We had an amazing time during our Classpop cooking experience for our 3rd wedding anniversary! It was our first time trying a class like this, and Chef Vinutha made it truly special. We learned to make delicious Japanese dishes, including sushi and a match mousse dessert with tofu & white chocolate!! Chef Vinutha was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing helpful tips about the ingredients and how we can customize the recipes at home in the future. Rolling sushi together was so much fun and a perfect hands-on activity for date night. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to try something new and memorable!

Chef Vinutha was very well prepared, helpful, and professional. She used the time well, and kept our group of 4 busy and engaged! Everyone left very pleased with the food, and confident in their new pasta making, and cookie making skills! I would recommend this experience for any group looking for more engaging way to eat restaurant quality food! (While enjoying BYOB!)
