I had a wonderful time with my 2 friends at our Italian cooking class on Friday night, August 1, with Chef Aunt V in Naperville. Our group of seven included two other couples in it that we didn’t know, but we all got along great and had a lot of fun. The kitchen set up worked well and was beautiful, very nice location for this. Chef Veronica is so knowledgeable and I learned so much from her teaching knife skills, hygiene, safety, buying produce, growing organically, as well as the detailed cooking of the three dishes that we made. It makes a huge difference to be at an in-person class instead of taking a zoom class with Cozymeal, which is what I did previously! The food we made was delicious & we got to take some home too. I will definitely take another class with Chef Aunt V in the future.
