WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Minneapolis
02/02/2025
I highly recommend Chef Pao and his classes! His teaching made sushi-making easy and fun, and he shared his favorite local spots for purchasing sushi-grade fish and supplies. My husband and I had a great time, and we left feeling confident that we could indeed make ourselves sushi at home -- and the food was delicious! Pao's home was warm and inviting, as was the chef himself. We're definitely planning to take Pao's other sushi course later this year! Excellent experience overall.
01/31/2025
Chef Pao was excellent, professional and entertaining. We had such a great time learning about the history of sushi and tips and tricks on how to make sushi at home.
01/29/2025
Chef Pao was amazing. He was thorough, patient, and gave a great class while intertwining fun. We left confident (and full) in our abilities to try making sushi on our own.
01/25/2025
Chef Bonicelli was great! My fiancée and I have never been to a cooking class before, and this exceeded our expectations! She not only taught about technique, but explained the history and the why behind what she does. Could not recommend enough, 10/10!
