What a fun and delicious meal share! Melody was such a welcoming host, and the dinner she made was absolutely delicious. I honestly couldn't stop eating the rice even after I was full :) Thanks for everything, Melody!

Nancy and Hailey welcome you into their Chicago apartment with a big smile and warm heart, starting your culinary adventure with an appetizer of cheeses, meats, crackers, and nuts. After getting to know each other, head to the open-plan kitchen to make delicious Chicago-style deep dish pizzas or handmade pasta from scratch (like fettuccine alfredo with a compound milk sauce!). Learn how to make the sauce, combine toppings, and construct your pies. Note that the dough will be pre-prepared since it needs time to rise. Once the pizzas are in the oven (or the pasta dough is resting), Nancy will guide you in creating a fresh salad with homemade dressing and a dessert. The 1.5-hour class ends with enjoying your meal over wine or beer at the dining table. If no preference is stated, Nancy defaults to pasta. You'll also receive printed recipes to recreate your dishes at home.

We had an awesome time! Highly recommend. Ruby made a custom menu to adapt to my family's food allergies. It was delicious and dishes we will add to our family recipes. We felt so at ease and welcome in her home. The conversation never stopped and we learned so much! I am hoping to book with her again. This was a gift to my daughters boyfriend for his birthday. We have decided togrther on gifts of time. This was a hit!

Amar's dinner party was AWESOME!! The dishes were well executed. Amar is definitely a pro! He uses the local and seasonal ingredients and is very creative in terms of using spices. I'm very impressed. I highly recommend going to Amar and Carolin's mealshare if you get a chance!

Tony's place is the place to be. Great food and great company all around. In true fashion, the Soul Food meal event was a family affair with mom, sister, and the wife contributing to the feast. Tony is one of the most personable person you will ever meet whether it be at his place or anywhere else. A must attend!
