We made Ricotta Cannoli, Panna Cotta, Ricciarelli and chocolate ganache. It was such a great family bonding experience and the desserts came out extremely delicious. My favorite dessert was the Panna Cotta. When I found this class on CozyMeal I knew I wanted to try something different and Chef Shasha was such a pleasant instructor.

Pasta-Making Date Night

Chef ShaSha is such a delight! I booked this experience for my boyfriend’s birthday since he loves Italian food and has always wanted to learn how to make pasta from scratch. A few days prior to the event, Chef ShaSha called me and we chatted about the menu. Unfortunately her new ravioli maker hadn’t come in yet so we decided to pivot to making Pappardelle pasta with a red sauce instead. The morning of, she arrived early and brought all necessary items we needed (fresh and prepped ingredients, a pasta roller, etc). She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history behind our food items, given her culinary background and education, and very patient and flexible with us. I really enjoyed how hands-on we got to be. We aren’t the most outgoing people but Chef ShaSha immediately broke the ice and brought so much fun and laughter to the experience. Our food turned out amazing with her help, and most importantly my boyfriend loved the entire event. Can’t speak highly of her enough; would definitely recommend booking!

Chef ShaSha was amazing! She was kind and patient with the kiddos and made the entire experience very enjoyable for all of use. The kids learned how to make bruschetta, fettuccini and angel hair pasta and to top it all off made the most delicious ginger bread cookies. Wonderful experience!

Preparing Ravioli From Scratch
with Chef ShaSha
in San Diego (Clairemont)
We had an amazing time with chef ShaSha! She was very knowledgeable, sharing with us tips and tricks from her years of experience while also teaching us about the cuisine we were making. She asked what our preferences were before we started; if we wanted to be more hands on or hands off with the cooking and if we wanted any advice/input on our technique as we went. This helped curate an environment that made us comfortable and suited us best. Not only is chef ShaSha knowledgable, but she is fun and enjoyable to converse with. We had so much fun and would absolutely cook with her again! Thank you chef!

Thank you Chef Sha Sha! We had a fabulous experience!
Chef Sha Sha came to my house to teach us ladies how to make Bruschetta, Cannoli, and ravioli with tomato sauce (yum!!) from scratch. This was a birthday shindig. There were 5 of us. I have a small kitchen, but she was flexible with the workflow and made it happen. She stayed over the scheduled 3hr time because she took her time with each of us on the pasta machine. She's very patient, thorough, attention to detail, and ensured each of us was hands. She even quizzed us throughout. :) Chef explained the whys, the hows, the don'ts, and suggested options and alternatives. She is so personable and pleasant; good times! It really was a fun and unique experience. Our food came out picture perfect and sooo tasty! We highly recommend Chef Sha Sha for any cooking lessons.

We had ShaSha over to our home to teach my daughter and her friend how to make fresh homemade pasta and panna cotta. The girls loved learning the tips and tricks ShaSha included with her lessons that I know they will remember as they venture onto cooking for from-scratch dishes. ShaSha was lovely and personable and we'd definitely work with her again. And we can't forget the food - so incredible delicious!

Today we had Chef ShaSha come to our home for an Italian cooking class. She had all the cooking supplies and food to prep and cook with her. She went over what she was going to show us how to make and gave us several choices for the pasta making, the bread, and the dessert. Everything was well organized! We liked that she would show us what and how to do stuff and then let us step in to finish the dish or start another process. My partner and I have different skill levels of cooking, he’s much more skilled than I, but Chef went with the flow, and we each did things that were new. It got more exciting as we went along. She even let us like the bowls of leftover ingredients for dessert and cheese. Yum!! It was like having a friend teach us how to cook the food. She is a great teacher/friend as she knows her Italian cooking and presents in a way that is easy to catch on. We also loved when she told us about the history of Italian cooking, the different foods that are made in the north and south of Italy. We really like that she’s going to give us the recipes of what we made so we can try them ourselves. After she left, we ate the ravioli, the bread (so good but can’t remember the name), and the dessert. There is plenty left for more meals later in the week. Thank you, again, Chef ShaSha!! We will definitely have you over again and this time we’ll bring more friends and family.

We had a great afternoon baking Italian desserts with Shasha. Everything turned out delicious and it was great to learn some new reciepes and try out some items I might have never thought to try. This was a celebration for the 16 year old who is finding a love for baking. An enjoyable afternoon and amazing guidance from Shasha, highly recommend and will plan for another event or date night.

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!
