Jordan was fantastic! The whole experience felt very wholesome. Jordans demeanor is very soft and gentle and helps rid the environment of any sort of judgement/stress when learning new things. He is also very well spoken and taught us the fundamentals very well. He is very knowledgeable and we learned alot. I would highly recommend Jordans class. The only negative thing I have to say is that the kitchen used (specifically for my class - Union Kitchen in NE DC) is pretty rundown.
