WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Minneapolis
This was a blast! We had so much fun learning and laughing with Chef Aaron - I had never made pasta and it actually turned out! He gave us lots of tips and tricks and the recipes he shared with us were so good. He shared stories of making pasta with his grandmother and I can’t wait to share what I learned with my granddaughter! We would definitely take a class with him again.
We had the most fantastic time at the pasta quartet. The pasta varieties were perfect. This experience exceeded our expectations! Chef Aaron was knowledgable, fun, engaging, and the food was outstanding. The other people in our class were really fun too, which was an unexpected surprise. I’ve already recommended this to several people. We had a blast!
Made French omelettes, crème brûlée and olive tapenade. Outstanding class, chef Aaron was entertaining and a wonderful teacher. Highly recommend!
We cooked gnocchi with pesto and tomato sauces, asparagus and crème brûlée! I learned how to make gnocchi with baked potatoes and a great pesto sauce. Chef Bonicelli and Mark were great and it was a very fun experience
