The chef was nice but I didn’t feel like I learned how to use the knife properly. I did not receive much feedback and had no idea if I was learning anything. I did get to practice using a nice sharp knife but not sure the skills are transferable to my home kitchen.

Really fun and busy class making pad Thai, deep fried lemongrass corn fritters, shrimp curry, and enjoying coconut rice afterwards, in a group of 12. It was nice to review knife skills as well. Great date or special occasion activity
