Chef Karen and Chef Anne were amazing instructors as we and our group created a Moroccan meal. They did much of the prep so we were cooking and learning in a relaxed atmosphere and the results were excellent. We all learned loads and we felt like we had made new friends by the end of the evening. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to spend an evening learning useful skills and having a great meal. We brought a nice bottle of wine along which added to the experience.
