Chef Zach is very knowledgable about chocolate, and we enjoyed the class. I think the venue was not the best for this, as he had to move around a lot to try to get everyone to hear the presentation. Other than that, it was very good.

Chef Zach is a very knowledgeable chocolatier and teacher. This is my second class with him and he is always helpful. I even called him when I had an issue with a recipe and he helped me fix it. My only issue was the venue. It was hard to hear.
