Cooking Classes by Classpop!, Boston

Good directions, fun environment

It was a fun date night bc we can make anything fun...but it was disappointing that we didn't get to learn how to make the sauce. We were told it would be a "quick experience" and that bc of food allergies they couldn't teach us how to make sauce (but used a jar of Prego?!)...for $100 I don't know if it was worth it but I guess I know how to make gnocchi now. I prob wouldn't buy it again.

Fantastic experience!! Chef Mari was a blast!

When we first pulled up, I honestly thought it was an abandoned building. The outside definitely doesn’t give much away, but seeing cars in the lot and people heading inside convinced us to give it a try—and I’m glad we did. Once inside, it had your typical bar/restaurant atmosphere. The vibe was casual and laid-back, and it felt much more welcoming than the exterior suggests. The cooking class was really fun and enjoyable. Chef Jennifer was incredibly sweet, sociable, and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even better. The class was on the shorter side—about an hour—which worked well since the group was small (just our party and one other). She also did an amazing job guiding us step-by-step, making everything easy to follow and not overwhelming. We made a California roll and a shrimp hand roll, and both turned out really good! She did a great job seasoning the ingredients, which really brought everything together. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely go back and try her more advanced sushi classes. I’d recommend starting with the beginner course—it gives you a great foundation and a little inside scoop on how to move up to the next level 🙂
