RECENT COMMENTS FROM PARTICIPANTS:
Pasta...Pasta... Class September 19, 2009
Saturday I had the opportunity to take the Pasta.... Pasta class at your academy. It is not enough to say it was the best cooking class I've taken.
Chef Pablo Guerrero not only taught us some of the history of pasta, but also made the class fun with personal experiences. Whenever a question was asked he answered it completely. he cooked, we watched, learned and ate! The food was incredible; I can still taste and smell the wonderful ingredients used to create the dishes. I also discovered it's all in the sauce. I learned how to make an incredible Marinara and Pesto sauce to die for, without spending all day at the stove.
I've already priced pasta atttachments for my Kitchen Aid and I'll soon be making my own fresh pasta. I could not be more satisfied with the class and recommend your academy to anyone interested in knowing not only the basics, but the tricks of the trade. I know every attendee will be fully pleased with the classes offered by the Culinary Academy of Austin.
Sincerely, Linda LeCates
