My hubby and I had SUCH a great time! Phillipe was fun, engaging, and clearly an expert at his craft. Would recommend this class to anyone!

I learned how easy it is to make pasta from home. It is a little time consuming but definitely easy! The pasta was delicious. It was a bigger group than I imagined but everyone got a turn in making the pasta for a step or two.

Hands down, best event I've hosted in my office space to date. To start, booking the event itself was super easy with the help of Jemal. He worked closely with me to find a class that my members would like, that was within my budget, and could be done in my space. He was in constant communication with me throughout the process.
The class itself (a pasta making class) exceeded expectations. Chef Phillipe was not only incredibly talented and knowledgable, but super engaging and patient with my members. It also didn't hurt that he was funny and made the class a blast. 10/10 will book again. I would highly recommend a class like this for a small to medium sized group. And bring wine.

Phil was very personable and helpful. He inspired us to buy a pasta machine which we've used often since the event!

We had the best time! It was an amazing overview of how to make pasta at a great location with a super fun group of Dabblers. Phil did a fantastic job of breaking down the science of pasta while making the process feel super approachable. 12/10 would pasta again.

Super fun and hands on class- even with a large number of people, Philippe makes sure that you are able to try your hand at any part of the process that you would like. I feel confident I could make my own pasta if I got my hands on a pasta press.
Also learned a lot about just making regular pasta at home and how to make that better!

We had an amazing time in this class. I left feeling confident to make pasta at home as well as enjoyed the unique dishes we created (two types of fettuccine and a ravioli). Our teacher was professional, helpful, and funny. I could not recommend this class enough!

Me, my mom, and sister took this class as part of my mom’s Christmas gift and it was great! We learned how to make three different pastas and sauces. All super easy. I can’t wait to try them on my own. It wasn’t intimidating. And my mom had a lot of fun! I only wish we wouldn’t have eaten so much before the class. We were stuffed!

Phil is a great host and chef! We ate three (!) delicious homemade pastas and he entertained us the entire time. His "secret" ingredients are pretty fun and delicious, and really turn a simple dish into something special. Would definitely recommend taking his class(es)!

We had a class with Chef Phillipe Sobon on Pasta Making. He came to our home with two pasta machines and all the food necessary to create three different pastas and sauces for the 6 of us!! We learned SO MUCH; he was SO much fun!! He was an EXCELLENT teacher, and his students ranged in age from 4 to 70 years of age :-). His ability to balance demonstration and hands-on was on target.The food was delicious, we added our wine, and had a blast. Highly recommend!

What a fun class! Phillipe was a great, patient teacher and gave a lot of great tips. We got to eat three different pastas, with the last being a chocolate stuffed ravioli for dessert! All tasty and fairly easy.

Chef Phillipe's Pasta 101 class was so much fun! I'm not much of a cook but I can honestly say that I am able to make fresh pasta on my own now! I loved how he invited us all to participate, the hands-on experience really helped me because I'm more of a kinesthetic learner. It was also great how he incorporated ingredients that we can find in our pantry. Loved his personality and his demonstration was easy to follow. My friends and I thought it was a really amazing class. Definitely recommend and I hope to go to the 102 class soon! Thanks Chef!!

Looking for a fun date night? This is it. Phillipe was an awesome teacher. He's both instructive and down-to-earth. The class itself had just the right amount of hands-on and the right amount of demonstration. This event is also BYOB which makes the whole thing 10x better. PLUS the chili chocolate-ricotta ravioli we had is some of the best pasta I've ever had in my life.

Great class; great fun. In my experience the best classes are those taught by self-taught instructors. Phil is great at it, pulling you in because you know he’s been there with the same sense of adventure and desire to learn that got you into the class. Fantastic experience!

The Pasta 101 class was a lot of fun! I brought my Mom and she loved learning how to make it and was surprised by how easy it was! We would take another class like this one.

Fun class! Phillipe’s class is laid back, interactive and a great time. His approach to cooking is don’t take it too seriously, after all it should be fun! Definitely recommend this class if you’re looking for a fun night. Bring wine - I didn’t know it was byob!!!

Such a great class! Chef Phillipe is awesome! Very knowledgeable and his passion shows through in his teaching style. The pasta is AMAZING! Cannot wait for my Marcato pasta machine to arrive to try out what I learned! Then onto the next level pasta course! Thanks again, Chef!

It was fun and the teacher was engaging. The class was a demonstration style, though, and not hands-on which was unclear in the Dabble description. I do wish it was hands-on, but still had a good time regardless.

I attended with my girlfriend and we both had a great experience. The instructor was knowledgeable and there was a good ratio of laid back demonstration and hands-on opportunities for everyone. Also, the food was very good. I highly recommend attending!

I am a big fan of Philipe and notice his strong presence in the Chicago food scene. He has an impressive resume and social media following. When I saw that he taught classes, I immediately jumped at the opportunity and invited 8 of my girlfriends to come. Pasta 101 was a fun, engaging class that left us excited and enthusiastic to apply our newly learned pasta making skills at home. We wish we couldve eaten the samples endlessly as the food was unique and delicious! Philippe's approach to cooking is passionate, thoughtful and easy to follow and apply. I highly recommend this course and Chef P for all types of cuisines and crowds. Will be back with him again!!

Chef Phillipe was amazing during the class. I took my employees for Christmas party and we all had a such great time. The presentation was perfect, food delicious, and Chef was entertaining. And since then I can't cook dry pasta anymore.
I will definitely recommend for a group parties.

The Pasta 101 class was in a kitchen/classroom at the Whole Foods on Kingsbury. It was a nice environment and allowed wine-- we were also provided with paper and pens for notes. Phillipe taught us how to make three pasta dishes using everyday ingredients: one fettuccine pasta with tomatoes and lemon, another fettuccine pasta with pesto, and another ravioli pasta with chocolate and ricotta. The dishes was delicious, but I came in with the expectation that it would be a lot more hands on and that we'd be eating a lot more pasta. Phillipe allowed us to come up and roll out the dough as well as cut the dough, but that was about it. The portions we were served were also very small (tasting portions). I would've preferred more hands on experience, larger portions, and would recommend that they get a projector screen or reflecting mirror so that guests can see what's happening from our seats. It was very hard so see Phillipe and his assistant cooking unless we stood around the stove or he held something up. Other than those things, the class was a nice time-- fun environment overall.

I had a great experience at Pasta 101 with Phillipe. The class covered the basics of making traditional pasta as well as variations incorporating spinach, squid ink and beet root. He also demonstrated a simple but delicious tomato sauce as well as a surprising twist on classical pesto sauce. My favorite part was learning how to make ricotta. Had no idea it was so easy! I definitely recommend this class for anyone looking for a fun introduction to pasta making.

This class was great! Such a good way to get the basics to making pasta. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to make pasta but too scared to figure it out on their own.

We booked this class for our staff holiday party, and it could not have been a bigger success. Something that can be difficult to achieve with a wide range of people.
The class was the perfect mix of demonstration and hands-on. Chef Phillipe is knowledgeable, approachable and entertaining. He expertly fielded all the questions we threw at him, and most importantly the food was AMAZING!!! I think everyone in the office has added a pasta roller to their holiday wish lists!
We will definitely be contacting him for our next staff gathering to teach us more!

I loved this classs. Can’t say enough about the instructor, Phillip Sobon and his assistant at Whole Foods. We made 2 different kinds of pasta, some French style gnocchi and fresh ricotta. The food was delicious. The teaching and hands on experience was priceless. I was able to roll out dough w/ the pasta machine w/ a little help and get a feel for the process, ask questions. I would take this class again. I learned so much. Phillip was great. Food teacher, personable, funny and down-to-earth. Look forward to more classes from Phillip.

Chef Phillipe did an awesome job getting all of the students engaged and excited about making pasta. He has a captvating personality and the jokes he weaves theoughout hos presentation are hilarious. Even though this is a demonstration course, it sure didn't feel like one. Anyone could volunteer to come up and help roll out and cut pasta, which makes a huge difference when you're home later trying to DIY. This is my first time taking a class with Dabble and it was a great one, excited to take more classes with Chef Phillipe and keep Dabbling!

This class was awesome! Learned the basics of making pasta, and have since bought my own pasta roller/cutter and can't wait to make these lessons come to life in my kitchen. Phillipe was a great teacher, answered all of our questions, and even taught us how to make ricotta from scratch. Looking forward to his advanced pasta lessons!

This was a great class! He made pasta making from scratch seem like something anyone can do. There are opportunities to participate and try everything. The teacher is also really cool about answering questions while he is teaching about cooking & his experiences on cooking shows/competitions.

This class was great! We learned how to make gnocchi, spaghetti and fettuccine (in different flavors) along with different sauces and how you can really use many different things in your own pantry to substitute for the item you would ideally want....and it tastes great. We even learned how to make cheese! And since it's at Whole Foods, you can always buy a glass of wine or beer downstairs and bring it to class with you to sip on.

There were some issues with communication and the class time was changed less than 24 hours before however once that was worked out the class was great and we learned a lot.
