Feedback
I cannot say enough about Erika and the cooking class she put on for our party of 11. She was so fun to work with, very knowledgable and easy to learn from, and taught us how to make wonderful, authentic Italian food! She was easy to communicate and schedule with and was even accommodating about changing our date last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. You will not regret this experience!
