This was a fun and simple course to learn the basic foundation of rolling sushi. Mark walked us through the steps from how to flavor the rice properly, spreading it onto the nori and adding ingredients to tips on rolling it. All ingredients were provided and opportunity to interact with fellow table mates. Fun a d worth trying g it out as a hands on experience.

Chef Mark guided us in making the fresh pasta dough, rolling it out really thin, slicing it in strips, and cooking it. He made a delicious marinara sauce and our meal was superb. He gave us many useful tips as he guided us through the lesson. We had a small class in a quaint setting. An evening of fun and fellowship learning from Chef Mark.

Sushi was smelling, not that interactive. It was boring and a waste of money, avoid!

Chef Mark did a great job of explaining the steps and showed each step. At the end he gave us the recipes. We had a great time and he answered all our questions.

While Chef Mark was a pleasant and personable individual, this was absolutely not a cooking class — it was a demonstration at best. The “class” was held in the middle of a busy pub where music was playing, customers were talking and laughing, and people were actively playing darts and pool. There was no microphone, so we could barely hear the instructor. Calling this a class under those conditions is completely misleading. We were expected to roll dough on small high-top pub tables, which was impractical and uncomfortable. Due to the setup, we couldn’t even clearly see the sauce being made. There was no structured, hands-on instruction — just trying to catch bits and pieces of what was happening in a loud bar environment. To make matters worse, the finished pasta was served in a small Styrofoam bowl with a plastic fork — not even a napkin provided. The dish itself was bland and underwhelming. This experience was given as a gift, which makes it even more embarrassing. It felt disorganized, misleading and like a complete waste of money. A cooking class should be interactive, educational and conducted in an environment where participants can actually hear and learn — not in the middle of a noisy pub during business hours. Extremely disappointing. Not at all what we expected.

This was a fun experience, but too expensive even with a groupon for the two rolls we made. Most people around us left pretty hungry.

We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the wonderful sushi class. It was a truly delightful and educational experience for both of us. My husband particularly enjoyed every moment of the session. We are very much looking forward to our upcoming pasta class with you. Thank you again for your expertise and hospitality.

Just joined Chef Mark’s sushi making class and it was an awesome experience. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and makes the class easy to follow. I highly recommend.
