Amber taught us how to make pasta and tiramisu, gave us tips and recipes, and helped us to create a delicious dinner. After making our pasta, our group enjoyed wine and conversation in the restaurant while our pasta was cooked and sauced. We were amazed at how much and how amazing it all was. Thank you for such a fun and memorable experience, Amber! (We have already made tiramisu after returning home and can't wait to make some ravioli!)”

We made tiramisu first, then 2 types of pasta, and after the staff cooked the pasta and added sauce, we got to eat them. It was a lot of food and tasty! There were about 15-20 of us in the class, and I've only taken smaller cooking classes before, so this was a little tougher to ask questions or get details, but the hosts did a good job of explaining things and were very welcoming.”
