My husband and I booked Chef Jamie's experience for a date night and it didn't disappoint. She has a great personality and we didn't feel rushed through the class.

This class was so great! We donâ€™t have enough good things to say. Chef Jamie welcomed us into her home that was clean, intimate, beautifully decorated and a perfect space for my mother and I to take this cooking class. We had the privilege of it being a private class. Chef Jamie explained each step thoroughly before beginning and continued to do so as we went through each step. At times, when I was hard on myself with not knowing what to do, she consistently reassured me that learning is part of the process and itâ€™s okay to make mistakes. Everything we made was so delicious and cooked/prepared to perfection. Was truly a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Chef Jamie!

My girlfriend and I had the best time celebrating her birthday with a rustic Italian cooking class in Chef Marianaâ€™s beautiful kitchen! Such a comfortable, fun environment with a gorgeous view of the river. We will absolutely be back for a sushi class!!

Booked the class Pasta and Other Italian Classics with Chef Mariana in Brooklyn (Williamsburg)

What an amazing experience! I decided to do this class with my partner for her birthday and we had such a great time. Chef Mariana is incredibly knowledgeable and very kind. She taught us to make fresh pasta, a classic bolognese sauce, a Carbonaro sauce, an eggplant appetizer, and a tiramisu for dessert. We laughed and discussed food, life and everything in between. Chef Mariana thoughtfully answered all our questions as we went through the process and was very encouraging. Her space and the environment she created was professional, clean, and the view from her windows, overseeing the water pulled the whole experience together. The food was soooo good! She served us and because it was my partnerâ€™s birthday, she put a candle in her tiramisu. It is obvious we had a great time? Lol. Honestly, if youâ€™re looking to learn from a pro who makes the process simple and fun, Chef Mariana is it. My partner and I would definitely do this again. We had a beautiful time!

Booked the class Pasta and Other Italian Classics with Chef Mariana in Brooklyn (Williamsburg)

I had the pleasure of attending an in-person cooking class led by Chef Mariana, and I must say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Chef Mariana's expertise and passion for cooking shone through as she guided us through the art of pasta making. Her explanations were thorough, making the process easy to understand, even for beginners. The class was a delightful blend of learning and hands-on experience. We not only learned how to make two different types of pasta but also received detailed instructions on crafting a delectable vegetable Bolognese sauce and mastering the intricacies of crafting a perfect tiramisu. Chef Mariana's teaching style was engaging and patient, making the whole experience enjoyable and educational. What stood out was Chef Mariana's flexibility and attention to individual needs. She graciously modified the menu to accommodate my dietary restrictions without compromising on taste or quality, ensuring that everyone could fully participate and enjoy the dishes. The setting for the class was equally impressive. The apartment where the cooking class took place boasted one of the most breathtaking views of the city I've ever seen. The combination of great food, expert teaching, and a stunning backdrop created an ambiance that was truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this cooking class to anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience. Chef Mariana's skills, along with her accommodating and knowledgeable approach, make this class a must-do. I'm already considering returning for their sushi class, as I'm confident it will be just as exceptional as this one. Whether for friends, family, or personal enrichment, this cooking class is a culinary adventure that's worth every moment.

I booked chef jamie for my wife and I as a special Valentineâ€™s day date. My wife loves to cook and i absolutely love that i never have to, so i wasnt sure what to expect, but the entire night blew us both away. Immediately we felt comfortable, excited , and hanging on every word Chef jamie said. She was well versed and able to explain each step, no matter the skill level coming in to the class. But even more than that, she made it fun, relatable and engaging. We made a crostini to start that im still dreaming about, perfect pillowy gnocchi and tiramisu with left overs for the whole week! Chef Jamie was spunky , personable, educational, and made cooking fun, plain and simple. I would highly recommend Chef Jamie to any one who wants a night out with great company, great atmosphere, and even better food ( at the end she even lets you lick the spoon !)
