The class was good, except I didn’t receive the cooking instructions or the 15% store discount since I registered via Cozymeal.

I was a bit disappointed that Chef Nick was not the chef instructing this class. I didn’t realize the class said “or Resident Chef”, so that is just something to be aware of. Overall, class went smoothly. Making pasta from scratch was fun and the pasta dish turned out well. The salad and the dessert, however, were underwhelming and I would not make them again. I felt like explanations were lacking during the class. It was quite loud and difficult to hear the instructor, so I dont feel like I learned much. I also have not received a copy of the recipes. Last time I took a class at Sur La Table I received the recipes the same evening of the class.

Fantastic class - I learned a ton about working with laminated doughs. I've tried a couple times in the past, and always had a sticky, tacky mess on my hands. This class taught me tricks and tips, how to work the dough more effectively, what to watch out for. I just pulled a batch of croissants out of the oven, and they are everything I could have ever hoped for, and more. I need to keep a laminated dough on hand at all times now! :D Loved the class, great teacher, very helpful and informative - can't wait to take more classes!

Hi team, our class was enjoyable, but we did not get what we paid for. We did not make the dessert portion of the class and were let out 30 minutes early.

The class was perfect! The instructor was excellent, we had hands on learning, and the experience was wonderful. Signing up through cozymeal was iffy because the location wasn't posted until after I signed up and the instructor was different than advertised, but it was still a great class

This was a really fun experience. My best friend and I attended the shrimp scampi with homemade spaghetti class. It was our first cooking class ever. We learned a lot of good information and recipes that can be replicated at home. The food was delicious. FRESH pasta for the win!

We did the pasta making class with Chef Nick! He was extremely knowledgeable, demonstrated everything clearly and helped us make the best food. It was such a fun class. We got to make two pastas and 3 sauces. It was such a great date night. Highly highly recommend. Novice to experienced cooks would enjoy this!

Our team had a wonderful experience. The food selection, level of difficulty and straightforward instructions were exactly what we needed. We appreciated the space to learn and grow together as a team and Chef Nick's teaching method and personality were the icing on the cake.... and also the olive oil ice cream... which was amazing.
