Chef David was awesome! We had lots of fun and really enjoyed the recipes and what we learned in class. Would definitely recommend and do another class ourselves!

Chef Shirley was great and very informative. The food was delicious. Our only suggestion would be to boil the Pappardelle in a pot as we did with the Farfalle. The Pappardelle turned to mush by cooking it in the sauce.
