Cooking Class - Cook a Classic Winter Supper

We had the Winter Feast. The leading chef was friendly and knowledgeable and the assistant although new was helpful and with a great personality. We brought our niece (14yrs old 5'5") and nephew (17yrs old & 6'4") to this experience as our holiday trip. I wanted to help encourage a curiosity and healthy relationship with food. Pros - nice facility, staff, pre measured ingredients, and great recipe. Cons. - Our slice of meat was wayyy smaller than the group across from us. We got the butt weird skinny piece of the tenderloin (Also, it added to the disappointment that my niece is a picky eater and steak is one of the few things that she will eat and we got such a small portion. I mentioned this but might have been too late for them to adjust.) Also, directions were a little confusing on how much leeway we had to adjust based on our needs. - they said we could wait till is was browned for the brussel sprouts the way we wanted but then were rushing us saying it was fine and move on, or when we wanted to adjust our cooking time for our smaller steak we wound up being Well done verse Medium Rare (My niece only nibbled at pieces from it) At the end they said "they are more guidelines than an exact recipe". Also any pre class information about what to wear or be prepared for would have been beneficial for overall process. In addition the chef's mic was not working and it was hard to hear instructor over everyone and store music playing directly above us. The toffee pudding was delicious - but we only found about coffee being included when the event was over.

We had so much fun learning how to make dumplings! What an amazing experience!

Excellent experience!
