Still looking for the perfect Valentine's Day idea or a fun idea for your next girl's night? Try a cooking class!

Last weekend I went to Irwin Street Cooks and learned to make pasta (all by hand, no machines allowed!). Let's just say it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be - but it sure was fun! And then I got to sit down with new friends and feast on handmade ravioli stuffed with cheese, basil and walnuts and topped with a yummy homemade tomato sauce! This class was 100% hands-on and suitable for beginners as well as those with a bit more know-how. Everyone had a great time, and it was even BYOB!
