I took bread making class.Andrea was a great teacher !

We cooked the Spanish meal which included Patatas Bravas, Seafood Paella and Churro with dark chocolate dip.
The patatas were delicious and the dip took it to another level. The paella was very flavorful and the churros were light and fluffy.
Chef Danushka was patient with our questions and we learned other things beyond what the Spanish feast called for.
Me and my friend had a great and highly recommend it to anyone looking to have fun and learn pro way to cook.
