Cristina was there as a helper, but did not run our class. Chef Joe did and he was great! I gave 3 stars because I felt the communication between Cozymeal and Sur La Table could have been much better. We weren't even aware this was at a Sur La Table until we asked for specific directions to the venue the day before. Additionally, we weren't told we would be paired with strangers (which we didn't mind from a social perspective but was odd that we shared food with others. Thankfully we were paired with people who seemed like they weren't sick and were clean but that might not be the case). Additionally, the Dim Sum recipes weren't that good. We love dim sum normally, but these were either bland or very salty. We also brought wine (as it said it was BYOB), but you can only drink it during the final few minutes while eating (so I wouldn't recommend bringing any since you can't drink while prepping). You should also note that you will be standing the whole time, including while eating.

The Chef, instructions and meal were great. The Chef also had a keen eye for hand hygiene and cross-contamination which made me very comfortable. The food was also delicious. The only reason I did not give five stars is because after preparing a scrumptous meal, we had to stand to eat it. I've taken cooking classes in the past and each time, we were able to sit and enjoy our freshly prepared meal. It would have been great if folding chairs were made available prior to eating so attendees have the option to stand or sit.
