It was very hard to hear her. A microphone or speaker would have made it more enjoyable. It also would have been nice to have cut some of the things ourselves so it felt more like cooking instead of just assembling. I enjoyed that she came around to help everybody

It was an ok class but we started 20 minutes late and then most of the class was just her chopping. I understand the fish and avocados should be fresh but the veggies she could’ve cut beforehand and then maybe we could’ve done something else in the meantime. Maybe give us something to do rather than sit there

If I could give Chef Monica more than 5 stars, I would. I decided to book a cooking class with Chef Monica for my husband’s birthday, and I am so so glad I did! We had an amazing time! Chef Monica had such a kind and patient way about herself. She was also super considerate and accommodating. Last but not least she has a deep knowledge of food and culinary science.
