Chef Luana is super welcoming! I surprised my boyfriend with this class and she was so sweet and accommodating. It was super easy to book and communicate with her beforehand. The class was super easy to follow and the food was amazing. We are definitely planning on coming back and bringing our friends.

Tonight was beyond a delight. Chef Luana invited us into her kitchen and shared her expertise in Italian cooking. We shared delicious food and warm stories of Chef's Italian life. We look forward to seeing her again in another class.

What a perfect afternoon we had with Nona Lu, making pasta with premium ingredients! Both of the sauces were absolutely delightful, and to top it all off, Chef Luana was such a warm, knowledgeable, and engaging instructor. Thank you for the unforgettable experience! --- Would you like help tailoring it for a specific platform or audience (like Yelp, Instagram, or a thank-you card)?

Such a fun and memorable experience! Chef Luana was warm, engaging, and made the whole pizza-making process so approachable—even for beginners. We made our dough from scratch, learned helpful tips on toppings and baking techniques, and got to personalize our pizzas. The class was super hands-on but still relaxed, and Chef Luana created such a welcoming, social vibe. It honestly felt like being at a friend’s house for a homemade pizza night—except with a pro guiding us every step of the way. Perfect for a date night or just something fun and different to do with your family. I’d definitely take another class with her!

This experience was amazing. Chef Carole was very warm and a great teacher. This was my first cooking class and I learned so much, such as differences in knives, how to cut uniform vegetable, layer flavors, and general tips on better and more efficient cooking! It was really the conversations we had with Chef Carole that made this so special. This would be a great gift to anyone or for yourself!

This was by far one of the favorite classes my mom and I have ever taken, and we’ve done quite a few! Chef Marc was an absolute delight. The vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The class framework was thoughtful, engaging, and incredibly well-executed. What truly sets this class apart is the attention to detail. Every aspect of the experience was immaculate. From the clear directions to the venue (complete with a contact number), to the interior setup, comfortable room temperature, and beautifully presented stations. The kitchen tools were high quality, ingredients were neatly laid out with laminated table cards, and even the table settings were on point. And as someone who comes from both an operations and creative background, I have to say: Chef Marc's recipe template is hands-down the best I’ve seen from any chef-led class. Every detail felt intentional and appreciated, no stone left unturned. Bravo, Chef Marc! This class deserves a standing ovation.

We really enjoyed Chef Iain’s class. This was easily one of our favorites! The menu selection was fantastic, especially the tapas-style variety. I was thrilled that we got to make homemade flatbread—it was such a pleasant surprise and definitely a highlight. The food variety was excellent, and the smaller, more intimate class size made the experience even more enjoyable. It felt personal and engaging without being overwhelming. The only thing that kept it from being a perfect 10 was the room temperature. It was quite warm, and with the ovens on and no noticeable AC or fan, it got a little uncomfortable at times. That said, everything else was wonderful, and we’d absolutely take another class with Chef Iain.

It was such a fun filled class with Chef Luana. It was our mother's day celebration, child free time learning something new and Chef Luana made it very enjoyable. She warmly welcomed us in her home and in her kitchen and walked us through the pasta making effortlessly. The cooking and the stories made the experience feel like a Sunday dinner with your family. I definitely highly recommend Chef Luana for anyone who wants to learn how to cook or bake and I will definitely come back for more of her classes in the future.

The gnocchi class with Chef Luana was absolutely fabulous. My better half and I had the best time learning and experiencing true Italian cuisine from this master chef! Her authenticity and detail to creating the meal made us feel as though WE were Italian chefs. We have not stopped bragging about our experience with Chef Luana and how amazingly good the food was. We look forward to exposing our friends and family to the gifts of cooking/preparing meals that she offers. Needless to say, I highly recommend Chef Luana's cooking class! I've uploaded a few photos, but don't judge us too harshly. We are not quite at Chef Luana's level just yet!

My daughter and I had such a vibrant, fun, and awesome cooking class with Chef Francesca! Chef Francesca was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and fun to learn from. Both of us had a blast! I highly recommend this and we will for sure book with Francesca again. Her place was nice and clean; menu was great, food was fresh and super yummy! My daughter loved the pasta making experience. I loved the sauce we learned from Francesca. The various prepping and cooking techniques she taught us was useful and amazing. She helped us activate our taste buds and senses. LOVE this experience! Can't wait for the next cooking class with Chef Francesca! Grazie mille, Chef Francesca!

We really enjoyed learning different techniques and trying so many variations of sushi. It was a great time (and a lot of food - go hungry)! The cooking space was nice, too.

Had a fantastic experience making gnocchi with chef Luana! My boyfriend and I took the class for a birthday celebration, and it was a perfect way to enjoy time together while learning something new. Chef Luana was very welcoming and patient as she taught us her gnocchi recipe, as well as showed us how to make an amazing cheese sauce to go with it. She also provided homemade bread with bruschetta as an appetizer, and ice cream for dessert. I'd highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to prepare a delicious dish or just celebrate a special occasion.

I surprised my fiancé with a private cooking class with Francesca as an early Valentine’s Day gift. The last time we had truly authentic Italian food was in Italy, and this was the first time we experienced fresh, homemade Italian cuisine since returning. Francesca, who is from Sardinia, was warm and welcoming as she shared her style of cooking from scratch, showing us how to simplify Italian dishes. My fiancée is pregnant, and Francesca was incredibly helpful in guiding us on how to modify our meals—such as pasteurizing eggs and adjusting the tiramisu recipe. The result was the best tiramisu we’ve ever had, and now we’ll always want to make it ourselves! We highly recommend learning from Francesca, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

Chef Mert was A+! My wife gifted me an Italian Date Night cooking class, and from beginning to end it was an incredible experience. He explained every part of the process thoroughly, it was very interactive, he allowed us to ask questions, he was unbelievably knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. We will definitely be recommending all our friends book him, and one of my favorite experiences I have had. Thank you Chef!

We had the most amazing experience taking Chef Luana’s cooking class! The unique and creative approach of using a shovel to make gnocchi was so much fun and truly unforgettable. Chef Luana’s expertise, warmth, and engaging teaching style made the class enjoyable from start to finish. The gnocchi turned out absolutely delicious, and we appreciated her passion for sharing authentic techniques. Thank you, Chef Luana, for such a wonderful experience—we’ll be raving about this class to everyone we know!

A few weeks ago, my fiancé and I had the most fulfilling experience taking a Moroccan cooking class with Chef Yasmina! We were paired with 2 other people, so it was a small group of 4, plus Chef, which made for a personal and fun atmosphere. From the moment we stepped into her home, we were surrounded by warmth and beauty—her glassware, houseplants, decor, and stories all reflecting her worldly charm. The class was incredibly instructive, offering not only insights into the cuisine but also rich Moroccan traditions. Chef Yasmina let us tailor the experience, allowing us to decide how much we wanted to cook versus observe. Every dish we prepared was absolutely delicious! She even gifted us some extra oranges, fresh from her garden. I can’t recommend booking with her enough—10 out of 10!

Chef Mo was so kind and offered suggestions/feedback on what you do/don't like on your food. He explains why he does certain things when cooking and offers tips! Would definitely love to do again sometime. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! Chef Mo clearly loves to cook and share his love for what he does with people... You will not regret it!

Had a great time cooking and chatting with Chef Luana. Learned how to make healthy and delicious food in a realistic kitchen setting - can't wait to cook the amazing dishes at home. Pineapple with burrata was an amazing combo, and the homemade bread was great too! Risotto was mouthwatering, especially with a few tips from Chef Luana on how to make it super creamy and flavorful (and still healthy!). Chef Luana was very welcoming, and her place felt like home! We would love to be back for more classes. Recommend this class!
