cannoli with chocolate chips | Classpop Shot

Join Chef Ricky for an interactive cooking class where you'll learn how to make pasta from scratch and fresh ricotta to use in a few timeless Italian dishes. First, you'll learn to prepare a traditional shrimp scampi with a light white wine sauce and fresh herbs. Then, layer your homemade pasta and ricotta cheese into a decadent lasagne al forno, a simplified yet elegant take on the classic lasagne. Then you'll sharpen your knife skills as you learn to prepare a vibrant vegetable ratatouille. For a sweet finish, you'll put your ricotta to use again, this time as a filling in sweet cannolis.

This was such a fun class! Ricky made it very engaging and informative. Only 4 people in the class at his house, which made it intimate and not intimidating. We even got to take home a ton of leftovers! All the food was great. Definitely worth the money. Will be doing more classes with Ricky.

The most amazing experience. This exceeded all of my expectations and was a great price for the amount of sushi that we made. Great idea for a special date night, and you will leave full with a ton of leftovers!! Thanks Chef Ricky! I have already recommended this to family and many friends!

Let me just start with Chef Ricky is beyond amazing and attending a cooking class with him will leave you with no regrets. I surprised my husband with a cooking class date and boy was he surprised. We arrived to the address provided for the Sous Vide Cooking class and upon arrival we were a little confused being it was located in a residential neighborhood. Once we entered the location we were blown away. The kitchen was stunning and the hospitality was warming! We felt so welcomed and ready to take on the challenge in the kitchen, though it wasn’t a challenge at all with chef. Chef Ricky was great at breaking down all the steps that went into the meal we were preparing down to the science of some of the machines we used. He made it extremely fun, as cooking should be. Chefs knowledge on life it’s self was maybe my favorite part of it all. We came home with more knowledge than just cooking. Janet (chefs wife) was also fabulous. From her beautiful conversation to her above and beyond hospitality. Sending us home with hot coffee and cookies straights from Hawaii. There is no doubt that will we be booking another class with chef Ricky. We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful opportunity and experience!
