Couples Cooking Class - Food That Empowers Your Mind in Mid-City Area

I had a wonderful time cooking with Chef Luana! It was an intimate cooking experience where we learned how to make a delicious saffron risotto and chocolate mousse. We also prepared a pineapple burrata appetizer and a cannellini bean bruschetta. It was very educational and a fun, authentic, and collaborative environment. It was great to hear Chef Luana's stories from owning a restaurant in Italy and her tips and tricks for Italian cooking. I highly recommend this course and I look forward to trying out her other courses!

A wonderful experience! Chef Luana did a fantastic job of giving a very hands-on experience, and her recipes are delicious. Thank you!

What a wonderful experience cooking risotto with Chef Luana this evening. All the ingredients were fresh and some brought back from her hometown in Italy. I really love risotto and I could never make it to the quality of a restaurant at home, but now with her instruction, I am able to do it.

I bought this cooking class for my mom and her two girlfriends. They loved every moment of it. Hopefully, I can get her another class before she heads back to the east coast. I highly recommend Chef Luna

Great chef. Food was delicious, light, and tasty. We enjoyed our experience.

Chef Luana provided helpful, clear demonstrations and descriptions of how to cook delicious Italian foods with basic, but excellent, ingredients for a meal that combined delicious, inventive flavor combinations. She helped us understand the keys to producing such a meal in ways that gave us confidence we could also succeed at such cooking. Thank you Chef Luana!

We learned a lot, from the right ingredients to the right techniques, and the food turned out perfect. It was a very enjoyable experience, highly recommend.

I took the class “Food that Empowers Your Mind” with my two colleagues for a team bonding experience and we had a fantastic time! The food was fresh, delicious, and we learned valuable tips for making risotto. Chef Luana was a joy to be around. She has so much knowledge to share about cooking and it inspired me to spend more time cooking at home because it can taste better and be better for you than ordering out. We work at an environmental nonprofit and I appreciated the sustainability aspect of it as well. No plastic water bottles, she gave us each water glasses and had a water cooler, we each got our own hand towel for the bathroom, and the food is bought in larger quantities. I recommend Chef Luana to anyone wanting to learn or be inspired to cook more, and it’s a great unique opportunity for work/family/friend events.

We had a fabulous time at Chef Luana’s class! If you always dreamed of being transported to Italy to attend a cooking class, book one with her first. We felt like we learned so much about authentic Italian cooking techniques, flavors and products. Our friend was celebrating her birthday and Chef Luana made it so special for her with birthday decor and a delicious chocolate cake. I would highly recommend her class to family and friends!

Absolutely one of our best ideas in a long time. The food, just like the conversation, was full of flavor and surprises. Chef Luana is the real deal. Full of stories, instruction and Italian soul. We weren’t sure how the evening would go but our highest hopes were surpassed 100x. Can’t wait to do it again. Wow.

Offering Chef Luana's class to my daughter was the best Christmas gift. She enjoyed the evening, learned a lot and felt like she was in Italy. She highly recommends the experience, as well as her friend who also participated in the class.

Luana is an amazing chef! We had so much fun and the food was delicious!

I chose to cook with Chef Luana with and for my nephews as a going away gift and they were amazed at the vegetarian dish created, especially by how simple it was! Cooking with Chef Luana is much like cooking with family. Her home is beautiful and inviting and she loves to help!

Chef Luana was amazing! Such a sweet woman and amazing cook / teacher

Great home cook and delicious meal. Will come back again

Chef Luana was amazing. Very kind and lovely. Her risotto recipe was delicious, light and healthy. I usually don’t order this at restaurants because it’s too heavy. Hers was perfect. Highly recommend.

Chef Luana hosted my girlfriend and I for a private risotto cooking session and it was amazing. She took care of the prep work hours before our arrival and let us do the fun stuff of preparing our appetizers and cooking the dish itself. Chef Luana covered every detail to ensure a very private and exclusive dining experience! She is also a very pleasant person to be around. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Our class was wonderful. As soon as we walked in, Chef Luana made us feel at home. She decorated the table for Valentines Day which was a thoughtful touch! There were two other couples there and it was just the right size group to get to know each other a bit and enjoy a meal with everyone together. We each had a few minutes to work with her in the kitchen, and the rest of the time we listened and watched as the recipe came together. The only thing that would have been nice is if we each had some food preparation task or something else we could do to participate more. Overall it was a really fun and interesting experience. :)
