We made tiramisu first, then 2 types of pasta, and after the staff cooked the pasta and added sauce, we got to eat them. It was a lot of food and tasty! There were about 15-20 of us in the class, and I've only taken smaller cooking classes before, so this was a little tougher to ask questions or get details, but the hosts did a good job of explaining things and were very welcoming.”
