The Chef was very kind. The experience was very odd. I thought the place would just be the cooking class, but the brewery had patrons in there while we cooked in the corner. It was not partitioned off to make it feel like it's own section. It felt incredibly rushed like we had to cook it right away and there was no individual attention given by the Chef. Also, no aprons were given, which felt odd. Overall learning how to make pasta was fun, but I would not recommend this experience.

Chef Mari was organized, friendly, and made the whole experience easy and fun! It might be nice to take home the recipe at the end.

Like the idea of the concept, but the execution was horrible. It was at a bar, noisy not enough equipment for everyone to use , took forever to eat and get our meal Class size was too big. Just not a good overall experience. Food sitting out and unsafe, sanitary conditions. Would definitely not sign up for another class.

My expectations were more than met... they were exceeded and I can't wait to book another class with Chef Maricarmen! She was easy to understand and the pace of the class was perfect. Although we were in close quarters, our group had plenty of space to create amazing food. Most of us had never attended a cooking class either. Our stations were already prepped when we arrived and to my delight, we also cooked chicken to accompany our homemade alfredo and pasta. I had so much fun learning and interacting with Chef and the other participants. Chef Maricarmen even made garlic bread! What a treat this was and the price was affordable. Worth every penny and I am already looking for my next class. Definitely registering for another one with Cher Mari Carmen. Her love and knowledge of food are incredible

The class itself was really a lot of fun! The chef was amazing. Even though she had to re-organize things because of classpop being truly unorganized. I give 5 stars to the chef but only 1 star to classpop. I will never buy from classpop again.

Cher Maricarmen was awesome. I definitively plan on doing another cooking class with her. She was patient, a great teacher and easy to follow. Loved that she bought her own special touch like the rub we were invited to use on our chicken and the delicious garlic bread she made to go with our dishes. It was such a great way to spend my day! All of us in the class enjoyed each other’s company! The group was a lot of fun!

Tricia

She was great!!!! The only criticism (which in no way is her fault or a reflection on her or her skills) was that the class size was a bit large and would’ve been better with a smaller group. But she handled the busy back-and-forth like a consummate professional!

Dana

13 Oct 2024

Such a fun and delicious class! It was quite busy though so would love to see smaller groups to make it easier on the instructor and enhance the experience.

Nancy

13 Oct 2024

She did a great job however there were a lot of people. It would have been nice to have the size half the size that she had however like I mentioned she did a great job. Also if there are a lot of people she could use an assistant and also some more pasta machines and a bigger area.

Cynthia

13 Oct 2024

Very knowledgeable, lots of fun, well organized. I will look for classes from Chef Maricarmen. Btw, class size is too big. My son left a tip.

My husband and I attended the Alfredo All the Way class. Chef was amazing and so organized. She kept the class moving. There were so many elements to making the pasta dough , grilling the chicken, making the sauce yet she did a great job having ingredients and cookware ready for us. The food tasted fantastic as well!

Janice

30 Mar 2024

I went to the class with my wife and we both enjoyed Chef Maricarmen's friendly instruction and help in making our own angel hair pasta and shrimp primavera sauce. The making of the pasta was my favorite from mixing the flower and egg into dough and then rolling out the dough and cutting it into angel hair spaghetti. I recommend the class. We gave her a tip at the end of the class.

Emily

Chef was great. My wife and I had been talking about taking a class ever since Covid hit the state. My granddaughter gave me the experience for my birthday. So, the three of us did the shrimp primavera class. Again, the chef was great, the food was great, the experience with our granddaughter was great fun, and we met a lot of people that were fun to be with. Absolutely, a five star experience.

I’ve always wanted to learn to make pasta and this was definitely a fun experience to help me learn! Mari was super sweet and helpful, ready to lend a hand if and when we needed it. She was thorough with her directions and ready to answer all the questions we had. Mari made making pasta seem way less daunting of a task and I can’t wait to do it at home.

Julie

11 Jan 2024

Chef was lovely!!! It was a bit oversold, not enough pasta makers. Our pasta didn’t turn out, it was fun but really head count should have been limited to 10 or so for best experience. Or two instructors. Or more pasta rolling machines.

Kari

Honestly, this was a fantastic time. My wife and I enjoyed everything. The chef was awesome and so was her husband who helped everyone along. The wine paired perfectly with the Alfredo (chicken and shrimp).

Maricarmen dishes were excellent, her use of different textures and flavors sets her food apart. Visually her food is appetizing, as she always takes her time in her presentation. Maricarmen has an eclectic style of cooking, being able to cook a variety of ethnic cuisines"
