What Guests Are Saying About These Experiences With Chef Aunt V
Holly D.
08/04/2025
I had a wonderful time with my 2 friends at our Italian cooking class on Friday night, August 1, with Chef Aunt V in Naperville. Our group of seven included two other couples in it that we didn’t know, but we all got along great and had a lot of fun. The kitchen set up worked well and was beautiful, very nice location for this. Chef Veronica is so knowledgeable and I learned so much from her teaching knife skills, hygiene, safety, buying produce, growing organically, as well as the detailed cooking of the three dishes that we made. It makes a huge difference to be at an in-person class instead of taking a zoom class with Cozymeal, which is what I did previously! The food we made was delicious & we got to take some home too. I will definitely take another class with Chef Aunt V in the future.

We had a very fun experience learning to make ricotta tortelloni as a family for my aunts birthday. Not only did I learn how to make the fish, I also learned a lot about knife skills and nutrition! Aunt V was so nice, knowledgeable and prepared. She even made is fun for my 5 and 7 year old, giving them tasks they can handle and feel like part of the adults. I would highly recommend!
