I joined the Italian Dinner with Tiramisu Finale cooking class. The space is spacious and clean, and the chef instructors were very knowledgeable and kept the class fun! Shoutout to Chef Danny, Chef Ygael, and the rest of the team for being so warm and inviting. The menu consisted of: Ravioli with marinara sauce, Salad with homemade mozzarella, Chicken marsala, Linguini with pesto sauce, and Tiramisu. There was also charcuterie and refreshments, including wine, available to us as soon as we walked in! The class + eating time did take up 2.5-3 hours. Because it started at 6, I was eating dinner closer to 8:30-9PM (so was very hungry haha). I think my only suggestion to the team is to see if they can incorporate ways for participants to cook the dishes and prepare sauces. I think that is likely to teach more tangible skills people will bring back home for their own culinary endeavors. Otherwise, this was a great experience! read more

I had an amazing experience this past Sunday with Chef T at the Italian Pasta w/ Tiramisu Finale class. I do not know how to cook to save my life but I left this class with so many tips and tricks. I brought my boyfriend along because he likes to cook and eat as well. The class started off on a good note with drinks, charcuterie and candy. I was a few minutes late because I couldn't find parking but the class did not start yet. I found a empty seat and grabbed a sparkling water as we waited for more people to come in. The chef who was teaching us introduced herself as Chef T, her energy was infectious and we were all super excited! List of things we made - Tiramisu - we started off with this because it needed to chill and marinate in the fridge. It was super easy to make and I'm going to be making this quite often now! Mozzarella - I had no idea that it was this easy to make, and all it takes is hot water. I learned how to shape it onto little mushroom balls to compliment our salads. Pasta - we made ravioli with lemon ricotta filling and pesto fettuccine, it was so fun to hand make the dough as well as rolling it. I loved seeing the pasta come into form! Chicken Marsala - chef T demonstrated this and how to "flambé", it was a great demonstration and she did not skimp on the wine. After all our hard work, we were able to taste test our dishes-- which were all super delicious! Thanks to Chef T, I come away from this class a better cook and I had so much fun. Also, thank you Self Up for offering the opportunity for me to take this class. read more

This is the perfect cooking class for beginners, families, group events, special occasions, and more! I came for the Italian class. They started us off with lots of wine/beverage options and charcuterie. We made such a huge variety of foods: hand-pulled mozzarella pearls for a fresh salad, handmade pasta for fettucine (my favorite) and stuffed ravioli, chicken marsala, and tiramisu. The chefs are fun and get everyone engaged. Come hungry and ready to get your hands dirty! read more

My husband and I went to NYC for our baby moon and was looking for something new and exciting to do, so we chose the Italian cooking class with the Tiramisu finale, and I am so glad we did! Chef Ygael was INCREDIBLE! Not only was he an amazing chef, but he shared so much knowledge on the food and cooking processes and the history! His assistant, Franchesca was also so much fun and so amazing! We started with the tiramisu which then went in the fridge while we cooked the other items. It was so easy and so easy! We then learned how to make homemade mozzarella cheese which was such a great time! We even got to take a bite straight from the water during the process. It was truly just an incredible experience. We then made homemade ravioli & fettuccine! We watched chef make a homemade pesto, which I immediately came home and ordered the ingredients to make with dinner this week, it was so fresh. He also showed us how to make the sauce for the chicken Marsala which he also made ahead of time and had in the oven cooking for 2.5 hours prior to us getting there. All the food was then plated and served to our tables. They had wine and soda and snacks as well before the cooking started! The whole experience I would recommend to anyone, couple or single person looking to learn! It was incredible and we cannot say enough amazing things about Chef Ygael! Thank you Self Up! read more

A Perfect Saturday Night at the Mexican Fiesta Cooking Class! What an incredible experience! Chef Edgar, Executive Chef Paige, and Chef Dale made this night unforgettable with their energy, expertise, and passion for authentic Mexican cuisine. We learned to make crispy carnitas, the freshest salsa verde, and the most delicious guacamole--all from scratch! And to top it off, we ended the night with homemade churro ice cream, an absolute showstopper. The hands-on experience, festive atmosphere, and incredible flavors made this more than just a class--it was a full-on fiesta! If you love great food and good vibes, this is a must-do. Can't wait for the next one! read more

This was the best cooking class I've ever taken! From start to finish, this was such a great learning experience. When we walked in we were greeted by Chef Danny. There was also a charcuterie spread along with non alcoholic drinks and also endless red and white wine! I love how precisely Chef Danny walked us through each step. Also, there were several other chefs walking around to help when needed. There were about 20-30 people in the class but I felt like I still received hands on experience and undivided attention. We made mozzarella, tiramisu, ravioli, fettuccini, chicken Marsala. Everything was vegetarian aside from the chicken Marsala. I let the chef know in advance, so he separated out the mushrooms for me before combing it with the chicken. With the pastas, he showed us exactly how to make it from start to finish. We even got to use the kitchenaid machines for the dough we made. He taught us how to exactly fill the ravioli and how to cut it. He also taught us how to properly cut onions and prepare mushrooms. I can't believe how precise and extensive this class was. It was so much fun too. I already want to take another class with Chef Danny. read more

Chef Alex and assistant chef Mark were A-m-a-z-i-n-g! They took their time to explaining anf go over questions we had. The food was so good! Even if this was a bit more (price wise) it would be well worth it. The small group and intimate group was so well worth it. Please book any class with Chef Alex and assistant Chef Mark!!!! read more

A friend and I booked the Italian cooking class and were pumped to have an interactive night dedicated to cooking and eating pasta. Little did we know, it was much more than that. The class had about 30 or so people working together to create an amazing 3 course meal. There were very detailed instructions and demos provided by the fabulous chefs who then monitored us while we each attempted our own creations. There were also snacks, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available the entire time in case you get a little hungry / thirsty. Our menu consisted of a salad with homemade mozzarella, homemade ravioli, homemade pesto linguini, chicken marsala, and tiramisu. My friend and I are both vegetarian and really appreciated the chefs creating a vegetarian friendly version of the marsala sauce including mushrooms instead of chicken. It's always great to know dietary restrictions can be adjusted for and won't limit you in these classes. All of the food was so fun to make and tasted absolutely delicious. Plus, it was nice to work together with new people in order to successfully make our meal. What a great way to meet new people in the city. My friend and I were so happy with our decision to take a Selfup class and are looking forward to booking again soon. read more

We got a gift to check out their Italian class. It was super fun and a great date night activity. We got to make our own tiramisu, pull fresh mozzarella, and roll various types of pasta. The chef made the chicken Marsala for us but talked us through the steps of the sauce. They do all the prep and final cooking for you so you just participate in the fun parts of the recipes! They had a charcuterie board and drinks at the beginning to munch on so you don't get hungry while cooking. The food at the end was absolutely delicious. I had a great time and would love to check out their other classes. read more

So amazing and fun. Hard to focus a group of 50 and by god they did it! Cause damn the food was fire too.

Goood service had got vegetarian options as well. It was good service and had a good time

Before I met Chef Paige, my culinary skills were, well... let's just say I could burn cereal. But after one session with her, I walked away feeling like I could actually handle a stove without setting off the smoke alarm. Chef Paige is a spitfire of passion, and it shows not just in her cooking but in her commanding presence. She has the kind of personality that demands attention--not in an overbearing way, but in the way you can't help but listen, laugh, and want to learn. Her fiery humor and charisma had the entire class captivated one minute and confidently rolling out pasta the next. The hors d'oeuvres and a glass of red wine added to the Italian vibes--because let's face it, cooking is less intimidating when you feel like you're in Tuscany (or at least imagining it). And the food? Absolutely delicious. Chef Paige's dishes were bursting with flavor and perfectly captured the heart of Italian cuisine. Now, when it came to the food I prepared, I was fully committed to taste disaster. I knew my attempt would be less than favorable--it's just the natural progression of my culinary disasters. But somehow, with Chef Paige's guidance and a little intervention at just the right moments, my dish turned into something I wasn't just willing to eat--it was actually good. She has this incredible ability to take your culinary missteps and turn them into quality meals. The space was designed for maximum learning. Everything was laid out so perfectly that even I couldn't mess it up (and that's saying something). Paige and her support staff were attentive and encouraging, patiently fielding every one of my endless "why" questions with the grace of someone used to teaching toddlers or very confused adults. What really stood out, though, was Chef Paige's dedication. After the event, she took the time to talk with me one-on-one about an easy recipe I could try at home. She didn't just teach me how to cook; she gave me the tools to walk into my kitchen with confidence. Thanks to her, I was finally able to make something other than frozen pizza for my wife and kids--a small miracle in itself. If you're looking for a cooking class that's equal parts fun, educational, and downright life-changing, look no further than Chef Paige. She doesn't just teach you how to cook--she makes you believe you can. (Even if you're starting from "cereal burner" status like me.) read more

Great experience!!! They paid attention to so many details! Highly recommend! Marty and Matthew are awesome!
