Chef David made the class feel so personal, sharing his background, career journey, and passions. We got to meet new people and cook with another couple. Chef David shared knife techniques, some cultural aspects of Spanish cuisine and cookware, and also let us try baking skills. Then, we shared our meal family style after and everything was delicious!.
