    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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!

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 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.

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.
