We had ShaSha over to our home to teach my daughter and her friend how to make fresh homemade pasta and panna cotta. The girls loved learning the tips and tricks ShaSha included with her lessons that I know they will remember as they venture onto cooking for from-scratch dishes. ShaSha was lovely and personable and we'd definitely work with her again. And we can't forget the food - so incredible delicious!
