This was a very fun and informative class! Vivi and Michi were really great to learn from, they made sure we understood what we were doing, the food was delicious, and there was a ton of it! They were so nice, funny, and caring, as well as having a wealth of knowledge about the history of the food and the science behind a lot of it. I highly recommend taking any of their classes and I will hopefully take another one soon!!

Awesome experience. Chef Vivian and Michi are a dynamic couple that make learning how to cook new dishes a pleasureable experience. Everything is easily broken down to easy bite sized segments and we got to perform each step of the process. Needless to say, eating our creation made it even better. Thank you Chef Vivian and Michi for making our celebration so memorable. Needless to say, we have booked another class. Thank you again
