5.00My son (12) and I did this class with our teacher Sinuon, and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Great mix of watching & listening, doing every chopping and frying ourselves, and get help, when stuck or for the final pounding (« more angry!😄 »). Ingredients were excellent, Sinuon the best and kindest teacher, and our results surpised us. We look forward to bringing this cooking experience home to our family! Highly recommend this course!
