  • Homemade Ravioli

    Anonymous review on 10/26/2024
    We had a great time with Chelly during our Ravioli class. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. We will be taking more of her classes.
  • Wood Burn a Charcuterie Board

    Anonymous review on 1/24/2024
    This was GREAT! Wasn't sure how this would work as a virtual class but it was terrific. Instructions were clear, materials easy to use, the 'pinning' feature on Zoom allowed us to see detailed demonstration better than if in-person, and a group of us were able to take this class together in spite of being apart.

  • Classic Handmade Pasta

    Anonymous review on 12/20/2019
    Making fettuccine pasta with alfredo sauce from scratch was as entertaining as it was educational, but Jyoti Patil was the best part of it all. Jyoti greeted me after arriving 15 minutes before the others. She introduced me to her assistant, the menu, and engaging conversation. The others were greeted with the same outgoing personality; this made the group more comfortable with one another. Each station was accompanied with a personal story that made cooking feel more hobby than chore. While the pasta was delicious, the best part was arriving earlier than the other guests.
