Chef Afi NEVER disappoints. I have been coming to her cooking classes ... for over 2 years. I have brought several children to a number of Chef Afi's cooking classes .... No matter the pickiness of the child, they have ALWAYS enjoyed her recipes. To me (a mother of 4 and babysitter of many) that is a true testament of her skill and good food. She works well with children as well as adults (less difficult). She keeps everyone engaged and I am more willing to try the recipes I have tried in her class. Chef Afi is a great chef and instructor. My kids have often asked to recreate something that we have learned in her class. Big thanks to CHef Afi.
