I gave this class as a gift to my daughter-in-law for her 30th Birthday. She loved it! The chefs were great teachers and the food was delicious. What a great gift!

Nazario A.

Fantastic! Iâ€™ve made pies before and I learnt some cool new things. We were also given a fantastic lunch. Totally made the roommates jealous with our tasty pies.

Tami C.

04/09/2018

I thought the class was great. I would've liked to watch the pork shoulder being made since that was the basis for all the other dishes we made, but I think the detailed instructions will be enough to help me through it. All the food was delicious and Frances and Sasha were great to work with.

Smita D.

04/09/2018

My husband and I went to One Pork Roast: Five Dinners (or something like that title). We had so much fun! Each pair was assigned a dish and we all ate lunch together after everything was prepared. The event catered to people of all experience levels and the dishes were straightforward to prepare (so we will DEFINITELY make them all again with the recipes we got to take home). What was actually the best part were these quick kitchen "hacks" that I wouldn't have otherwise learned! Both Frances and Sasha were very helpful, engaged, patient, and supportive. We want to try taking some sort of pastry making class with them next!

Brandon G.

04/08/2018

Chefs Frances and Sasha are wonderful! This is such a fun and educational class. The dishes that we made, especially the roast pork shoulder, were delicious! There was also excellent selection of utensils and equipment to use. We would definitely come back!

I thought I was the queen of pie, but I learned how to improve my crust and now I'm hooked on rhubarb.
