    The chef gave excellent tips on how to make pasta dough, how to use the pasta maker, how to shape ravioli, and what to do with leftover dough at home without fancy equipment. Would have loved to have made the filling/sauce as well but I think they were prepared in advance to save time.

    We had a great time learning how to make homemade ricotta ravioli. Chef Una was helpful and so was her assistant Ryan. Our raviolis came out perfect and we had so much fun with our classmates. Only downfall was that the class was within the hotel bar. I think it would be nicer if it were in a private space.

    This ricotta class was so much fun! The recipe was absolutely amazing and I’m so glad they gave us the instructions to recreate at home. The instructors were very attentive and helped us along the way. We really did make the ravioli ourselves! The only reason this didn’t receive 5 stars is because I wish we could’ve made the brown butter sage sauce but I do understand that would require each attendee to have a stove which could be a bit difficult. But again, we received the recipe so I’ll be recreating at home!

    It was very informative, and so helpful when the teacher would come around and hand demonstrate technique at the table. But the beginning of the class felt very disorganized and slow to get started, despite the fact that everyone was asked to be present and ready 15 minutes in advance.

    This course is not on how to make cheese, it’s how to pull cheese, so I found the description misleading (as did many others in the class). The instructors directions did not match the recipe written out that she provided, and finally, the ingredients (tomatoes, basil, cheese curd) were not high quality, which is very frustrating in a good class.

    I was disappointed because I misunderstood the topic. I thought we would be learning how to make mozzarella from fresh milk which is what I was interested in. Instead it was the ways to handle and process already made, supplier-bought mozzarella. The instructor could not have been nicer and it was a good time all the same...though I really did not learn anything new, my bad!

This class was fun and I encourage other sushi lovers to take part.

    The class was very enjoyable and the instructor was a lot of fun. The only thing I would change is that it was held in the restaurant/lobby area of a hotel, which was kind of an odd setup. A more private or separate location would have been more comfortable in my opinion. But there was nothing wrong with the class itself.

    I thought it was simple to follow however the recipe posted for us to take photos of at the end of class was not the recipe we followed in class nor was it the recipe she referenced. We didn’t hand make the ricotta and she gave us the impression she used prepared ricotta plus spices. I found some of the parts of experience anxiety provoking but I left knowing how to make ravioli which was what I set out to accomplish. It would’ve been more fun if I was like everybody else in class who was in a group with other people they knew. I felt like the teacher made a big deal of me not being with another individual and it started the class, from my perspective, sadly because it just reminded me of my loneliness. I would encourage future classes to let people choose their own seats and also to be sensitive to the fact this something people probably do to be involved in the world, and not everybody has access to their gente or phones which connect them to people they are interested in spending time with who they think could or would come with them.
