Our team took part in a company cooking class (Pasta Show Down) and had fun once things got underway. The instructor was engaging, and we enjoyed the hands-on experience and chance to connect as a group. However, the class started late (they were not ready when we arrived), went over by an hour or more, and felt somewhat disorganized at times. We were also expecting the food to be more substantial—it ended up being more of a tasting than a full meal. Overall, we had a good time, but the experience would have benefited from better organization and time management.

The couple's cooking class was so fun and informative. We learned how to make pasta and a special sauce from scratch! Chef Juan was also very helpful and really knows how to make our time worthwhile! @classpopevents

My husband and I took Chef Juan’s “Make Fresh Pasta German Style”. The class was so much fun. We learned lots of new techniques that I can’t wait to bring into our home kitchen. We plan to recreate the delicious meal we made during class for our family and friends. I know they’re going to be blown away as much as we were. Both Chef Juan and his Sioux Chef were amazing to work with. Chef Juan is obviously very passionate about connecting people by telling the stories of the world through food. His energy is palpable and so inviting. We are so grateful for the experience.
