The couple's cooking class was so fun and informative. We learned how to make pasta and a special sauce from scratch! Chef Juan was also very helpful and really knows how to make our time worthwhile! @classpopevents

My husband and I took Chef Juan’s “Make Fresh Pasta German Style”. The class was so much fun. We learned lots of new techniques that I can’t wait to bring into our home kitchen. We plan to recreate the delicious meal we made during class for our family and friends. I know they’re going to be blown away as much as we were. Both Chef Juan and his Sioux Chef were amazing to work with. Chef Juan is obviously very passionate about connecting people by telling the stories of the world through food. His energy is palpable and so inviting. We are so grateful for the experience.

Fun class! Good food. Learned how a chef holds a knife and got to practice knife skills.
