    Hi, I signed up for this class with my boyfriend. There were a few things we didn't anticipate: 1. The class was in someone's apartment-we thought would be at a public space, not someone's apartment 2. There were no individual cooking stations. We basically watched what others were doing and the supposed to cram into her tiny kitchen. I signed up late for this class, so I appreciate being let in. But was not what I had anticipated and the cost did not justify the experience. We left about 90 minutes into a 4 hour class.

    Great class! Easy to follow recipes and the instructor explained everything extremely well. I didn’t even feel a need to ask any questions. It was thorough but still simple to do.
