Had a lovely time getting hands on with making pizzas! Appreciate the guidance and tips and tricks to bring that high quality pizza home. Chef Peter did a great job balancing kitchen protocols and 2 hour pretend chefs.

Most of the class was focused on seeing the demo of the dishes being made. It would have been nice to make one complete dish by ourselves so we could make it at home - for example, pad Thai noodles were made by us but pad Thai sauce was made by chef. It would have been nice to know how to make a complete dish by ourselves.

We had a fun evening cooking delicious food! Chef Julia made us feel welcome and did a great job explaining how to cook each portion of the meal. Scallops, Risotto and Souffle were all delicious!
