Focaccia Bread Making
What a wonderful way to get into focaccia making. The teacher was easy and charismatic. I even learned a few new tips on how to make a good focaccia at home. Just prepare to stand up for the entire class. The great thing about the class also it didn’t feel overcrowded. Thankfully everyone had enough space as it is a little bit tight the room. -

NYC: Pasta & Dessert Making Party (BYOB)
We had a great time! This was a perfect team-building workshop for our PE team -- interactive, fun, and delicious. Christine was lovely, knowledgeable, and kept us on track: who knew there were so many steps in crafting fettucine from scratch. I had wine delivered, and Christine set up the bottles before we arrived. We then ate our creations together. The space is large and welcoming (and smells of cupcakes and butter cream, yum). Highly recommend for a team building exercise. -
