This cooking class was excellent! My partner and I found our chef Cristina to be very friendly, knowledgeable and down to earth. She was very well organised and accommodating of any needs including taste preferences. The food we prepared was delicious and went down very nicely with a glass or two of wine.

This class was fantastic! I cannot recommend it enough. I went to the class on my own and felt immediately welcomed. Cristina cares so much about her cooking and she taught us the proper Italian way of doing things. Don't think twice, just book it! Honestly you won't regret it.

Wonderful!. The chef was knowledgeable, charming, and fun. It is a hands on class starting with a trip to the local grocery to pick up the vegetables for the risotto. The kitchen was lovely. It was large, well equipped, and easy to see and work. We went with two teenagers and they enjoyed it. Best of all you get to eat your creation.
