I recently had the pleasure of attending my first cooking class, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Held under the expert guidance of Chef Luana, this class transformed my understanding of home cooking, making me feel both welcome and part of a family.
From the moment I walked into the kitchen, Chef Luana’s warmth and hospitality were evident. She created an inviting atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. It felt less like a formal class and more like cooking with friends and family in a cozy home setting.
The highlight of the class was learning to make fresh pasta and sauce from scratch. Chef Luana's expertise shone through as she patiently guided us through each step, sharing tips and techniques that are invaluable for any home cook. We made two different types of pasta: Alfredo and spaghetti, each paired with its own delicious sauce.
The Alfredo pasta was a creamy delight, rich and velvety, yet perfectly balanced. The sauce clung to the pasta, creating a mouthwatering combination that was nothing short of perfection. The spaghetti, on the other hand, was a testament to the beauty of simplicity. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked to al dente perfection, it was paired with a robust tomato sauce that highlighted the quality of the ingredients and the skill involved in its preparation.
The food was not just delicious; it was a testament to the power of fresh ingredients and homemade techniques. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was appealing, making the entire meal a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Beyond the incredible food, what truly stood out was the sense of community and camaraderie that Chef Luana fostered. Her passion for cooking and teaching was infectious, making the experience both educational and incredibly enjoyable.
Overall, this cooking class with Chef Luana was a perfect introduction to the world of culinary arts. I left with not only new skills and recipes but also cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to enhance their cooking abilities or simply enjoy a fantastic...

Read moreI just completed Chef Luana’s hands-on gnocchi making class with a small group of 4 of us and it exceeded all my expectations. Chef Luana was excited, had a lot of energy and created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere to cook in.
What made this class truly special was Chef Luana’s personal touch. She shared beautiful stories from her childhood in Italy and walked us through her grandmother’s traditional gnocchi recipe that has been passed down through generations. You could feel the love behind every technique she taught us. It wasn’t just a cooking class – it was a cultural experience that transported us straight to an Italian kitchen.
Chef Luana’s teaching style is incredibly patient and encouraging while being fast paced and on time. She guided our group step-by-step through each process, from selecting the right potatoes and prepping them right to achieving that perfect gnocchi texture. No question was too small, and she made sure everyone was ready to go and understood it before moving to the next step. Her expertise really showed, but she never made anyone feel intimidated.
The hands-on approach was fantastic. We all got plenty of practice rolling, cutting, and shaping the gnocchi, and Chef Luana was right there to offer gentle corrections and helpful tips. I’m excited to recreate this dish at home.
I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Italian cooking or wanting to learn a new skill in a supportive, authentic environment. Chef Luana is a treasure, and her passion for sharing her culinary heritage makes this experience...
