Wow! Chef Shasha really knows her stuff. She is so kind, so patient, so courteous, so thorough, so knowledgeable!! She deftly navigated my small kitchen and helped us prepare some of the most delicious ravioli I’ve ever had. Everything was from scratch. She even made HOMEMADE RICOTTA for our dish! The food she brought was all organic and very high quality. She modified the recipes as we needed and even suggested more options for the next time. I really enjoyed this event and highly recommend Chef Shasha! I can’t wait to try homemade pasta on my own and use my new skills. :) 10 out of 10!

Chef Shasha was extremely knowledgeable and a delight to share space with. It was my wife’s first time learning to make pasta and she had a blast. She gave us tips in proper knife skills and recommendations on tools that would help us cook like the pros. I would highly recommend her

Can't thank Chef ShaSha enough for a fun, informative, interactive and engaging experience. She was very well-organized and efficient and provided all the necessary ingredients and tools. Her demonstrations and instructions were easy to follow, and she guided the six of us through the delight of pasta making. Great job, Chef!

This in-home experience exceeded expectations. Chef ShaSha exudes professionalism and industry knowledge. She was amazing and very patient with our 6 year old that joined in on the fun of making homemade pasta. The food turned out amazing and my wife and I learned so much about how pasta should taste versus what we were used to. We cannot recommend enough both this course and Chef ShaSha! Another class is definitely in our future!

Amazing! Incredible! ShaSha came with high quality products, ingredients, and very well prepared! She created a relaxed fun atmosphere for my husband and I and our 3 daughters. Everyone was involved and was able to participate when wanted to. She demonstrated some fun techniques and was available for questions. My husband who loves to make everything from scratch and hopes one day to learn Italian cooking in Italy, was able to learn many tips and tricks and techniques he's been curious about for awhile! the Bruschetta, Ravioli, and Panocotta tasted incredible!! We had a blast and it was the perfect birthday gift experience for him! Thank you ShaSha!!

This experience for my son’s tenth birthday was AMAZING with Chef Shasha. He’s an aspiring chef so she gave him and his friends some fun, valuable culinary knowledge! And the meal prepared turned out amazing! Panna cotta, antipasto kabobs and pasta Alfredo…literally chef’s kiss! The kids had a great time, I picked up some tips as well and we can’t wait to put our new skills to the test! Highly recommend working with Chef Shasha!!

We just had Chef Sha Sha come to our home to do a pasta dinner with our 16 year old grandson for his birthday and my husband. They had an amazing time. They learned lots. We will definitely do you chef Sha Sha again. She was so nice and my grandson is very shy and she made him feel very comfortable. He told me he had a lot of fun. Which means a lot thank you Chef we will see you again for sure. 1530.

My husband, 15-yr old daughter, and I had a great experience with Chef ShaSha. We chose the pasta-making experience at our home, for which Chef ShaSha prepared all ingredients (all fresh), including freshly made tomato sauce. She not only instructed us on technique, she helped us understand why foods are prepared in a certain manner--and even stored in a certain way. She was fun, patient, and overall great to learn from. We all really enjoyed our cooking session with her. I highly recommend taking a class from her.

My niece and I had a wonderful time with Chef ShaSha. Even before the experience began, she contacted me a couple of times to touch base and ensure that our experience would be perfect. Chef ShaSha even tweaked the menu to favor our preferences. I highly recommend to book with this company and if able to, book with this chef in particular.

Chef Shasha came to our house to make raviolis. She made cooking pastas look so easy and with an amazing results. We made raviolis, bruschetta and panna cotta everything tastes so good!

This was an amazing experience. Chef ShaSha is gracious, informative and thorough in her preparation & execution. This was a birthday gift for my 13 year old granddaughter. We loved the mix of Skewered Antipasto Kabobs, Fettuccini Pasta made from scratch with delicious Alfredo sauce and authentic Italian Pignoli Cookies. We learned so much from Chef creating a cherished memory. Thank you Chef ShaSha!

I surprised my girlfriend with this class for our anniversary and she was thrilled! This was an amazing experience! My girlfriend and I have tried making homemade pasta many times in the past with little success. With the support of Chef ShaSha we made perfect fettuccine on the first try. Chef ShaSha was great company and I would recommend her to anyone looking to up their cooking game and have an excellent time with friends and/or family.

Chef ShaSha was incredible! I got the cooking class as a birthday gift for husband and we had so much fun. Chef brought amazing ingredients and taught us all about sourcing quality ingredients, knife techniques and numerous nuggets of cooking wisdom from her years in the kitchen. I absolutely recommend hiring her for your in-home cooking experience. I cannot wait to book her for another class with friends! Highly, highly recommend.

Having Chef ShaSha come to our house to make ravioli was a great experience. Communicated a few days before the appointment to finalize the menu and go over any preferences. She is very personable and knowledgeable. It was great having her give tips and tricks along the way. Would highly recommend.

Chef Sha was absolutely amazing! I booked her for my one year anniversary, and tailored the menu to what I thought my boyfriend would enjoy. CHef Sha worked graciously with me to plan the perfect meal. She had prepared the most delicious Sicilian red sauce with sausage and beef braciole prior to coming to my apartment to make the rest of the meal. Once she arrived, we made caprese salad, lemon panna cotta, and the best part was the homemade fettucine!! She gave me and my boyfriend so many helpful tips in preparing food as well as presentation. I learned so much without feeling instructed. My boyfriend told me it was the best anniversary gift he has ever been given! Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!!

Chef ShaSha was amazing! I purchased a private, in home cooking class for my parents as a (Mother's Day and dad's birthday) present. It was a wonderful experience. They made ravioli from scratch and Chef ShaSha brought all the supplies and ingredients. She was a patient teacher, allowing my family to participate as much or as little as they liked. My parents made a last minute addition, inviting two other guests and Chef ShaSha was most accommodating. She called ahead of time to make sure that the menu was everything we wanted and finalized details assuring us that everything was on track and ready to go. A relief for someone trying to coordinate from a few states away. I will be calling her again!

Chef ShaSha was very knowledgeable and prepared a great menu for us. She is obviously very passionate about what she does - we will be using her lessons for a lifetime! Food was delicious to say the least, conversation was light and fun, and Chef ShaSha is like an encyclopedia full of food and cooking knowledge. We are so grateful to have had her as our Chef, we'll definitely be back soon.

Absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing and ShaSha was a wonderful and patient teacher. She really took the time to explain things to us and show us how thoughtfully food could be made. We went from hardly cooking to make a three course meal (including from scratch pasta). It was a delight having her in our home!
