ABOUT THE ACTIVITY
While the fresh salad and wonderful pasta dish created here is certainly spectacular, the main draw of this class is learning how to make one of the most delicious Italian desserts in existence, Tiramisu! This beloved sweet treat consists of ladyfingers drenched in espresso. These ladyfingers are then layered with a sinfully delicious mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone cheese! This is a dessert that many people think is too complicated to make at home, yet here you will learn how to re-create this dish that is sure to please the whole family!

A Gourmet’s Delight
 (3)
Take your cooking chops to the next level with The Refined Cook Culinary Series — cooking class social events where you learn to prepare healthy, gourmet dinners and meet cool folks ... morein the process.

Wife and husband team, Marlene and Jeff, are passionate cooks and dinner hosts extraordinaire. They will show you how to prepare a sophisticated and fun dinner for a small group (you) and let you in on practical tips, shortcuts and plating techniques to elevate everyday meals into extraordinary ones. You can participate as little or as much as you want—think of it as a cooking class where you get to party, or a party where you’ll learn how to cook! 

Get ready to roll out some dough—we’re going to make this elegant pizza of organic figs and three cheeses that’s an absolute favorite with friends. And that’s just the appetizer. Jeff will share a restaurant secret in making perfectly cooked cod loin, and we will prepare a compound butter that's a match-made-in-heaven with roasted butternut squash. Finally, we’ll cap the evening with divine cacao and hazelnut cookies served with a dollop of our favorite organic ice cream. 

In this class, we will make:

Fig and Three Cheese Pizza, Breaded Cod-Loin with white wine and capers, Roasted butternut squash with sage butter sauce, Cacao and Hazelnut cookies served with Alden ‘s Vanilla Ice Cream
Home Made Dumplings
 (6)
It can be intimidating to participate in a cooking class, particularly if you are learning a technique that is unfamiliar. In the Home Made Dumplings class, Chef Patty Chan and Chef ... moreMarco make their participants feel immediately at home by beginning the session with a simple introduction. “The first thing we ask them is to tell a story,” Chef Marco explains. “And that’s the hardest part for most people. It’s not the dumpling making but telling a story about their experience with food. Food is a gathering point…. We try to express how this is going to be a story in their book.”

Chef Patty Chan seeks to impart her passion for dumpling cooking upon each and every one of the class participants. She honors her family’s heritage and her own personal memories by carefully yet informally instructing students in the art of dumpling making. Here you will learn everything you need to know about dumpling making, from constructing the skin to creating the fillings to learning the five traditional folding and crimping techniques!

In this class we will make:

Scallion Pancakes

Signature Pork Dumplings

Chicken Dumplings (With red skin made from beet flour)

Vegetarian Dumplings (With green skin made with parsley flour)

My girlfriend bought us a class for Christmas with Celio learning how to make pasta and it was by far the best present of 2018. We had such an amazing time learning all about the ingredients and Italian language used for what we were making it felt like such an authentic experience. Celio was extremely personable and amusing so the laughs never stopped while really learning how to prepare an excellent ... more meal. The quality of the food was out of this world I could not believe we all made it in a class setting with a few simple directions. Eating and cooking family style with everyone there was very fun and exciting I'm confident no one left without having a great time. Highly recommend Self Up Venue, definitely will be back for the sushi class!!!

I bought this class as a Christmas present for my whole family and it was so fun! Chef Celio was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience not only informative but fun too!! We learned how to make fresh mozzarella for caprese salads, four different types of pasta, and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was delicious!! I cannot recommend this class enough, if you're looking for a creative gift, ... more Celio's fresh pasta class is perfect!

This was such a fun evening out! We did the Italian dinner with tiramisu finale. There was fine and cheese to start and the perfect amount of active activity for me (ie things are prepped but you make the dough, cut the pasta, etc). Great group of people there too. I highly recommend.

Great couples date night here for Italian Night with Tiramisu finale. It was a great combination of fun, informative, but low-key.
This is definitely the place to go with a big group of people where everyone can do more or less work as they'd like. It's also really nice in that there were nearly 18-20 people that fit comfortably here. I feel like most cooking classes are way too large or too small -- great middle ground here.The chef/mastro Celia was entertaining, flexible, and a good adult-focused teacher. He even ran down the ... more street to Whole Foods to get another 8 bottles of wine to accommodate our thirsty crew!The food was amazing. We made mozzarella for caprese salad, four types of fresh pasta (tortelloni, spaghetti, fettuccini, and gnocchi), and tiramisu. It was tons of food and had four different sauces. The space is good for the number of people. It's in a nice location near SOWA with a parking lot with decent availability of spaces right next to the building. The space itself seems like a hardwood flooring by day/SELFUP space by night, but it's totally fine for the needs of the program.I'll definitely be coming back to try some of the other classes and bringing friends.

Came here for a yelp elite event and It was such a blast!! This is PERFECT for a date night or a get together with friends!We started off with some wine and cheese (and non-alcoholic beverages for those who have work the next morning). It was a little meet and greet before we actually began, which was nice!We learned so much from Celio and he was very friendly and funny! The raviolis and tortellinis ... more were delicious! They were cooked in two separate dishes- a tomato sauce and a butter sauce. I can't decide which one I liked more- probably the tomato sauce one. We then made a salad and it was well seasoned and somewhat easy to make! The spaghetti was rich and creamy, light and not too heavy! the best part was obviously dessert.. which was tiramisu.I've learned so much from the great chef and can use this knowledge for when I cook at home (which I never because I don't really know how to cook well). I will definitely come again to learn other recipes!

Thanks to the Yelp Elite Squad invitation I went. I would not have thought of a cooking class. And I would not have thought that cooking class could be that much fun. One of the most fun YES! events. I already put Selfup on my company's team building project list. So what did we learn: Pasta dough mixing and rolling, tortelloni, tagliatelle, ravioli, ... parmesan salad bowls, tiramisu. Now I know ... more how to use the damn gadgets that were collecting dust in my kitchen cabinet (and probably in yours too).

I had an amazing time at the Pasta Making class last night that I was lucky enough to attend as a member of Yelp Boston's Elite! Chef Celio Pereira led us through an informative, fun, and tasty evening of creating Italian delights, including homemade truffle and ricotta stuffed tortelloni, fresh mozzarella topped salads in Parmesan bowls, and a decadent grand finale of tiramisu. Come hungry to Selfup ... more cooking classes - you'll definitely get your fill of delicious food! We had a great time getting to know each other over feeding huge sheets of pasta through a machine, taking quirky photos of cheese pulling, and scooping sweet ricotta for make your own tiramisu, and I would highly recommend Selfup as an awesome team building venue for a group! This is a great class for people of all levels of interest in cooking, and there's no pressure if you want to participate or sit back and take it all in. The classes are reasonably priced for the ample amount of food that is provided, and we were there for about three hours. I can't wait to go to more Selfup classes and I am looking into taking my boyfriend to a pizza making one for Valentine's Day!

We booked the class as a bachelorette party for my sister! We had the most amazing time. Our teacher/chef Celio was really nice, knowledgeable and knew how to keep us entertain. He had wine & cheese waiting for us and served us the food we prepared together. It was a really great time bonding with the girls in a great atmosphere. I will definitely book this class again. Thanks for a great time Celio! ... more Until next time!

I took my wife for her birthday last Friday as we were in Boston for Thanksgiving visiting her family. We took the Italian Food class and we had an absolute blast. Chef Celio was very entertaining and a great teacher! I am not a great cook by any means and I felt the skills I learned I will definitely be using in the future.Dinner afterwards was absolutely delicious as well! I am going to be giving ... more my sister-in-law and her husband a class as a gift for Christmas. Great couple's activity.One small note, it gets a bit chilly in the venue (although it is a very cool spot!), so bring a couple of layers.

It's incredible every time I meet Cheff Celio Pereira, he's the best Cheff I've ever seen. He's lessons are great, it makes cook easy; I asked him how many classes it would take to learn how to cook at home a good meal, he said one class, I didn't believe at first but after the class I see I can do it, incredible food with the best guy in the market!!! Another time extremely satisfied!!Everyone should ... more take a class with this man! He's the best guy ever

I had a wonderful time with my four kids (14-22). We learned how to make pasta, salad and desert. The food was absolutely delicious and the night was full of laughter. We were originally going to go to dinner in the North end but decided to give this a try. Come with a big appetite, there is a lot of food!

Learned how to make fresh pasta with Chef Celio. He is a wonderful and charming instructor who made the entire process look effortless. I booked this class for a date night, and it was a success! My boyfriend and I had so much fun. The class was set up so that everyone was working around a kitchen island. Everyone worked together to make 4 types of pastas. We also enjoyed salad, wine, appetizers, ... more and tiramisu. I usually feel empty without eating meat, but this vegetarian meal was delicious and filling. I had such a great time and highly recommend this class.

I had the most wonderful time making fresh pasta with a group of strangers led by chef Celio. We walked in and were greeted with complimentary wine! What a nice surprise. We made 3 types of pasta from scratch: butternut squash and ricotta tortelloni, fettuccine, and gnocchi. Nothing can compare to fresh pasta and chef Celio even paired them each with a different sauce. For our appetizers, we hand ... more pulled our own mozzarella bocconcini for our salads. He also amazed me by making Parmesan bowls right in front of us to put our salads in. I had no idea it was that easy to do, mind blown. As if that wasn't enough, we made tiramisu for dessert to finish the night. I can't rave about this experience enough and look forward to coming back with friends and family. This would be perfect for a birthday or team building. Bonus: vegetarian friendly. I personally am not but I loved how inclusive this class was for vegetarians while still being delicious. Celio has decades of experience working as a chef in the north end and he was so friendly and fun. Definitely worth it!

My wife and I were looking for a unique date night and we were not let down! Chef Celio and his wonderful wife were kind, inviting, helpful, and hilarious, and the class (and food!!) was amazing! We made 4 different pasta dishes and a salad that looked like they could be served at a 5 star restaurant, but Chef Celio showed us how we could make them at home in our own kitchen. And of course, who can ... more forget the delicious tiramisu to end the evening. This is money well spent - it's a great learning experience, a great night out, a great dinner, and also a great chance to meet and interact with others taking the class. If I could give this 6 stars, I would!

This was the first cooking class I've done in Boston, but definitely not the last with this chef! Celio and his wife helped us prepare a delicious spread of seasonal pastas with just the right amount of education and enough freedom to really learn from the class. The passion in each dish was conveyed by the silence during the meal! Our group of 6 worked together with the chef to create 4 pastas, a ... more salad, and a dessert. Coupled with wine, our class was perfect! Looking forward to the expansion of Selfup and what's to come next.

I took the Italian Brunch class with Celio Pereira, which focused on salad, homemade mozzarella, pasta, and tiramisu. I've always been too intimidated to attempt mozzarella or pasta from scratch, but Celio made it SO simple. Even though the class was large (~20 people), he gave each person individual attention and had us all working together by the end. I still can't believe how incredible everything ... more turned out. With a combination of demonstration and practice, followed by plenty of time for tasting (my personal favorite), I really understood how all of the steps came together to form the restaurant-quality finished product. And I *really* mean restaurant quality. It was to DIE for - it would make anyone's Italian grandmother proud. After just a few short hours, I feel fully equipped to tackle my own Italian brunch, start to finish. Celio's bubbliness and attention to his students is really an experience you cannot miss. Plus --- this makes a great date!

I just had the pleasure of taking the Italian Brunch class with Chef Celio. You can't help but be moved by his incredible passion and love for cooking. I smiled the entire time. More importantly, as someone who doesn't regularly cook, he showed how simple it was to make gourmet Italian food at home--and gourmet it was. The food was as good as the best North End restaurant you'll find!

Such a fun experience!! We did Chef Celio's Italian Dinner with Tiramisu Finale cooking class with, where we made four kinds of pasta dishes, fresh burrata salad and tiramisu - all from scratch! :) Chef Celio has 32 years experience in Italian cuisine and made the class super interactive and fun! The class was a total of about 12-15 people, a great size to meet some new people and interact. There ... more were also some appetizers and drinks available for us to enjoy while we prepared the food! After about two hours of cooking, everyone sat down at a communal table and enjoyed the delicious dinner together! These classes are also great for team building/group activity and very reasonably priced for 3 hour cooking class + full dinner! Can't wait to try their dumpling and chocolate making classes!

I've never taken a cooking class before and was blown away over how fun this was and how easy it was to follow along. The Italian cooking class was about ten people which was the perfect size. It was also located right in the North End which was not only convenient but felt very authentic. Chef Celio was a great teacher and made ever step simple and fun. He was the head chef at Mamma Maria in the ... more North End for 17 years and if you know anything about Italian in the North End, you know just exactly how impressive that is. We started the night with plenty of wine (an unexpected but awesome treat) and then we made fresh mozzarella to put on a salad. As an added bonus, because we had some extra time, we even got to make a parmesan cup to put the salad in (and I'm always a fan of incorporating more cheese into a meal). For the pasta we made ricotta gnocchi, truffle ravioli, truffle tortelloni, and fettucine -- some regular pasta and some squid ink pasta. It was really cool to learn how to make multiple types of pasta and everyone had a hand in making each dish. Turns out making pasta is pretty easy! I'll definitely start doing it at home now. After a couple hours of cooking, the class sat down together to eat and it was amazing how a bunch of strangers came together to cook something so delicious. By the end, I truly feel like I made some new friends. To finish, we all had a blast making homemade tiramisu. Definitely recommend for a birthday, anniversary, work event, or just a girl's night out. It's probably one of the most affordable cooking classes I've found and we made so much food!

It was my first italian cooking class and it was so much fun! I learned how to make 3 different types of pasta (tortelloni, fettuccini, ravioli) and gnocchi. I had an awesome time with my friends! Even though dinner was not ready until 2 hours after, there were appetizers and lots of wine available! Definitely recommend to go with a group of friends!

I've always been wary of cooking classes because 70% of the time, I can't eat what we cook being a vegetarian. However, I found the Vegetarian Italian cooking class on the SelfUp website and was so excited to try it! Our class was in the South End (lots of parking available) and we were anxious to make some homemade Italian food. There were drinks (wine!) and small apps when we got there and then ... more we got started with the class. The instructor, Celio, made the pasta dough (you have to make a lot for a class of 15), but he showed us how to make it. The first pasta we made was a tortelloni (a larger tortellini) with a homemade ricotta filling. We got to roll and stuff them, which was cool! Then we put them to the side and got started on the next one which was linguini. Next, we made a ricotta based gnocchi (found I like this much better than potato-based ones). Finally, we did the beet spaghetti. Once we prepared all the pastas, we made our own individual tiramisu. This was our favorite part! We let them sit for an hour while we prepared homemade mozzarella from cheese curds to make a salad. Finally, we sat down for dinner (with our salads that we prepared) while Chef Celio put the pasta dishes together. The first dish was the tortelloni with a puttanesca sauce (SO GOOD!). The second was the ricotta based gnocchi with a brown butter sage sauce (I literally could not stop eating this). Next up was fettuccine alfredo, which was Josh's favorite. Our whole group was so full after these that we didn't cook the beet spaghetti and instead got to take bags of it home. We finished off the evening with our tiramisu. The whole night was SO much fun. We think it's a great date night activity, but also great for team building. Loved every second and we didn't want it to end. AND we left full! Could not have been better. Thank you SelfUp and Chef Celio!
