Jon was amazing!! Our class was with the spaghetti squash ravioli and brown butter sage sauce and the tagliatelle with pesto. We had the best time! Jon was funny and very knowledgeable. He had so many recommendations for eateries around the area as well. He teaches well for anyone to learn! We would definitely take this class again.
A great course and afternoon!

Liza and Thomas went above and beyond in the cooking class we joined. After learning about our dietary restrictions, they made sure we felt comfortable and made sure everything was perfect for us. Despite these restrictions, they made us feel welcome and included. We learned so much in the few hours we spent together and we truly appreciate them so much for this. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to make pasta, gelato, and having a great time.
