Cooking Class: Make a Rustic Italian Meal With Chef Sarah
Transport yourself to the Italian countryside with this immersive cooking class.
Under the guidance of Chef Sarah, you'll learn how to make an authentic Italian feast. Begin with a refreshing Caprese salad made with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil drizzled with olive oil. Next, make savory bacon-wrapped dates and crostinis for an unforgettable antipasti. Stuff the dates with blue cheese and finish with a tangy balsamic glaze and a citrus arugula salad. Use fresh bread to make crostini topped with homemade pesto. For the main dish, make a creamy sauce with tomatoes, spinach and artichoke hearts to pair with tender chicken and orzo to make Tuscan chicken. On the side, rich brown-butter broccoli seasoned with garlic and lemon. For dessert, enjoy your choice of chocolate budino or panna cotta topped with seasonal fruit to end the meal on a sweet note.

A cooking class with no cooking. We all paid to literally just “play with dough”. No eggs, no olive oil bc “it’s too expensive rn”. She was late, the venue was freezing, she forgot tools, and we didn’t even get to do all that was listed. At the very beginning when she said we’re not cooking “your dough today” I thought there would be premade dough to cook and eat, nope, we didn’t even do the sauce!! This whole experience was horrible and the entire time I felt like it was a scam. Everyone who attended should be given refunds for how much was paid to do something anyone could do at home

Really not worth the money and wish I could get my money back. We were led to believe that we would be making a nice pasta dish. We used 2 paid for ingredients while we were there: flour and a pinch of salt with water. No eggs and no olive oil and we didn’t even get to make a sauce. We spent the whole time making playdough. I get that dough needs time to rest but there should have been some premade dough that we could then use to practice making the sauce that was described and then taste test. Add all of that onto a location she’s never used before so the space was freezing cold and not set up at all for cooking. Plus she didn’t get there early enough to set up which cut into the time we did have to play with dough. Really disappointed

Very disappointed. I signed up for a class that was supposed to make raviolis with a brown butter sauce and ended up getting an intro to pasta course. Now had i know that's what I was getting i would have been happy because our teacher was very sweet. But we were taught how to make pasta with just flour salt and water. Not even eggs. We didn't cook anything and the room was freezing cold. I would love to have my money back if I'm being honest.
