We had an amazing time at Chef Aaron’s cooking class this past weekend! The environment was wonderful, and being at the chef’s home made the experience feel rustic, warm, and personal. Chef Aaron was an incredible teacher, guiding us through making pasta by hand and preparing delicious sauces from scratch. Everyone taking turns with different cooking activities made it feel like a big family meal. We loved prepping fresh herbs, chopping and crushing ingredients, and being fully hands-on. Chef Aaron was also very open and responsive, answering both group and one-on-one questions. To top it all off, we enjoyed our pasta creations with a side salad and olive oil gelato (yum)! We will definitely be coming back for more classes.
