What an incredible experience! I went to this class with my partner as a fun date night/Valentines gift. The menu was great, as well as the atmosphere. I enjoyed the gentle guidance along the way, making the experience encouraging towards your cooking abilities, rather than feeling like criticisms. The class was well-structured and it is very apparent that Chef Bonicelli has put thought into the setup, delivery, and of course the food throughout the evening while still adapting to the pace and differences in all folks attending. I also love the fact that there were at least a couple night’s worth of leftover prepared pasta to bring home! Overall, this was a wonderful way to spend an evening — learning more about cooking while making good food in a relaxed and inviting space.

Chef Bonicelli was great! My fiancée and I have never been to a cooking class before, and this exceeded our expectations! She not only taught about technique, but explained the history and the why behind what she does. Could not recommend enough, 10/10!

Five stars is not enough to express the feelings this family has towards our experience with Chef Laura. The family was gushing for hours following our class and we are fully planning on going back for more classes offered by the chef. The conversations were great, the laughs were contagious and the food was fantastic. Thank you for a fantastic evening, Chef! We’re super excited to start practicing our new cooking talents :)

Chef Bonicelli and her husband Mark were so inviting from the moment we walked in. Simultaneously, it felt like we were at a high quality culinary class and also a dinner with friends. It was a refreshing evening. Chef is knowledgeable yet approachable, and made everything super easy to understand. We would definitely take another class (probably the pizza one!!!). Thanks! -Sam and Brynn

Incredible class!! I learned so many useful and practical things! And Chef Bonicelli was incredibly prepared, thoughtful and warm. Highly recommend!

Courtney

I thoroughly enjoyed this class!!! Chef Bonicelli was so warm and welcoming in her home, that I felt relaxed while cooking. Cooking new things can intimidate me; so, being relaxed while making biscuits and pasta proves that Chef Bonicelli is an amazing teacher. After taking this class, I’m planning to invest in a pasta machine so I can make fresh pasta at home.

Mrs. Bonicelli was so kind, helpful, and understanding for a beginner like myself. The class was super fun!! We got to learn how to make some great food from (mostly) scratch, and the Chef was guiding us the whole way. The setup was clean, put together, and very professional while maintaining a cozy, at-home feeling. We would absolutely book again and will be recommending this for our family and friends! Thank you Chef!!

I have been enjoying Chef Bonicelli's recipes and classes for many years. I have fond memories of my family taking a class together! While I am a fairly practiced cook, I always learn something and get inspired! I am so glad that Laura is starting classes again.

I found Chef Laura's pasta-making class a fantastic experience, she showed her deep knowledge of Italian cuisine and definitely has skills for teaching. She demonstrated many pasta-making techniques, and I thought we all learned the skills and felt competent. I loved Laura's stories of Italian culture, her family, and the food industry. Her tips and methods were invaluable, making it seem simple. The best part? The recipes and food were delicious. I left inspired and ready to share my new skills with friends and family.
