We had a great time learning to make gnocchi, steak, and panna cotta in our Tuscany cooking class. I loved learning about the Chef's experience training in Japan and love of asian fusion food. I liked that the class was hands on with plenty of demonstration as well. Thanks!

This was a great class. 6 students learned 3 different pastry bakes. So many unknown baking lessons. Mary, the chef, was wonderful. She made us feel so comfortable and welcome. I would definitely take another class from her.
