What a great time with Chef Rick! He shows just how easy it is to make homemade tortillas from scratch--no rolling pins here--all by hand! Want an easy and alternative approach to a healthy salad with just using a potato peeler? And if you've ever wondered how to present eggs in a unique, yet delicious way--Chef Rick will show you. A fun time with a chef who is passionate about food and preparing it for others. Definitely take this class!
