Really enjoyed the class! I gifted it to two people who I attended with, who also loved it! The class size was small, which meant it was easy to ask our teacher, Dylan, questions. The class was very hands on and it was great to eat the food we made throughout the class. Would definitely attend again for a different cooking class ☺️
