  • Vegetarian Fiesta: Tortillas and Tacos from Scratch

    Reviewed by Kathy L. on 1/28/2020
    Really enjoyed the class. Recipes and techniques were not overly complicated. The space was very nice. Our instructor was easy going and very helpful. The roving assistants gave just the right amount of additional support. Distribution of the recipes via email was new for me and a mixed experience. Great for the environment but awkward in the kitchen. Their were no stands for devices an while we had plenty of workspace for chopping mixing etc. there was limited space to put your phone to reference the recipes if you needed a quick review. On the plus side Chef and assistants were always ready to answer questions. One of the better cooking class experiences I have had.
