WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Los Angeles
05/02/2026

Chef Luana welcomed us as family for an unforgettable cooking class. Her love for cooking and years of experience was shared with us as we made the most delicious gnocchi. We enjoyed a homemade ragu gnocchi and a cheese blend gnocchi - both were so yummy, we couldn’t pick a favorite! We also indulged in bruschetta, and dessert. Chef Luana grew up in a part of Italy not far from where my grandfather grew up, which made the whole experience even more special and we felt right at home! Thank you, Chef Luana, for the most wonderful time and new culinary skills to last a lifetime. Hope to cook with you again soon! - James and Amanda
