5.00Four of us along with another couple had a lesson with Vy this morning. The experience was everything we hoped it would be. Vy included us in every step from going to the market for the ingredients to preparing the food. She was very hospitable and had a great sense of humor. We felt like we were cooking in a friend’s kitchen. …and the food was great. We highly recommend.
Great
