Booked the class The Best of Italian Favorites with Chef Kenneth in Manhattan (Upper East Side)

Chef Ken was great-had a relaxed easygoing but professional manner. He came with everything he needed short of a blender which we provided for and assorted pots/pans. We learned a lot-and were put to work in a fun voluntary manner..our groups got their hands dirty from time to time but Ken also cooked/kept things moving forward as we were also catching up while watching/learning. I was impressed by the time saving use of the blender and various shortcuts learned to save time/effort that provided delicious results! Chef Ken taught us how easy some of these dishes were to make-incredible arancini in a marinara sauce, a fantastic Caesar salad w homemade dressing, homemade gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce, and delicious homemade cannoli w chocolate chip ricotta filling! He did a great job of passing tips and tricks along the way.. Our group learned a lot and agreed we would like to recreate some of these dishes at home again. I would recommend working w Chef Ken for your next cooking lesson/dinner party!

Chef Kenny was fantastic! We cooked an Italian meal w/ salad, arrancini, gnocci and cannoli all from scratch. Kenny was really knowledgeable, and explained a lot of little cooking tips and tricks along the way. The food was delicious, and I feel like I came out of the class a better cook.

We loved our private Italian cooking class with Madi! She walked us through all the steps of the recipes seamlessly and taught us new techniques that only a professional chef would know. All of the dishes were delicious and we loved that she included some of her seasonings that she makes personally herself. She was very professional and prepared - bringing all the ingredients and equipment with her and cleaning everything up afterwards as well! It was a pleasure learning from her and we hope to do another cooking class with her soon!
