My husband I did the Italian cooking class and it was amazing last night. We had a blast learning how to make our own pasta and bolognese sauce. The chef did a great job having everything set up and made the cooking process easy and fun. I would recommend this to any couple looking for a fun date night. We look forward to attending another one of cooking classes in the near future.

My boyfriend and I LOVED the recent brunch-themed class we took at Salt & Pepper. The classes are very hands-on and we learned a lot about technique too (like how to perfectly poach an egg!). JD manages to be in three or four places at once, answering questions, taste-testing and noting different food preferences (I wanted my eggs benedict over hard). We'll definitely be back and love being able to support this small business. Don't forget to BYOB!
