This was by far the best cooking class weβve ever taken! Rosemary was an amazing host and such a lovely person. She guided us through the entire cooking process with care and patience and I must say our pretzels came out super delicious π We had a ton of fun while cooking, shared stories with Rosemary and had such a great time. I absolutely recommend everyone to take this class and Iβm sure I will be making our own soft pretzels at home from now on, and Iβm certain my husband and I will take her other cooking classes as well when we come back to NYC! Thank you SO much Rosemary! π€π₯¨

Rosemary was knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind! My partner and I did this to learn a new skill since we love buying pretzels but wanted to know how to make them ourselves. She walked us through the whole process, explained everything and was a great conversationalist. Iβd highly recommend taking one of her classes! π₯¨πβ€οΈ

We LOVED our time with Rosemary, we were looking for something fun and interesting to do, out of the heat with a little less walking. We signed up on a whim, and had a great time making pretzels, and an even better time getting to know Rosemary and her fascinating life. We would do another class with her (she offers a variety) on return trip ππ₯¨π

Rosemary was AMAZING as a host! I asked her if we could switch the time for the pasta-making class, and she agreed without hesitation. I was so glad because this allowed us to accommodate an activity for my sister-in-lawβs bridal shower. We all LOVED the class. Rosemary explained everything from beginning to end and was always open to questions. The location was super easy to find. Rosemary also took a bunch of photos for us to keep as memories. Hopefully, we will do more classes with her in the future. Thank you so much! πππΈ

This was both fun and delicious. Rosemary is a delight. She matched her teaching style to my level of experience (none) and took pictures for me to remember the process throughout. I made 6 amazingly delicious soft pretzels, got to know an amazing woman (sheβs badass!!), and have great discussions about life and travel. Itβs the most fun Iβve had in ages!! Well worth it!!! π₯¨ππΈ

We really enjoyed our session making pretzels with Rosemary. We were running a bit late because of bad weather that day but Rosemary was very accommodating and didnβt rush us at all. Throughout the whole process she made pictures and videos of our experience and shared it with us immediately after. The pretzels itself were delicious and she made sure we felt empowered to make them ourselves at home, which we will definitely do! π₯¨πΉπ

Rosemary was so sweet and accommodating. She accepted our request hours before the class. The pasta was so easy to make and the sauce was delicious. We spent more time chatting and eating than cooking because Rosemary was so easy to talk to and was the best company. She has a lot of experience when it comes to cooking and she provides the freshest ingredients. Rosemary made us feel at home in her own home. We loved the class so much that my husband and I are looking to book another class with in her the future. If you want this one-of-a-kind experience, don't hesitate to book with Rosemary ππβ€οΈ

Rosemary is a very special person in every way. She is intelligent, thoughtful and insightful. Seemingly baking is something that you can do in your own kitchen but itβs not like that in her place. Our experience baking pretzels with Rosemary was unique. She presented each step of the process in a creative pleasurable way. The results were extremely impressive and satisfying. Very professional tour with a personal touch. Me and my granddaughter loved it π₯¨β€οΈπ©βπ«

Rosemary welcomed us into her home and treated us like friends over. Her cooking lesson was simple and she made it easy. She shared a lot about her life and how she started teaching classes. My sister and I took the class together and we both were pleased with what we learned and how good the pretzels were. We brought home 7 pretzels each. We are confident we can replicate it at home and very excited to have these new skills π₯¨ππ©βπ³

Unique experience. I booked this as a NYC resident when a family member came to visit. Rosemary thoughtfully set up a station for my 8 year old at the right height and kept him engaged throughout the process. She also took great pictures and video for us. We now have a wonderful family memory to share π¨βπ©βπ§πΈπ

I did this experience with my 8 years old daughter. We are both gluten free and we appreciate being able to participate in this experience. She and I had a great time. Rosemary was so thoughtful with my daughter and made sure to involve her in everything and put her really in the center of this experience. This was definitely a highlight of our trip for us and we could not recommend this experience enough to everyone visiting New York City. Oh... and the pretzels are delicious!!!! π₯¨π§π

Really great and unique experience. I booked this as part of a birthday gift for my partner and we loved the intimacy of the experience, Rosemaryβs expertise, and the process of making pasta itself. Like another reviewer, I was initially apprehensive booking being that it was held inside of an apartment as opposed to a business establishment but once we arrived I saw how well this setup actually works. Rosemaryβs home is beautiful and cozy, really well decorated and the area we used to cook was just right. The pasta came out great along with the sauce and was very filling, you can go without eating beforehand and Rosemary was sure to meet our vegetarian needs. Rosemary holds a variety of classes, my partner and I will be back for another. Thank you Rosemary for making my partnerβs birthday experience a special one πππ

Thoroughly enjoyed our soft pretzel class with Rosemary. We made custom pretzel flavors- traditional salt, everything, poppy seed and cinnamon sugar. The space is perfect for small group private learning. Rosemary was an excellent teacher, taking the time to ensure we learned the process and pause for questions and personalized photographs along the way. We enjoyed hearing about Rosemaryβs career and personal journey. A personal recipe card after was the cherry on top! π₯¨πΈπ

What a wonderful cooking class experience. I took the Fresh Naan Bread cooking class with Rosemary. I always wanted to learn how to make my own Naan bread, and Rosemary was the perfect person to teach me how. Upon arrival, Rosemary welcomed me with a big smile and made me feel right at home. It didnβt matter whether I was a beginner or an experienced cook, she gears her instructions according to the individual student. She was thorough and provided expert instructions every step of the way. I was so pleased the class was βhands onβ. I made my first batch of Naan bread myself and learned how to fold in various fillings, a truly rewarding experience. The warm bread right out of the oven was delicious. I left with a huge bag of homemade Naan to enjoy. I canβt wait to book another class with Rosemary πππ©βπ«

If you're considering a cooking class with Rosemary for a date, a gift, or just for fun, BOOK NOW!! I booked a pretzel-making class with my girlfriend as a Christmas gift and she couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had (and how delicious the final results were). Rosemary was easy to communicate with, gave clear instructions to get to her apartment, and welcomed us both with a big smile. Her cooking instructions are simple, clear, and incredibly helpful, and she's kind and encouraging through and through. I get the sense that she curates her classes toward experience level and the general vibe of the couple/group, so her classes would be fantastic for anyone from beginners to experienced home chefs. Rosemary steps in to help when needed but otherwise 100% of the class, from activating the yeast to applying the final touches, is all in your hands. She also takes pictures and videos throughout the class to look back on. We left with 2 bags full of everything + cinnamon sugar pretzels (after eating a couple fresh out of the oven) β I wish I had enough left over to last for the next month because we can't get enough. I'm already looking forward to booking another class with Rosemary in the near future! ππ₯¨π

Such a fun experience for my teen boys, my hubs, and me. Rosemary was so kind and we ate really well. I highly recommend.

Stop your life and sign up for this class immediately!!! Calling all local New York City Residents AND tourists - this is something you will be able to brag to your friends about for a while!! EVERYONE will be jealous! Rosemary has the energy of a 25 year old - that's her passion keeping her so young. Plus, she LOVES what she's doing, loves teaching, loves meeting people from around the world, and is an excellent educator. You will have so many phenomenal pics for posting! I am a NYC resident. I live just up the road, and I wanted to do something really cool, unique and different for my boyfriend's birthday. He is a Michelin star trained chef, and after planning a weekend of events for him, he said his favorite part of the entire weekend was Rosemary's class. He had a blast! While we were making the pretzels, Rosemary was taking candid pics of us working together and she shared them with us afterwards and they were so cute I nearly cried. Have your cameras ready to document this, bring a bottle of wine with you if you'd like, and be ready to eat DELICIOUS pretzels for the next few days!! Rose gave us air-tight bags to take them home in, and 5 days later they are still fresh and yummy! Next up: Rosemary told me about the special Christmas cooking classes she teaches over the holidays - Wine lollipops!? Sign me and my girlfriends up!! :D ππ₯¨πΈ

A wonderful experience for our 7 and 13 year olds as well as mom and dad. Rosemary is extremely passionate about what she does and great at it, and perhaps more importantly, is very warm. A perfect combination and atmosphere in which to learn something new, bond with friends or family, and have a ton of fun. Plus at the end you have something delicious to eat for your troubles!

I booked this class as a surprise for my husbandβs birthday. My husband was completely thrown off because the location was in a multi level home but the kitchen area was set up with a chef prep table and racks that gave it a professional kitchen feel. This was a plus! The class was only for the two of us which was great considering COVID. Rosemary wore her mask, as well as us, the entire time unless eating or drinking. Rosemary offered a personalized experience by sharing stories, taking photos and instructing at a pace that was manageable for our learning styles. We didnβt feel rushed and even had dough to take home for us to experiment with making pasta on our own. We were provided free water and soda and given glasses for our bottle of cider that we brought online for BYOB. I would absolutely recommend this class πππΈ

WOW, better than expected.

I have returned home and told numerous friends they must hit one of her many classes. Who knew making (& eating) pretzels could be so much fun. Rosemary was very professional and extremely patient with my daughter, but we walked away confident in our future pretzel making. This class was a blast, but Rosemary made it perfect π₯¨π§π
