Chef Catalina was great. She was well prepared, good food and good ingredients. She explained why we were preparing items a certain way and alternatives to less familiar or difficult to find ingredients. There was plenty of food. I highly recommend the class!

We had a good time and having only 4 people in the class was a bonus! Catalina was friendly and knowledgeable. The only reason why we gave 4 stars is because it would of been nice to have a recipe to take home to be able to make the dish on our own. I understand a lot of it is taste preference but to have a basic recipe would of be great!

The class was a fun experience to try. My only suggestion would be to have more food available so people can take home some leftovers and to limit the class size so the space isn’t cramped.
