Our class with Chef Janet was wonderful. She made making potstickers simple and we had a great time. We would certainly take another class with her!

We had so much fun in this class! Chef Janet was such a great teacher. She made sure we were all on track, gave wonderful cues, and overall fun to be around! I would definitely book a class with her again.

Chef Janet was very sweet hence the 3 stars. Almost don’t want to leave the review but wish I knew before I booked. The class was subpar at best. Not worth the money. The venue was a grungy bar, the pasta tasted meh and the whole experience was just uninspiring. I wouldn’t recommend, there are much better classes available.

Janet is incredibly sweet and welcoming! From the moment we arrived at the pasta-making class, she made us feel comfortable and at ease. She was attentive and provided clear, helpful information throughout. I loved that she not only explained what to do and what not to do, but also gave the reasons behind each step. it made the experience so much more engaging and educational. Her warm personality combined with her knowledge made the entire class such a positive and memorable experience. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave I highly recommend!

Janet was super friendly and explained / demonstrated how to make sushi step by step, so it was easy to follow along! She also gave little tips and tricks throught the class which was helpful!

I really enjoyed the size of the class, not too small and not too big. The instructions were very clear, and chef Janet was available to answer any questions.

Chef Janet turned a space within a distillery into a perfectly functional pasta cooking class. The class was straightforward and easy to follow. (It was my first time making pasta from scratch.) She created a good energy throughout the class, and everyone participated. It was during happy hour at the distillery too, so you can get drinks served to you if you partake.
