Make a Rustic Italian Meal With Chef Sarah

crostini with fresh pesto | Classpop Shot

Transport yourself to the Italian countryside with this immersive cooking class.

Under the guidance of Chef Sarah, you'll learn how to make an authentic Italian feast. Begin with a refreshing Caprese salad made with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil drizzled with olive oil. Next, make savory bacon-wrapped dates and crostinis for an unforgettable antipasti. Stuff the dates with blue cheese and finish with a tangy balsamic glaze and a citrus arugula salad. Use fresh bread to make crostini topped with homemade pesto. For the main dish, make a creamy sauce with tomatoes, spinach and artichoke hearts to pair with tender chicken and orzo to make Tuscan chicken. On the side, rich brown-butter broccoli seasoned with garlic and lemon. For dessert, enjoy your choice of chocolate budino or panna cotta topped with seasonal fruit to end the meal on a sweet note.

Very disappointed. I signed up for a class that was supposed to make raviolis with a brown butter sauce and ended up getting an intro to pasta course. Now had i know that's what I was getting i would have been happy because our teacher was very sweet. But we were taught how to make pasta with just flour salt and water. Not even eggs. We didn't cook anything and the room was freezing cold. I would love to have my money back if I'm being honest.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Very unprepared, the venue was not suitable for the class and was not expecting us. We did not learn everything the listing said we would and we were told to take the pasta home to cook it when the posting said we’d eat it at the end of the class. I also felt like the chef spent a lot of time with some groups and no time with others.

Seems like it was her first time teaching this class so it was not that well prepared. People got to take their own filling so some people could take as much tuna as they want and there was not enough for the last few people. At the end I didn't get to try any fish at all in my sushi, I only had cucumber avocado and cream cheese in my sushi. I think it would be better if she portioned the material for everyone. The class was nothing like I expected and I was not doing any better in making sushi than I was before I joined the class. I think it was quite a waste of time and money, good thing I got the class with discounted price but I wish I had selected another class.

Sarah, it was very nice and professional. She gave us so much advice not just for Thai food but in cooking generally that we learned so much. Teaching us different flavors, profiles and other ways to elevate food. Thank you so much Sarah for taking the time. Would definitely recommend her.
