They came home each day excited to share not only what they made but also the new skills they learned and the friends they made along the way. What really stood out to me was how she meets kids right where they are. It's hands-on, joyful, and full of purpose. Both of my children felt empowered and proud of what they created, and I loved seeing their confidence grow with each class. Ms. Sandra brings so much heart and intention to everything she does. You can tell she genuinely cares about creating a warm, inclusive space where every child feels successful. This isn't just a cooking class--it's a memory-maker, a confidence-builder, and a truly enriching program that I'd recommend to any family.

The class was for two hours and one ticket via Eventbrite was $65.86. All ingredients and cooking tools are provided. From the start to the end, I loved the whole experience. We made our own gyoza wrapper from scratch, chopped all the vegetables and made our own pork gyoza dumpling. Chef Darren was very helpful and patient. He gave us great tips throughout the class. The step by step guidance was awesome. At the end, we were all laughing and having the times of our lives. Best of all, we got to enjoy the delicious freshly made gyoza! I will definitely be taking the tips I learned from this class to my own kitchen! I definitely would want to do another class with Classpop! This an experience that I would highly recommend to anyone. It's a fun activity and you learn a lot.

Not only is it delicious but it is also beautifully plated, focusing more on whole foods and seasoning than processed foods that look like a meat protein.

If you ever see Todo Verde pop up any where, please give them a try.

I love Sundays because It's my day to venture out and try new places. Living in the LA area is a…read morehuge advantage when you are plant based because we have so many options available to us now. In my search of "Vegan" options near the DTLA area, Todo Verde popped up. I quickly opened up my Instagram to verify this place, as we all do in this day and age. The pictures looked amazing. Buuuuut we all know pictures can be deceiving, especially on these social media platforms. Nevertheless, I decided to head over and check it out for myself. My girlfriend is not plant based but I will say the pictures on Instagram and even those on yelp swayed her in the direction of keeping an open mind and trying it out. I was pleasantly surprised that the address led us to The Smorgasborg in DTLA. I have been wanting to come to this place for years and for some reason or another I opt out of going. Today it was fate, I would be able to treat myself not only to tacos but to a nice dessert as well. First on my list would still be Todo Verde. Another win for me was when i walked up to the booth and seen a 40% off discount simply for using Apple Pay! SCORE! (Unfortunately this is not every weekend). We ordered the Taco Trio plate which offered one Pipian Rojo, one Pipian Verde and one Mole taco. We added one of the Mushrooms tacos to make the sampler complete. Ceviche is my girlfriends weakness so the Palmitas Ceviche was an non negotiable. All the tacos were good but the Pipian Verde was definitely the favorite for us. Ceviche was fresh and zesty just like i like. My girlfriend was impressed and is slowly transitioning to join me on my plant based lifestyle.

She told me she learned what it's like to run a kitchen from A to Z, which was both fun and educational. When I picked her up, she was all smiles and couldn't wait to tell me about everything she had learned. The staff was professional, friendly, and did an incredible job working with the kids. It was clear they created a positive, engaging, and supportive environment. We're so excited for her next class and look forward to seeing her continue to learn and grow at Little Kitchen Academy!

She's an amazing home cook and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. I never felt rushed or confused, and she made the whole class fun and easy to follow. Her recipes were the highlight. They were super flavorful and surprisingly simple to make once she broke everything down. I've made a couple of the dishes at home since the class, and they turned out great, which never happens for me normally. If you're thinking about taking one of her classes, do it. She's talented, patient, and you walk away feeling like you actually learned something useful. Highly recommend.

Our wedding food catering search was very short lived…read more We had our first wedding food tasting with Think Italian Events! and that was the first and last food tasting we had. Immediately after meeting her for our wedding food tasting, she won us over with her traditional home cooked Italian and her kind/motherly personality. She made our food tasting experience so easy; she never once pushed us or put any pressure on us (like most wedding vendors). Once we quickly finalized them to cater our wedding, she was an absolute pleasure to work with; she is organized, responsive, attentive, detail oriented and so incredibly sweet. She is very good about knowing your likes and dislikes and makes sure that you are 100% happy with your decision. We chose her, not only for her sweet demeanor, but her Italian food is top notch authentic ITALIAN. True Italian that tastes like a home cooked meal, which is hands down one of our favorites. Elisabetta did not make us your typical spaghetti and meatballs, she cooks much more! At the wedding, she served delicious bites for the happy hour portion. For the reception we had Veal Saltimbocca, Roasted Wild Caught Salmon, Eggplant Parmigiana, and so much more. Finally for desserts, we forgoed serving cake and instead had a dessert table serving her homemade desserts - Tiramisu bites, Panna Cotta and more paired with a coffee and tea table. We are so impressed and couldn't have chosen a better caterer for our wedding. The food, service, and everything all around was absolutely amazing. I would recommend Think Italian Events! to anyone who needs catering for any party, event, or wedding. We would even love to have Elisabetta come over and cook a homemade meal! Thank you to Elisabetta and crew - you made our wedding experience more than amazing and memorable. It's been a couple months out and we are still hearing about how delicious the food and dessert was. Now THAT is a compliment :)
