In this hands-on Italian cooking class with Chef Vinutha, you'll learn how to prepare a menu of Neapolitan classics with traditional dishes from the regions of Abruzzo, Campania and Calabria. To start, you'll whip up a stuffed eggplant dish with cheese and Italian seasonings before moving on to light and flaky fish rolls. Then, Chef Vinutha will teach you how to make rich risotto primavera stuffed with fresh vegetables and soaked in a savory stock. Lastly, you'll transform pastry dough into a crostata dessert, which you'll fill with sweet homemade jams.

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!)

I surprised my partner for his 30th birthday with a cooking class! It was such an incredible experience. Chef Vinutha was so patient and accommodating! We’ve been wanting to go to a cooking class for awhile so we’re happy this was our first experience. We definitely hope to come back and highly recommend Chef Vinutha to anyone looking for a mix of learning and having fun!

I've had the good fortune to take Chef Vinutha's virtual South Indian cooking classes and I can attest to learning a great deal of not only the process of following a recipe and making the dish but also the why behind using certain ingredients and the cultural importance of food in a South Indian milieu. Chef Vinutha has exceptional interpersonal and communication skills. She is a natural teacher and makes even the most difficult technique understandable to the newbie cook. She expresses ideas and processes clearly in a very precise and orderly fashion. She is passionate about her cooking and her culinary expertise encompasses many other ethnic foods. Her recipe and menu designs are both traditional and innovative and highlight her creative approach to every meal she prepares. I look forward to future classes with her.
