Chef Jess was great. She was engaging, kind, and patient. It was my first time doing any cooking class and I will definitely be coming back to take another class with her.

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
