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.

Karen Lee was fantastic. I learned a lot. She took care of all the details, and when she had some time to spare, she answered questions that the students were interested in. Bravissima!
