This was my first time doing a virtual class, and I absolutely enjoyed it! I have been a baker for more years than I care to remember, lol but I got some great tips from Mel. Will be looking to take another class with her again. I also think maybe smaller classes would help eliminate the extra chit chat and can really create team bonding

I love it!!! I have attended cooking classes at William Sonoma and they were so snobby. Chef Mel was relaxed and very clear with her instructions and ingredients. Her Q&A session was great and I picked up new tips. I never had this type of online class before and I will definitely do a future class with Chef Mel. I put some leftover ganache in my coffee this morning. Yummy!!!
