I had a lot of fun in the class, but that was due to the people there which was the only highlight. The venue set up was not great for cooking. There were 5 people total for this pasta class, but only two small saucepans for boiling pasta and one saute pan for making the sauce. What would we have done if there were more people? The saute pan had the non-stick coating chipped and flaking off and I was questioning whether or not I should eat the pasta sauce by the end. We were not given cutting boards but instead chopped on wax paper, and the tiny knives were terrible for chopping garlic and tomatoes. I understand not wanting to hand out chefs knives, but something bigger than a blade the size of my pinky would have been appreciated. Chopping garlic with that is not going to help someone find a love of cooking. Furthermore I had onyl about 12 inches each direction for rolling out my pasta due to the size of the table. Overall I was very disappointed by the cooking experience. The Chef was friendly and fun at least and had a good sense of humor.

Erin was great! The brewery wasn’t too busy, so we were able to move around and do what we needed to do where we needed to do it. Instructions were easy to follow. Dishes were simple and delicious. Erin really made the experience!

Chef Erin was very nice and had no trouble guiding us through our class. That being said, the entire class felt very cheap. Our first scheduled class was canceled 1 hour before it was meant to begin and we were only notified via email. On the day of our rescheduled class we showed up 30 minute early and were told by the venue that they did not think the class would be happening as they had a different event going on at the same time and had told Classpop they needed to reschedule. At the time of the event Chef Erin arrived and the venue made accommodations for us to have the class anyway - two of the attendants had already left. This meant that we were stationed between the indoor/outdoor sections of the restaurant on a windy day. We sat at two high top wooden tables on bar stools. The tables were covered with disposable plastic tablecloths. Our first task was to make the dough for our noodles and we were provided parchment paper to work on that had to be held down with duct tape. We mixed the dough in a measuring cup with a plastic fork. After making the dough we were tasked with mincing garlic, chopping basil and tomatoes. We were given small paring knives and had to cut directly on top of the plastic table cloth - no cutting boards. We were told to put aside excess garlic and basil for the sauce later, but we had no idea how much sauce we would be making, or how much was an appropriate amount for the bruschetta. We also used the paring knife to cut the baguette. After making the bruschetta, we resumed working on our noodles. We were given cheap rolling pins (ours was broken), and we rolled out our dough. We then used pizza cutters on top of the plastic table cloths to cut the dough into noodles. We were told it "didn't matter what size the noodles are". The next step was to cook them in a pot of boiling water. We added our noodles and were given a plastic toothed spoon to stir them. When the pasta was done cooking we started making the sauce, a can of crushed tomatoes and the leftover basil and garlic. We "seasoned to taste" using bottles of HEB spices. Our dinner was served on Styrofoam plates with plastic forks to eat it with. For $110 (on sale), this class felt incredibly overpriced.

Chef Erin provided an amazing cooking experience filled with fun, laughter, and easy to follow instructions that resulted in a delicious meal! You can tell she thoroughly enjoys what she does and has the best attitude even when having to deal with adversity of different locations she has to teach classes at. I had such a delightful time that I am already looking at additional courses offered by Chef Erin to attend next.

Really enjoyed the hands on pasta making class. This was so different than other cooking classes I have taken. We were not watching the chef cook but actually listening to her instructions and making our own dish. Chef Erin is so calm and clear with her instructions. Thanks

I really enjoyed Chef Erin's pasta making class! She showed me that making my own pasta isn't as complicated as I thought. And the class size was small so I felt comfortable asking questions.
