Couples Cooking Class Make the Best Mexican Street Food

My husband and I just took a private cooking class with Chef Rebecca and made a four course French fare. First off, it was way too expensive for what it was. We merely went to her private house, cooked in her kitchen with her, and ate the meal. I was disappointed that it wasn't in a professional kitchen with other students. We were the only students tonight which was kind of nice, but also not so, because after we ate, we felt rushed to leave the house. The food we made was good though for the most part. The appetizer was okay, but not something I would make on my own as it consisted of baking a whole wheel of camembert cheese and topping it with apples sauteed in butter and sugar. It was good though, but not something we would make. Also, the dessert was not something we would make on our own either. We peeled two pears and soaked them in a whole bottle of red wine. My husband and I both felt that it was a waste of a bottle of wine as when you finish cooking it, you just throw away the rest of the wine. The main meal was chicken sauteed in butter and olive oil first then baked in a caste iron skillet. The chicken could have been cooked longer as it wasn't well cooked and kind of raw in my opinion. My husband who is a very picky eater actually liked it and said it was good, but I didn't think it was cooked well enough for my tastes. The leek sauce was nice and the ratatouille was okay, but we used half a bottle of Chardonnay, which we felt was overdoing it, but I also felt the eggplant could have been cooked longer. Again, this was a very expensive experience for what it was and impractical. EVen though I have to write to her to ask her for the recipe, which I do want, I don't think I'll make it like this again. I think I paid about $270 for the both of us together, almost $300. We've been wanting to take a cooking class together for a while, so we have that checked off our list. I just would not do this again with this company.
