• 4/5 from Drew Quesnell, attended Jun 2026: I attended the pasta making class because my wife bought me a gift certificate for cooking classes, and I didn't know how to make pasta from scratch. Jake was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and friendly. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively. I definitely enjoyed the banter during the class the most. The pasta turned out great, and I had enough left to take home and make dinner the next day. Rave reviews throughout the house, so I'll be investing in a kitchenaid attachment soon.
• 5/5 from Cherie Myers, attended May 2026: Fun class! Jake did a great job! I really enjoyed learning how to make homemade fettuccine. Jake also shared two delicious sauce recipes with us.

• 5/5 from Amanda Clark, attended May 2026: The class was wonderful but it was stated at 11-12:45 and we *rushed* out by 1:30 to get to where we were going next. This should easily be a 2 to 2.5 hour class.

• 5/5 from Lauri Williams, attended Mar 2025: Jacob was excellent. His lessons in teaching the class from beginning to end were well thought out, organized and easy to understand and implement. The sauces smelled amazing and enticing as we learned to make the pasta. Although we had to share space and a mixer, my partner in the class was great and the rest of the class was also. I have no hearing in one ear and Jacob spoke loud enough to easily understand which was also wonderful. The materials were great and I'm excited we got to bring both pasta and the recipes home. My meal was delectable and having so many extra helpers in the class to assist was a bonus.

Keep throwing classes at him; he will do fine as he gets more experience. I would take another class from him, AND/OR order and eat a meal prepared by him.
