcome! Delicious! (We chose the Italian experience, which we learned is her most popular option) Plus we had a good time in the kitchen to boot. We have made a new friend in Erin! We cannot recommend Erin enough! We look forward to taking another one of her classes. Thank you Erin!

Really enjoyed the experience of cooking with Megan and the group. Megan's cooking experience and knowledge as well as jovial and fun demeanor made the event both special and fun for a date night. I highly recommend this class even for beginners like me.

I purchased this experience for mine and my partners 1 year anniversary. We did the pasta making class. The final product was delicious. Chef Danushka is a pro. She knows her stuff and she appreciates those that know how to follow direction. So, if you think you are going to go in there and just wing it, you got another thing coming lol. Chef has a dry humor that may take some a little time to adjust to. We didn't have a problem with it. We actually found it quite funny, but I can see how some may not adjust as well. Howerever, she is very sociable, interactive, and knowledgeable. Her home is beautiful and super clean. We do plan on taking another class some time soon. Thank you Chef for being a part of our celebration, and creating such a great experience. Also, I'll practice not calling you ma'am next time around.

My wife and I took Danushka's Italian cooking class where we made a salad from scratch, 2 types of handmade ravioli and a apple & pear rum cake for desert. Chef Danushka was a good teacher and had a fun personality. Her home was beautiful and we had a great time. The Parmesan and ricotta ravioli in brown butter sage sauce was a knockout! Highly recommend!

Erin was great!!! She is knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The meal was simple to make yet delicious! It was fun making homemade pasta for the first time! This was a perfect date night!

Booked the class A Romantic Italian Feast In Verona with Chef Danushka in Austin (Oak Hill)

Who doesn’t love an Italian meal with a nice salad, fresh pasta, and a delicious dessert. The experience in Chef Danushka’s kitchen was delightful. I learned that all these years I have been holding my knife incorrectly. I learned that when I’m making a salad dressing, I need to emulsify the ingredients. But the best of all was having fun learning how to make fresh pasta. This is something that I always found intimidating, especially using a pasta maker. Well, the experience was fun! I can’t wait to get my own pasta maker and go to town making ravioli for us and my family. I highly recommend chef Danushka! Definitely planning to come back for additional experiences!

We had an amazing at-home Italian cooking class experience. Chef Erin brought everything needed and guided us through each dish with clear, step-by-step instructions. We started with a fresh Caprese salad, followed by perfectly seasoned crispy fried shrimp. The highlight was learning how to make handmade pasta from scratch—it was easier than expected and so satisfying. The pasta was beautifully complemented by a rich, flavorful tomato sauce. We ended with a classic tiramisu that was light, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The class was fun, hands-on, and left us with new skills we can use again. It was a perfect way to spend the evening and a great option for a special night in.

Chef Erin was a pleasure to have in our home. She taught us that making exquisite dishes such as homemade pasta and tiramisu are not as intimidating as they seem.

What an enjoyable experience for a girl’s night out! Food was delicious, loved the general cooking info, and nice to get knife skills included. Chef was prepared making efficient use of the time. (Tipped in cash at the class). She deserves a min tip of 20%!

Max H. January, 2023

Booked the class A Romantic Italian Feast In Verona with Chef Danushka in Austin (Oak Hill)

Chef Danushka is quirky, but in the best way. Once we all warmed up to one another we really enjoyed ourselves. Six people paid for our ravioli class, but only two couples showed up. It turned out that was fine though — a more personal experience. We learned a few things, had good food (including graciously accommodating me being vegetarian), and laughed a lot. 5/5, would do it again. Thank you, Chef!

We had a great time with Chef Danushka. My wife and I did the "A Romantic Italian Feast in Verona". We learned how to properly hold the knife, made a very amazing balsamic vingerette salad, two fantastic types of ravioli, and an amazing apple rum cake. We enjoyed learning this simple meal that we could do at home. Chef Danushka is super friendly and we had a lot of great conversations while learning to make the meal. Would highly recommend not just this class with Chef Danushka but any course she offers.

We had the lovely pleasure of cooking a carne asada with Chef T! She was absolutely wonderful, extremely helpful, and so so considerate. We had an amazing time learning how to make our dishes and trying something new.

Would recommend to everyone who is looking for something fun to do with a great instructor.

Our experience with Danushka was incredible. Every dish we made was delicious and felt so easy with her guidance and instruction. I especially appreciated how firm, yet forgiving her teaching was. She's also just such a fun person to be around, and made us feel very comfortable and welcome in her home/kitchen. I would recommend to anybody looking for a fun and intimate evening with good food and good conversations!

My girlfriend and I took “A Romantic Italian Feast in Verona” with Chef Danushka, and it was one of the best date afternoons we’ve had. For context, my culinary repertoire tops out at ground beef, black beans, and garlic powder—so a hands-on pasta class was a stretch for me. Chef Danushka walked us through ravioli completely from scratch: mixing and rolling the dough, cutting, filling, sealing, and cooking it. We also made a smoky bacon marinara that permanently changed what I thought pasta sauce could be. Along the way, I learned that sealing ravioli demands more pressure than you’d expect, that whisking is not just aggressive stirring, that ravioli dough gets exactly two folds (not three, not six), and that operating a pasta maker does not require twisting yourself into a yoga pose—something Chef Danushka witnessed firsthand. She was patient, kind, and genuinely skilled, keeping the whole afternoon relaxed without sacrificing real technique. 10/10 would fold the dough exactly twice again!

We had THE BEST time with Chef Danushka!!! We did the dumpling Asian exploration class and it was fantastic. Chef Danushka was very welcoming, informative, and fun to learn from. She taught us knife skills, how to fold dumplings, and so so much more. We loved being able to do the cooking and enjoy the delicious food along the way. Chef Danushka taught us so many tips and tricks that we will be using in our kitchen and cooking. Everything was amazing and just the best night. We will definitely be booking more classes with Chef Danushka!

My friend gave me this experience for Christmas and it was the best gift! Chef Danushka was very knowledgable in the kitchen and I learned some things that I will be implementing in my own kitchen right away! The meal was entirely gluten free and so delicious. We made shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce, Thai pork meatballs with rice noodles with sauce, and coconut rice pudding with candied ginger and fresh mango for dessert. I am excited to make the meal again for my family. It was a really fun time- highly recommend!

We cooked General Tso Chicken with black fried rice, Pork dumplings and dipping sauce and banana tempera with chocolate sauce. She was very organized and understood the importance of how to cook items in a way that was easy to follow and made it comfortable for us to try at home. She built in knife and frying skills. She allowed us to take pictures of the receipts as well as an extra one that once she understood the reason for taking the class to learn more how to cook Asian. She was professional and delightful. She did teach us how to substitute an ingredient if your run out of something. I would be will to take another class from her or recommend to a friend.
