• 5/5 from Bakima Ssebanakitta, attended Apr 2026: Wonderful teaching with the right combination of hands on and observation for a large group. Instructor was upbeat, engaging, offered practical adaptations for an home kitchen, and educated us on how to expand the skills we were learning. I went by myself and felt just as engaged and part of the group as if I had went with someone.
• 5/5 from Nicole Wright, attended Apr 2026: I liked that the class worked on the same things together. Instructions were clear and the video demonstration made it easy to see. Loved it! Can’t wait to do another!
• 5/5 from Tim, attended Apr 2026: Red, White, and Green sauces with homemade gnocchi. Class was great, teacher was excellent. Took time to make sure everyone was ready before moving to the next step. Staff were organized and worked like ninjas to clean and prep for the next steps. The zucchini pesto was the best thing today!
• 5/5 from Merilee Corbit, attended Jan 2026: Jamie is an excellent instructor. My husband and I learned a lot during the class and we also got to enjoy our delicious gnocchi!
• 5/5 from Taylor McCaslin, attended Jan 2026: took my friend to the gnocchi making class for christmas - jamie was a fun and knowledgeable teacher, and the class was so informative (and so delicious)! absolutely worth it, and i’ll definitely be gifting these classes again in the future. such a fun night!!
• 5/5 from Kim Schafer, attended Dec 2025: My husband and I, along with two of his siblings and brother-in-law signed up for this class in memory of their mother who was Italian and made gnocchi for them growing up. We had a blast, coming home with all kinds of great tips about making sauces and the gnocchi. Chef Jamie was great! The added bonus of each of us taking home a gnocchi board was super special as we will be making our extra dough for dinner tomorrow with our three littlest granddaughters (5 and twin 4 yr olds). Keeping on making those cherished memories from generation to generation. We would only recommend more tutorial for the group as a whole while making the dough (especially being able to watch the chef via the tv screen) as it was challenging to remember what we saw and heard. Thanks for a super fun experience!!
• 5/5 from Sable Edwards, attended Dec 2025: Came with my best friend to celebrate her birthday. We had so much fun! We learned so much. I’m excited to be able to share this with my family at home. My 5 year old will love making the Gnocchi and helping with the sauces. All the food was a hit. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Valerie Anderson, attended Dec 2025: I have attempted to make gnocchi at home before but it just never seemed to quite work out. With Jamie’s instruction, I think I can pinpoint the differences and I feel more confident that with a little more practice I can create these tasty little pillows of fluff and make them “just right”. The atmosphere was comfortable and Jamie did an amazing job leading the class and keeping the group entertained. The zucchini pesto sauce was amazing and the Alfredo was absolutely delicious. I only wish that I had paired it with a tasty Merlot. ~Valerie

• 5/5 from Monica Marshall, attended Mar 2024: First time taking a class. Really enjoyed it! Getting to keep the gnocchi board was an unexpected bonus. I would be interested in dumpling/shumai class. Thank you
• 5/5 from Rich Lightfoot, attended Mar 2024: My husband and I received a gift certificate from our daughter and son-in-law for Christmas and decided on the Gnocchi class. We wanted a hands on vs. a demonstration class. Unfortunately, my husband was sick the day of the class so my daughter filled in. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and learned how to properly make a proper pillow light “Nona” gnocchi. Jen did a wonderful job explaining each step and was easy to follow the process. Both my daughter and I are practiced cooks and we learned some great tips. Thank you Jen and your crew for an outstanding “Sunday Funday.” Sue Lightfoot & Ashley Hamad

It was fun and at the end we were treated with a fabulous gnocchi dinner! Yum

• 5/5 from Donna Burn, attended Oct 2023: Jamie was very personable and informative. The gnocci and sauces were delicious. The salad and dessert were nice surprises.
• 5/5 from Andrea Reid, attended Oct 2023: This was our first class at the Kitchen Engine, and we really enjoyed it. Well run, even though they were short staffed.
• 5/5 from Julie Koontz, attended Oct 2023: Jamie is an awesome instructor! I appreciated her tips (how to fix sauce if too salty…etc) & knowing why she prefers baking potatoes over boiling & why adding creme cheese to the Alfredo sauce works so well. (I could go on) Loved the little salad & chance to try a different combination of oil & vinegar. And I feel confident in being able to make gnocchi. Sauce options were delicious & the ‘No recipe needed’ for the dessert at the end gave me a great hint for my next dessert after a more labor intensive dinner. I’ve taken a number of classes at TKE & all have been great. Will be taking more & would love it if a macaron class was offered. I tried making them once- so I know they are labor intensive, but I wasn’t happy with the end result. :(Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
• 5/5 from Sheri Staudinger, attended Oct 2023: Love the teacher and her assistants. They were so approachable and felt like I was at home. I was so intimidated to try gnocchi on my own so the class gave me the confidence I needed to do this on my own.
• 5/5 from Callie Beach, attended Oct 2023: Absolutely everything about that class was exceptional. I came away, feeling confident and excited! So fortunate to have such an amazing place, such as the kitchen engine
