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!
