Wonderful class from a wonderful cook. My friend and I really enjoyed our time at Chef LuanaвЂ™s and highly recommend this class. We learned how to make spaghetti and fettuccine, with two different sauces. She also generously shared dessert with us.

My friend and I really enjoyed this hands-on experience. Chef Luana is not only very knowledgeable, but sheвЂ™s warm & welcoming. The food was delicious (hard to believe I had a hand in it!) and we canвЂ™t wait to go back for another class very soon!

Such an amazing experience! Went for my anniversary with my girlfriend and we both had such an amazing time. The difference between fresh pasta and homemade is night and day. On top of that we had the best croissant that we have ever tried. 100% am coming back

Chef Luana is a wonderful cooking instructor! We had a really fun time creating pasta from scratch- Chef Luana's own recipe from her restaurant in Italy. On top of that, we got to dine in her home and have her home-made tiramisu for desert after. It was truly a fun and unique experience. Would highly recommend anyone who is interested in learning how to cook an authentic Italian recipe to check out her classes. She hosts everything from 1:1 classes (what we did) to group birthday events. Thank you Chef Luana!!

Luana was the most welcoming. Her kitchen is yours. She made us feel apart of the culinary experience. We prepared two pastas, tomato spaghetti was out of this world. Coming back just for the pasta

Beena D.

08/20/2023

Had so much fun learning how to make pasta from scratch with Chef Luana! She taught us the proper technique for rolling out fettuccine and spaghetti. The pasta was so silky smooth and the sauce she served it with was delicious. Thank you for having us in your home even in the middle of a hurricane and earthquake!

This was really fun. Chef had last-minute addition of 2 more people, but only 4 of us total. The food was incredible and it was really unique to get a class in her own home.

Our experience with Luana was wonderful in every way. She is the perfect host - very warm and personable - and provided us with a very memorable and enjoyable class. The food was absolutely delicious and we will certainly be back again to learn more new skills. My family came away inspired and very satisfied. Thank you Luana!

One of the most fun culinary experiences IвЂ™ve ever had. Chef Luana is the real deal. To be making pasta from scratch in her own home felt like we were in Italy. SheвЂ™s been cooking since she was 18 and was a great teacher. We could really feel the love for what she does and in the food. We loved sitting down afterwards and saying вЂњwe made this pasta!вЂќ And it was SO good. Highly recommend for a date night. We met some fun people. Overall a wonderful evening!

Justin G.

06/11/2023

Chef Luanas pasta class was so fun! Me and my partner both enjoyed it. She was funny, sweet, entertaining and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Oh and not to mention the food was a 10 out of 10!

Fantastic and authentic experience. Chef Luana is an excellent chef and teacher. The class was super fun and the pasta delicious. Would highly recommend.

We had a fabulous time. Chef Luana took her time and showed us step by step how to make the pasta dough; process the dough through the machine; and to cook the pasta. I didn't realize that it was such a delicate process but a rewarding process. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We are looking forward to another cooking class with Chef Luana.

Cesar G.

Chef Luana is very personable, knowledgeable, and loving. She taught me and my girlfriend how to make delicious homemade spaghetti and linguini. I would definitely recommend.

Edwin R.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Luana was an incredible chef, and amazing host. She was great at teaching us how to make pasta, and was also incredibly sweet, patient and fun. I cannot stress how good the food was. Will definitely try to do another one of her classes. Her classes are a must

Our pasta making class with Chef Luana was fantastic. The directions to her apartment were very clear. Her apartment was clean and organized with lots of work space. The class was small, only consisting of four of us, which catered to her providing us with individual attention. She had previously prepared two different sauce types that we got to try. Once we prepared the two different pastas she cooked them up and we ate a delicious meal. You could tell Chef Luana was very passionate about her work for cooking and teaching. This was a great activity and I would definitely come again in the future.

Chef Luana ГЁ unвЂ™esperta di pasta! Abbiamo fatto due tipi di pasta e abbiamo mangiato tutto! Il cibo era eccellente e la lezione era divertente :) torniamo presto! Chef Luana is a pasta expert! We made two types of pasta and ate everything! The food was excellent and the lesson was fun :) we will return soon!

Chef Luana's class was seriously unbelievably good. It exceeded expectations by FAR. He authenticity was amazing and instantly gave an effortless family environment. Nothing was forced and the other guests cooking were amazing. I cannot recommend her class enough, the food was amazing and she added amazing touches for two of our birthday guests Unforgettable experience and looking forward to trying her pizza making course

Luana was an incredible teacher we had so much fun learning how to make pasta and definitely want to come back or use chef luana to cater my dinners!

Elisa G.

06/06/2022

I'd never taken a cooking class before so I didn't know what to expect. The other three guests were nice. I have been eating the extra pasta I was sent home with for the last two days which was delicious. There are a lot of steps to making pasta from scratch and it definitely gives you an appreciation for the time and effort that goes into preparing good food. Her hand-baked Bruschetta was fantastic! I might just have to come back for a bread-making class! Thank you, Chef Luana

Jenna Y.

04/22/2022

Chef Luana is the absolute sweetest, most amazing host and teacher!! She is a seasoned professional and welcomes you into her home, like you are family, to share her talent. Thank you for the incredible evening, Chef!!

Casey H.

Chef Luana was a wonderful instructor. She clearly articulated instructions and physically guided my friend and I through the process of making pasta from scratch with her unique charisma and humor. The highlight of this experience for me was being able to sample Chef Luana's green spinach Tagliatelle - it was one of the best plates of pasta I've had in the 4 years that I've lived in LA. Of course, the plate of pasta my friend and I made was delicious as well, and Chef Luana sent us both home with some extras. Couple the time block of education with a three course meal and some leftovers, and I'd say you're definitely getting your bang for your buck out of this Cozymeal.

03/21/2022

I wasn't sure what to expect walking into my first Cozymeal experience. I see the emails all the time and finally decided to try pasta making. Then, I arrived late; but, by the end of the night, my anxiety had melted away. I made and ate some amazing pasta and found some new friends. IвЂ™ve watched pasta making online, but itвЂ™s not quite the same. Chef Luana took care in guiding us through the process of making pasta from beginning to end (mistakes or not). We cooked and shared stories with each other. I felt welcomed and full with food. It was a great experience! Grazie!

Brianna G.

02/21/2022

Chef Luana provided the most incredible experience! Our family had so much fun. Chef imports all of her ingredients from Italy so this experience felt extremely authentic. We can't wait to take another class with her!

Omeed B.

02/20/2022

We highly recommend taking Chef LuanaвЂ™s pasta making class!! We had so much fun and sheвЂ™s so sweet and knowledgeable. It was my wifeвЂ™s birthday and she even made a cake from scratch for her! We had an amazing day!!

Ryan S.

02/19/2022

Absolutely incredible experience. Chef Luana treated us so well we felt like we became family for a few hours. She was incredibly welcoming and sweet, spoiled us silly, and taught us very well. The pasta was delicious and we had enough to take plenty home. If youвЂ™ve ever thought about doing something like this, definitely do it. This was one of our favorite date nights Thank you SO much Chef Luana!!

Danny D.

02/12/2022

Chef Luana is a wonderful human and a brilliant chef. The experience was great and we learned some very key tricks to pasta making that weвЂ™ll use forever. Thank you chef!

AJ B.

02/07/2022

Chef Luana's class - the Fundamentals of Handmade Pasta - was terrific. Chef Luana was so welcoming & warm, she really made the class fun & went above & beyond to make it a top notch experience. The pasta & other food Chef Luana prepared for us was to die for. Can't thank Chef Luana enough for the great experience & can't recommend this class enough.

Kayli M.

Chef Luana was accommodating, warm and great at what she does! It was a joy to learn from her and hear about her amazing life experiences and family. I definitely know who to ask for recommendations when I visit Italy!

Tony P.

Had a great time and plan on going back to to learn some authentic Italian cooking. Highly recommend!

Robbyn J.

Chef Luana provided a delicious and memorable experience! The food was wonderful, and it is clear that she puts lots of heart, time, and effort into her meals. She created a great environment for us to learn how to make pasta, and our group really enjoyed the evening!

Dominic L.

Her pasta recipe is the best! I have never tasted a more "al dente" pasta!

Lan N.

11/27/2021

We would highly recommend Chef Luana and her class! Chef Luana prepared a wonderful evening for my brother-in-lawвЂ™s birthday. She even put up Happy Birthday decorations in her home to make the night special for him. We enjoyed learning about making tomato sauce and spaghetti noodles from scratch. Chef Luana also prepared several appetizers, an additional main to accompany the spaghetti, along with affogato for dessert. The food was delicious - none of us had ever tasted pasta so fresh. Chef Luana created a very warm and welcoming atmosphere, was very accommodating of our learning pace (my brother-in-law has autism), and made it a wonderful evening to remember! We will definitely be booking another class with her in the future.

Justin R.

Perfect experience if you'd like to learn something new or for a date. Service is great , instructions are clear and food is impeccable. 100% recommend this experience

JAKE S.

09/21/2021

At first the price may seem steep for a simple lesson, especially for a dish as simple as Pasta. (and don't get me wrong! Pasta can be a very simple dish). But I wanted to take my girlfriend to Chef Luana's course just for the experience at first. It was only after that I realized that making simple store-bought pasta at home (boxed pasta, tomato sauce, etc) is entirely different than having the chance to learn an AUTHENTIC recipe, passed down through a real family, cooked for generations by real people. It was hands down, the best pasta I've ever had. And it was just 4 ingredients. Definitely worth it, and now i'll be able to make this food for the rest of my life!

Dylan L.

09/07/2021

Chef Luana is the best! We had such a wonderful night filled with laughter cooking and absolutely the best pasta we have ever had! I definitely recommend this class, Chef Luana goes out of her way to make it a special evening!

Emily M.

08/31/2021

She was so sweet and unreal! She hung a "Happy Birthday" sign for my fiance since this was a birthday gift. (so thoughtful). The classes were fun and we were so full at the end.

Kristen W.

07/26/2021

We have been wanting to learn how to make homemade pasta for a long time. Chef Luana shared her traditional method with us. She taught us the importance of fresh and quality ingredients for making the sauces. The class was amazing and Chef was an absolute joy to work with!! Looking forward to future classes!!

Ejede O.

07/25/2021

Chef LuanaвЂ™s class is fantastic. We learned much about pasta making, and she has a very warm, inviting presence. It really felt like being in Italy during her class. We highly recommend.

Karen J.

This was such an amazing experience! The chef is such an amazing and sweet woman. She thoroughly went by each step by step making the class a very fun and enjoyable time. I would definitely recommend this chef over any other! My boyfriend and I are Hoping to book again real soon!

Anakela W.

WOW! What a gem of a woman and gifted, generous and gracious chef. Such a memorable experience she gifted us and made all four of us feel right at home! Chef Luana transported us to Italy by way of our senses and her hospitality - oh, and YUMMM! Food was exquisite. Five stars all around. Thank you, Chef Luana!
