My fiancé and I had a stellar experience at Chef Polly's class! She was so friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a ton about Korean food (and cooking in general!) but the experience was also relaxed and fun. Not to mention that the food was so delicious! We can't wait to try out the recipes again at home. Thanks so much Polly!
