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.

We were very excited to learn how to make ramen from scratch last week. However sadly we were very disappointed. The menu stated we would learn how to make ramen noodles, the pork belly, pickled mushrooms, the perfect ramen egg, edamame with chilli salt and a Japanese mint soda. However the only thing we physically did ourselves was make the noodles - which was a cool experience for sure, but then everything else was prepared for us and we were just given everything as a finished product! And we didn’t get to make the mint soda at all. The whole class was highly unorganised and it felt like we just spent $90 for a recipe that we didn’t fully learn from in the first place

Chef Julie is so knowledgeable and very thorough with her explanations of the many steps to the tamale production. A lot was going on in that kitchen last night and she was on top of everything.

I brought my staff team for a team-bonding event and we all had a great time. Everything was really organized and we each were given a chance to cook a different dish. I would say we didn't really learn a lot of cooking because it was moving fast and the chefs finished off most dishes without us. The only real problem is that we had to kind of speed eat while standing up and there was nowhere we could sit and eat and enjoy the food. But all the dishes were tasty and good and the instructor was engaging and friendly. I would consider it again!
