  • 5/5 from Xander Schneider, attended Jan 2026: My grandson attended the Young Chefs pasta dinner hands-on class and he was delighted. He told me about everything they made, how to make it and how much he learned. He expressed real gratitude that I enrolled him and thanked me! Kids don't always do that!
