When JJ and I (plus my parents and aunt) arrived, we first got settled in a spacious sunroom with personal workstations. Jolynn started with a demonstration of how to make pasta dough, before giving each of us a chunk to practice the kneading, rolling, cutting, and drying process. We started on individual batches from scratch, with Jolynn providing assistance as needed. Once finished, we tossed the first batch onto the stove and added some bolognese from a simmering pot. We sat down together with a glass of wine before putting the pasta in paper boxes for the drive home (during which we also received recipes via email). TL;DR: Jolynn is a passionate teacher who truly wants you to succeed at making pasta. She also makes a mean pasta sauce.

Reading Terminal Market is reminiscent of Faneuil Hall in Boston, in that there are lots of local…read morefood places concentrated in a *tiny* area. The overall purpose of the market is to feel full, and to feel like one of hundreds of people. And there are so many visitors around lunchtime and later. The walkways between the various cafes, bakeries, and food spots wer streams and rivers of hungry people. So many options of local Pennsylvanian delicacies were available, and seating was plentiful. There was a main seating area in the middle of the market, where you could see classes of high school students being lectured by teachers, workers on their lunch hour nibbling on a snack, and tourists and visitors frantically looking at all the visual splendor and fragrant cookery. Each individual business in the market has something to contribute to the overall experience. If you are close to the market, I recommend going during breakfast, lunch, and dinner to see the difference in food options. I also recommend going before lunch because it is usually a little less packed. Parking is going to be a hassle, so find parking where you can, and try to walk there!

I had a lot of fun attending one of their recent free cooking demonstrations on a Saturday that featured the chefs from Vedge, Rich Landau & Kate Jacoby. We watched as they selected vegetables at Iovine's Produce in the Market and whipped up a delicious vegetarian-based cooking stock. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot (although admittedly I did head right over to Dizengoff for lamb hummus immediately following the demo) That being said, I am really looking forward to an upcoming free demonstration next month featuring Bill Beck from Beck's Cajun Cuisine in the Market and mayor-elect Jim Kenney where they will be cooking up gumbo and pecan pie. I suppose Bill will be doing the cooking and Jim will be doing the talking? Hopefully these free Saturday programs will continue into the future. They are educational, enjoyable, and the price is right!

He took care of everything and there was no stress! I even had to throw in a few last minute guests on him and he handled it like a pro. He made the boys birthday party a special one to remember!

Big thanks to Albert, Agnes and Joey who hosted the event for us! I recommend if you want an out of the ordinary work event or gathering. Edit: I forgot to mention that we were given the South Philly menu which was chicken parm, bruschetta, broccoli rabe, cheese ravioli and salad. It also ended with tiramisu. All were really good! They also have plenty of other menus available for any preferences.

Onna is so kind, and easy to engage with; we just loved her! We would have stayed all night (we practically did) if we could have. Her mom assists her in the kitchen and she is just as sweet!

She is friendly and professional, and her passion for and dedication to her business really shines through in every detail. She sent us home with detailed recipe books of what we cooked that evening, complete with nutritional information, which was a really nice touch.
