Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha
We had Chef Shasha for my sister’s birthday celebration and we had such a fantastic and memorable time. Chef Shasha is fun and she taught us so many things about baking and cooking. We made bruschetta, ravioli and fettuccine pasta as well as a rich chocolate mousse. This experience will be remembered forever and on top of that we have learned skills to make us better cooks/bakers. I would highly recommend Chef Shasha for your class. It is worth every dollar!
Booked the class Pasta-Making Date Night with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (University City)
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!
Booked the class Authentic Brazilian Feast with Chef Paulo in Chula Vista
We had the very amazing time with Paulo for the cooking class. All the dishes we cooked were absolutely delicious and he was so knowledgeable and provided many helpful tips for the future. Paulo, thank you for sharing your expertise and enthusiasm for cooking with fresh local ingredients. I look forward to the next class.
Booked the class 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!
Booked the class Classic Italian Desserts with Chef ShaSha in Chula Vista
Chef ShaSha was a delight. The deserts were extraordinary. Can’t wait to receive the recipes so I can make them for our next holiday dinner. Hopefully I get the same results without her supervision!

Booked the class The Art of Homemade Pasta with Chef ShaSha in Santee
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!

Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha in San Diego
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.

Booked the class Traditional Thai Staples with Chef Krong in Vista
Chef Krong was amazing! She brought all the ingredients and plans as expected, was on time, and the food turned out great. Made for perfect valentines day because we had a great, intimate experience, delicious food, and no stressful preparation required. My wife and I both cook and we have experience in a range of cuisines. Chef Krong was great about swapping dishes we had already made allowing us to learn new recipes. The biggest standout for us was her descriptions of how to properly cut and use ingredients and demonstrations of the cues for what it looks like to move on to next steps. Would book again 100%.

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!

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!
