I highly recommend Chef Baba's cooking classes. 
My wife and I took a class a few weeks ago and loved it so much that we returned with a private class for 19 of our closest friends and family to celebrate the holidays. We did the Marsala and tiramisu for our first class and did the Flambé and Chicken parm class for our group. 

Chef Baba has a great sense of humor, jokes around with everyone, tells stories, and even acts a little. All of our food was amazing . We will definitely be back. 

 
Again, highly recommend!!!
