Georgian Cooking Class
Really loved this class. Dona was extremely warm, friendly, enthusiastic, and hands-on. Even though her raw ingredient deliveries were delayed, she was extremely gracious and somehow managed all the food prep so quickly and smoothly that we prepared, cooked, and ate food in a very timely manner. I love that she gave background on a lot of the ingredients, including how the khachapuri is not actually supposed to be shaped like a "boat" as everyone always assumes, but is actually supposed to represent the sun! She also made sure that everyone participated in the food prep and cooking, and was very inclusive. Her explanations on techniques, methods, and Georgian-specific cultural facts were all very clear. The cooking and dining space were also just so cozy, warm, and inviting -- a little gem of a space in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the West Village! I really loved the way the dining room is set up and appointed. A very special touch that I was not expecting was that while we ate, she whipped two different types of Georgian wine, one sweet and one dry, for all of us to try. I've only had the pleasure of drinking Georgian wines a handful of times, so this was a very welcome treat! I'd highly recommend this class to anyone interested in understanding more about Georgian cooking. This class certainly demystified the cuisine for me and helped me realize how approachable it is (and how easy it can be, assuming you have experience cooking) as long as we come in with an open, positive mindset. -
Handmade Dumplings
This class was excellent! Our instructor, Chef Alvaro, was so kind, funny, and very clear with directions. He gave helpful prep and knife-handling tips, and made sure everyone kept pace without feeling stressed. The dumplings also turned out SO delicious. Overall, it was such a fun experience. My husband and I both agreed we'd take a cooking class with him again in a heartbeat. -
