We had the best time cooking with Chef Lisa! The food was so delicious and Chef Lisa did an excellent job of explaining not just how to cook the dishes, but also the science behind it all which was super interesting. I highly recommend this class to anyone with interest in Thai cuisine. I’m sure I will be cooking these recipes for many years to come! 5 out of 5.

Chef Lisa's expertise and patience as a teacher exceeded my expectations! She effortlessly accommodated my request for gluten free/allergy free cooking with another students' request for mac and cheese. We cooked many more dishes than I thought would be possible in such a short time - Romesco sauce, polenta, pan seared shrimp and dijon chicken, pan sauce tips and tricks, amaretti cookies and...mac&cheese! She was exceedingly generous with her time and knowledge, and I left her kitchen feeling much more confident in my cooking skills.
