Chef Iliana was extremely knowledgeable, warm, and a fun teacher! Our group had a blast, and I’m so excited to go home and try to make this dish on my own!!!

This was very disappointing, after arriving right before the class begun the owner of the bar saying they were not sure if the class was happening because they have not heard from the chef. Eventually someone comes and has to set up after the event has started. It was not Chef Iliana but her gf who was there to lead the class. After starting late we did not do much, but there was not enough dumpling presses for all of us, so my partner and I did not have the proper material the rest of the class did. After being the first ones to turn in our dumplings we did not get them back until THE ENTIRE CLASS HAD EATEN AND LEFT. Every single person had left the building but us, they did not realize that ours was not cooking. Usually they said they use bamboo steamers but this time was just tin foils and flames, but ours did not work. After the chef showed up covered in glitter from the people she met on the train, even though we were told she was late due to traffic the class had been going on for two hours. She had told us that our dumplings were falling apart and she would have instructed us to make them differently if she was here, but she was not? They are very nice people but it was very unprofessional and not organized at all.
