Chef Janet was great. She was very knowledgeable and attentive. We showed up a few minutes late and at the end of the class, she made sure to update us on the information we missed. I'd definitely attend one of her other courses.

Janet arrived totally prepared with everything we needed. She was collaborative and quickly read the room, providing the right amount of detail for our group. She circulated to all the teams while we were working, providing feedback and guidance. She learned everyone's names - impressive! Her facilitation made everything run smoothly, so we could enjoy a fun team building event. I would definitely recommend her class!

Janet was great at instructing us on how to make homemade pasta. She brought the beef and pasta sauce, so you’re not cooking that part. I liked it this way, because after a long work day I wasn’t wanting to make all parts of a pasta ourselves. It was focused on making the dough, pressing it and then cutting it. I like that it was at a brewery. We could grab a beer while cooking. She was great about walking around and giving us tips to make sure we are doing the steps just right.
