The class was so much fun. This was a birthday gift for my partner. He loves cooking. You could see his excitement, that he even spell my name wrong on our name tags. He was so intrigued by the class. He would love to do other classes in the future. Plus, he told me, if he has the right equipment, he would make fresh pasta. I'm definitely buying that.

My husband and son thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make pasta together, they got some quality time together in the process, and I now have a new pasta attachment for my KitchenAid because they were both inspired to make more pasta at home. Thank you for the easy-to-follow, fun class!

We were very pleased with our cooking class experience with Chef Amjad. He created a fun, hands-on learning environment - that helped some out of their comfort zone - but with skilled guidance was able to help all complete each task to complete the meal. If you've never tried tried this kind of experience I encourage you to do so with Chef Amjad.
