WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Los Angeles
Isabella C.

This Gnocchi cooking class with Chef Luana was absolutely incredible a truly authentic Italian experience from start to finish. From learning traditional techniques passed down through generations to understanding the heart behind each dish, there is truly nothing like being welcomed into an Italian family kitchen. The ingredients, the stories, and the hands-on process made everything so special. The gnocchi we made was beyond delicious, and the entire experience was thoughtful, intimate, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a genuine, traditional Italian cooking class that goes far beyond a recipe, this is it. Highly recommend to anyone who loves food, culture, and meaningful experiences.

We had an amazing time! Our family of 8 cooked pho, spring rolls and crepes. Everything was delicious! Our chef was patient, fun & interactive. Will definitely do this again.

Our Moroccan cooking class with Chef Yasmina far exceeded our expectations. Yasmina is a great teacher, making sure everyone gets their needs and questions answered, and the food was truly amazing. Yasmina is an inspiring chef with a generous spirit - nothing was rushed and she even made an extra sauce just because we were interested. We left the class feeling confident that we could try these dishes at home, and that we also had learned much about cooking in general. We would highly recommend this class or anything that Chef Yasmina teaches.

We made the best ravioli I’ve ever had! Chef Luana was very knowledgeable and professional
