What a fun night! Chef Crystal made pasta-making a blast. She put tremendous thought into preparing a lesson that let us enjoy the process. Once the pasta was made, she took everything into the kitchen, whipped up a delicious sauce, and served us a very special dinner. While we were savoring the meal, she was busy tidying everything up, leaving us to enjoy the rest of our evening. Thank you, Chef Crystal!
