Recent reviews of Artisan Pasta Making Class

  • 5/5 from Jon Bindi, attended Sep 2026: We had the best time with James! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and were greeted with a wonderful charcuterie board. Then we jumped into making pasta, and James was incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and a great teacher. He had the perfect balance of demonstrating each step while still letting us do everything ourselves, and he explained the process in a way that was simple and easy to follow. The experience went far beyond just making pasta. We also enjoyed a delicious salad and an amazing dessert, and you could really tell how passionate James is about food and sharing that passion with others. Best of all, the pasta tasted incredible! James was also so much fun to talk to and made the entire experience relaxed, personal, and memorable. We had such a great time and would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Sandra Prades, attended Aug 2025: Great class! We learned how go make the pasta and the sauce while enjoying some nice music and a charcuterie board. Jamie is attentive and very knowledgable. Will repeat for sure
  • 4/5 from Maia Hollins-Kirk, attended May 2025: Class was great fun and a good gift to give someone! I would've loved some more hands-on and action time making the pasta and cooking, but still a wonderful time.
  • 5/5 from Alistair Blacklock, attended Apr 2025: I organized a pasta making class for my husband’s birthday and invited his family. Everyone had a blast learning about making homemade pasta—James did a fantastic job with including everyone and making the experience fun and interactive. And James’s home was lovely. Thank you James for a memorable experience, we will be making pappardelle a casa! And we are already planning our next visit, for the paella making class
  • 5/5 from Mariia Pliusnova, attended Feb 2025: I got a class as a gift for my dad’s birthday and it was incredible. Cannot recommend enough!
  • 5/5 from Sara Choi, attended Sep 2024: Fabulous class with James! We commented that it felt like we entered another country and atmosphere. He left us plenty of time to gab on our own and showed us how to make pasta, too. Fantastic!
  • 5/5 from Mario Paoletti, attended Jul 2023: We did a pasta making class with James and had an incredible time. His house is as warm and friendly as he is and hime has deep and diversified culinary knowledge. We had an incredible time, will absolutely be going back, and would recommend Cook with James to everyone!
  • 5/5 from Madison Rodrigues, attended Jun 2023: James was great! Took this class as a group of 4 and he made us all very comfortable and welcomed us into his beautiful home! All 4 of us were able to participate in the pasta making process while James cooked the sauce for us. He even provided us appetizers! Such a fun birthday activity, we would 100% do this again!
  • 5/5 from Brent, attended Apr 2023: James provided a great atmosphere for the event. Everyone participated in the pasta making and the sauce and salad provided by James really rounded out the meal. I would like to try some of his other classes.
  • 5/5 from Mike Griffis, attended Apr 2023: Chef James and his private home were both very relaxing and welcoming. His pasta Making Class was informative and all if us got chances to participate in the preparation. We had a total of 6 people in the class from varied backgrounds and they were all interesting to meet and share dinner with. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we didn't want to leave. Thank you Chef James for a great experience.
  • 5/5 from Priya Ryali, attended Dec 2022: Amazing class! We loved the whole experience in making fresh pasta will be coming back!

Cook With James

5.0 (132)

James grew up on a 50 acre horse farm near the Salinas Valley. His great grandfather emigrated from Yugoslavia into the Central Valley and started an apple farm. His grandfather later moved to the very fertile Salinas Valley and started one of the first produce companies. It was called Sun Harvest. My mother raised us mostly on local fruits and vegetables though there was still the occasional cooking “out of a can” given the generation. Canned beets! The one thing we always had was a bowl of fresh fruit, cut up and put into a bowl for us before we went to bed.
James earned a masters in Spanish literature and linguistics through Middlebury College and lived in Spain for two years. He later entered into the technology business and worked at various advertising agencies in San Francisco over a 12 year period. Along the way he started cooking as "therapy" for his corporate day job. CookWithJames was created 15 years ago as an underground supper club. James would prepare multiple course regional Italian and Spanish dinners in his home for guests and friends. James staged at Quince restaurant after they opened in 2004, and has also lived and cooked in both Italy and Spain. After leaving his day job in advertising in 2009 James launched CookWithJames as a full-time business, offering private sit-down dinners as well as cooking class parties for all occasions.
