Chef Julie is a down to earth Chef that explains every step thoroughly as well as supervises every table's progress. Our menu was Thai and she gave us ingredient overviews as well as sources for buying some of the unusual items. Excellent, patient instructor!

Disappointing. Not participatory. A lot of standing around, watching, not doing. No control over class. Nowhere near as good as paella class I took. I actually left.
