At Cucina Della Rosa, we love to share our client’s testimonials and our recent press recognition because they provide vivid examples of how our vision is coming to life in the community.
Yes, we’re a cooking school, but did you know that we can also be the perfect venue for your dad’s surprise retirement party or the best team building or holiday event that your company has ever experienced?
We can even be the excuse you needed to finally start that gourmet club that you have talked about with your girlfriends for years!
These types of examples and even more come to life in our client’s testimonials and articles that we share with pride.
Testimonials:
Mary Beaubien – Barrington, IL
"Thanks so much for going above and beyond what we all expected. The extra food item, the olive oil tasting and the great ‘Girls Night Out’ packet of recipes. I cannot tell you how great the night was and how wonderful we all thought you were!”
Lindsay Tako – IL
“Mary Rose was the perfect host for our ‘Ladies Night Out Birthday Party.’ She taught us wonderful techniques as we made delicious recipes. Her Tilapia in parchment and green bean salad have become favorites. The atmosphere was fun, educational, delicious and intimate.”
Jennifer Wondrasek – Barrington, IL
“My husband was the Chicago Bears ‘Tailgater of the Game’ for the December 30th game while he was making the stuffed flank steak and the Sambuca soaked, pancetta wrapped shrimp from your tailgate class! The NBC reporter at the event was very impressed! Thank you for making such a fun and creative cooking class.”
Anne Cook – Algonquin, IL
“Mary Rose shares her passion and in return it becomes yours. Mary Rose's passion for the kitchen comes through in every encounter. Her enthusiasm for nutrition and cooking is infectious and every opportunity to be in her kitchen is a time of joy and FUN!”
Ed McCauley - McCauley Design, Barrington IL
“When you visit our McCauley Design Showroom, you might see Mary Rose busy at work preparing for a class or treating my staff to a scrumptious lunch. I definitely know when Mary Rose is in the studio because the air is filled with time-honored aromas and her enthusiasm.”
Greg Kelley, Kelley Cellars – Barrington, IL
“I've had the pleasure of working with Mary Rose in several of her cooking classes. The classes are a great way to spend some fun, quality time, with friends, family, co-workers, or clients.”
“All of this is done in a setting that has been designed to be attractive and very functional. What a great combination -- food, wine, and friends, in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere!”
Annette Manzardo – Buffalo Grove, IL
“We are still talking about my husband’s surprise birthday party with Mary Rose. The party itself was a hit, with the main event being a multi-course dinner, from appetizer to dessert and there was no clean up for us! It was the perfect way to celebrate. We all felt like one big happy family.”
Melanie Andes – Vernon Hills, IL
“Mary Rose is such a delightful person and I felt as if she were helping to bring my family tree to life. During the herb class we learned how to prepare pine nuts and use sun dried tomatoes…they are now a staple on our house. We had so much fun making pasta from scratch that we ran out and bought the right kind of flour, a cavatelli machine, a ravioli wheel and knitting needles.”
Renee Muccianti – Kildeer, IL
“I enjoyed the class so much I told a friend about it and the two of us took a fresh pasta making class the next month. I'm sure I'll take another class with Mary Rose. I'm a pretty good cook but there's always more to learn. It definitely isn't a lecture type class. She has the recipes all typed up for us and I took notes as we went along. What was nice, too, was that you can take her classes no matter what level your cooking skills are at.”
Abbey Gage – Barrington, IL
“The conversation was great; the soups delicious, I think you have something with this "Chop & Chat" campaign.”
