  • 5/5 from Gail Cervantes, attended Mar 2026: Chef Bonnie was amazing. She had so many tips and recipes. I hope I can remember them. The class was a lot of fun and I liked how Chef Bonnie encouraged us to make the recipes our own. The gnocchi was delicious.
  • 5/5 from Sadie McKinney, attended Nov 2025: We had a good time. There was 9 of us. We learned a lot. Would definitely do it again.
