Teaching Table

Easy, yummy recipes! Very fun to learn!

Wonderful class. It was a small class so we could ask questions at any time. The making of the cookies was explained so what I thought would be impossible was easily makable. The time was used effectively and when something didn’t work out exactly, Laura wrote to us the next day with pictures.

Laura was great at explaining how to make the cookies along with giving some good baking tips. Prior to class, she gave a great ingredients and prep list which helped with the pace of the class. My cookies turned out great. I can’t wait to share them with my family!

We had a great time in the Pierogi Feast class! Laura made it very interactive and was very patient with any questions that came up! She made it very easy to follow the steps. We really enjoyed the class and the pierogies were delicious!! We will definitely book another class soon.

Learned some good techniques in cooking. Delicious recipe.

This class was so creative, informative, and fun! Loved the teacher and I made at least a dozen each of 4 types of dumplings. So many creative ways to present little packets of deliciousness! So glad I signed up for this class!

This was a great class--but very fast-paced. The cookies were delicious.

Chef Laura is great!!

I really enjoyed the class and thought Laura was exceptional. She had a great pace but also allowed time for q and a’s and welcomed everyone’s comments and suggestions. I have been baking sourdough for a year and learned new tips in the class. Thank you!

Laura is super. Her recipes are delicious and she makes the class fun! Looking forward to taking another class with her.

Great review of spices, differences from herbs, and ways to create and test spice blends.

Class was too fast paced, and the instructor should have given us the substitutions in the email ahead of time.

Great and Fun Class!

Amazing class!

Great teacher. Fun class. Would take it again to see what she could make!

Teacher was accessible for diverse group with many questions. Instructions for the prep work prior to class need to be more clear.

Laura is an excellent teacher. Great content and pacing and friendliness!

Our instructor was friendly and gave very clear instructions. She also had a great sense of humor, emphasizing the degree to which mistakes were okay, which made us feel relaxed and comfortable with trying something new and challenging. The instructor’s recipe for dough resulted in dry and dense ravioli. Upon further research, we found out that ravioli dough should have olive oil in it, which would have helped many of the issues we had, which our instructor omitted and made no mention of. There was also prep for two raviolis, which was a lot of prep to do. And there was not time to actually make two ravioli, so it would have been better to just focus on one recipe. The instructor also gave instruction to the people with pasta-making machines first, which left those of us rolling out our dough by hand feeling behind, without guidance, and with dried out dough. My husband and I are very good cooks who have worked in Michelin-starred restaurants. We didn’t have experience making pasta, but general cooking knowledge. However, the issues we had with the dough led to us making nearly inedible ravioli. They were dense, dry, and chewy. Very disappointing.

Recipes were quite good and we moved at a good pace.

The instructor was pleasant, confident, and knew Italian ravioli Preparation techniques. My family and I were overwhelmed by the scope of the class. In the course of two hours we prepared fillings for two types of ravioli, Made homemade pasta With the KitchenAid and filled ravioli and tortellini. We still had one ball of dough left at the end of the class. On our own we made the tasty sauces which were simple enough and the instructions written were clear and easy to follow. The class requires one hour of prep time before attending.
