This was amazing! We have been to other places for cooking classes and this experience was so much better. We loved the one on one teaching with Chef Christmas and Chef Michelle. Not only teaching us the menu recipes but really teaching us techniques and tidbits for all cooking. The food was amazing! We will definitely keep them in mind for all things catering, and classes. They were awesome! If you’re thinking about it, Don’t just book it! You won’t regret it!
