Chef Vivian & Michi were so welcoming and helpful through the class. They gave us several different tips for the recipes they taught us and different proteins or veggies that can be utilized. Will definitely be attending another class!!

This was a very fun and informative class! Vivi and Michi were really great to learn from, they made sure we understood what we were doing, the food was delicious, and there was a ton of it! They were so nice, funny, and caring, as well as having a wealth of knowledge about the history of the food and the science behind a lot of it. I highly recommend taking any of their classes and I will hopefully take another one soon!!
