Chris was great! This was our first cooking class and he provided a wonderful atmosphere for me and my husband, plus two additional couples. He timed everything well, was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any question or explain something again. We did an Italian meal and it was fabulous from top to bottom. Picking Chris is a great choice!
