“I had booked this activity as a birthday present for my husband and it was very enjoyable. Laura was chilled and conversational which made it a nice experience. Laura gave good instructions when making the pasta and always on hands if we needed help. Making the pasta was quite straightforward with her instructions and making the mix for the tortellini was great. Making the tiramisu was great fun and so easy to make. The end when we got to eat everything was wonderful. It was all delicious and everything was consumed!!”
