While Chef Michael is very knowledgeable (which is why I'm putting 2 stars instead of 1), it was frustrating that almost nothing was that hands on and everything was done for us in advance. I wish I could get a refund or credit to try a different class because nothing new was learned and the only thing my partner did was break lettuce in half, when this was a surprise birthday gift for him. We both were disappointed. The only thing I did was cut parsley and mix butter. I would have loved to go back and try a new course, but I spent $200 on this one and really regret it. If I could sign up for a different course, my mind would maybe change but as of now, I don't recommend spending that much money unless there's a guarantee that it's hands on.

Chef Michael was great. He was very personable and gave tips and shared his culinary knowledge. it was a fun afternoon. Wish it was for the Fragrant Thai Cuisine class, but learning about gnocchis was good as well.

I attended this class with my 10 year old stepdaughter. We had a blast! There are times we would have enjoyed doing more, like making the broth or pickled mushrooms, however I understand the time constraints. Chef Michael was very clear and relatable and we would definitely come again!
