We took the pasta 101 class celebrating one of my daughter's birthday. Her siblings joined us and we had so much fun. I love chef Donna she was funny and informative. Excellent teacher.

Neda S. Neda S.

Booked the class Feast Like A Greek with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

We had such a wonderful experience! The resident chef split the time wonderfully between explaining the flavor pairings, noting preparation timing tips and showing / teaching us proper techniques in the kitchen. The meal was delicious and the kitchen / dining area were beautiful. Would highly recommend!
