We learned Italian cooking. We made pasta from scratch, then crepes for desert. It was a lot of fun and delicious food. Chef Bonicelli was very knowledgeable and a great educator.

Chef Pao was wonderful! We had such a fun time and the private atmosphere was great! We learned a lot, enjoyed our time and enjoyed our food! Thanks Chef Pao! Will definitely schedule another class with him in the future!

My husband and I had a great time making a few different sushi rolls with Chef Pao. I honestly had never tried making sushi before, because I had assumed it was too complicated. Chef Pao made the whole process very approachable, and we were really pleased with the outcomes of our first ever sushi attempts. The whole class was very organized, the kitchen was super clean, and Chef Pao had a calm and encouraging personality that made the experience fun instead of stressful. Highly recommend!

Chef Pao was super fun and engaging to learn from. He made each step of the process interesting and explained many of the reasons for the ingredient choices and why they are important. I would 100% take more classes from Chef Pao.
