Amazing upscale cooking experience! We enjoyed a 4 course meal and took home enough butternut squash and fettuccine for several meals…all made in her class! It’s an enjoyable evening you will never forget! Can’t say enough good things about Chef Bonicelli…she is knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and a great teacher.
