What a perfect way to christen our newly remodeled kitchen with a our group of 6 family members and friends! Chef Jacob brought everything we needed to prepare a 3-course Indian dinner. He’s a terrific, easygoing teacher who got everyone chopping, kneading, stirring, and laughing. The food we made was delicious and Jacob left us nicely printed copies of the recipes (which we will definitely prepare again). I highly recommend this!
