I had a great time. I learned basic 101 Sushi Roll making and it was fun. The venue was safe and pleasant and the instructor was fun. I hope I can find another class with Adrian. She made it fun.

Chef Adriana’s ravioli making class was an amazing experience. She created a warm, welcoming atmosphere and explained each step clearly, making it easy and fun to learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch. Her passion for cooking really shows. The ravioli turned out delicious, and I left feeling confident I could recreate everything at home. I highly recommend her class to anyone who loves food and wants a memorable, hands-on experience.

The food wound up tasting good, but the class was very chaotic and unorganized! She forgot name tags and sauce ingredients. 2 of the attendees had to make the sauce for the entire class!! Instructions on cooking the ravioli were insufficient - our pasta was tough and undercooked. She said she would give us the recipes but did not.

This was one of the most unorganized classes I have ever taken. She was unprepared, lacked proper equipment, and overall the food was nasty. 0 stars.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have a great experience. There wasn’t enough table space for the pasta despite cutting it, not enough machinery, and the pasta “sauce” was chopped up tomato. There was like 9-10 tomatoes if that, for 11 people. We were told we could take the uncooked pasta home and we did, but that turned out to be a ball of mush. The chef was nice, but I wouldn’t recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn how to make pasta from scratch.

This was unprofessional and we did not get our moneys worth. We ate with all the food from target, chef did not interact with us as much as we would like, we only chopped garlic and a 1/4 of an onion. Tomato sauce was not fresh— canned tomatoes used. Did not cook in a kitchen, we cooked in the lobby of a brewery at dining tables. Only ingredients: flour, egg, gallic, onion, cheese. tables. Was not at all proper cooking class we ate out of paper bowls at end. You will have fun if you make it fun but no actual techniques are truly learned.

Nice people but basically no instructions, sauce came from a can and was sitting in a crockpot to warm while the water boiled in the corner on a camp/convection stove, watery and no flavor. Food was not great maybe 4/10 max for taste. Homemade pasta did taste good but it is silly that we weren’t taught much of anything and the quality of ingredients was so low… Overall didn’t learn anything but had a good time because the people were nice. Don’t think we’d do it again although Chef was nice.

My husband and I had the best time learning how to make sushi with Adriana! We learned how to make a cucumber salad and two types of California rolls. It was the foundation we needed to be able to make any kind of roll. She is a wonderful instructor and a kind, interesting person. It was such a fun afternoon date! Thank you Adriana!

Adriana was a fun teacher and did the best she could with the recipe and materials she had. However, this recipe was not the most flavorful or anywhere close to the price paid for the class. While learning to make tortillas was cool, the chicken tacos were very basic and not the most filling. There weren’t even any sides to go with the meal. Sur la table is definitely more worth your money for a true cooking class experience.

Really enjoyed this class. Very casual/informal. Chef was engaging, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was challenging to cook in the public space of a winery tasting room, but she made it work, it was great to be able to order drinks during the class, and the location was otherwise fun and convenient.

My boyfriend and I recently took a Classpop Master Chef class with Adriana, and it was an unforgettable experience! Adriana’s passion and expertise were evident from the moment the class began. She started by sharing fascinating insights about the history and artistry of sushi, which made the experience both educational and inspiring. Under her guidance, we not only learned how to make sushi but also gained an appreciation for the craft behind it. Adriana created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and we thoroughly enjoyed the engaging conversations throughout the class. She was patient, encouraging, and made even the most novice chefs feel like pros by the end of the session. The evening was truly special, and we can’t wait to continue taking classes with Adriana. Whether you’re looking to try something new, improve your skills, or just have a fun and unique date night, I couldn’t recommend this class more highly. Adriana is a gem!

Fun class. Chef needs a little more experience under her belt to be sure she has all needed supplies (cutting boards, enough cooked rice etc). But we learned sushi !

Chef Adriana taught us to make paella from scratch for my grandma’s birthday. She explains the recipes in a comprehensive way and is very careful with everyone’s security.
