Gnocchi & Risotto Cooking Class Testimonial
The class was amazing and the food was ridiculous(ly good)!!!
Chef Dan not only proved that he can multitask, but somehow managed to successfully bring together 14 individuals to create 3 beautiful base dishes - with alternative options for cooking, saucing and seasoning.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a hands on cooking (and eating) experience - it's a real life YouTube how-to, meets The Cooking Professor, that turns into a Restaurant quality dinner, and we absolutely enjoyed every minute!!!
