My husband and I both enjoyed our cooking class experience with Chef Patrick and team. The location where it was held was great and the kitchen/room was set up perfectly for hands-on participation by everyone (about 16 participants). We were pleasantly surprised how much easier it was (than we thought it would be) to prepare Beef Wellington. Sides were simple, but paired nicely with Beef Wellington - the complete meal was delicious.

I took the pie baking class with Chef Carter and she was wonderful. She said she isn't a baker, but you certainly wouldn't know it. She was patient and kind and skilled.
