5.00Came here with family and left very happy! Perla (our instructor) was very nice and kind. We learnt a lot about the specific cooking techniques and the ingredients that went into the dishes as-well. We also had people helping behind the scenes which really improved the overall tidiness and efficiency. The food at the end was so yummy. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend it.

5.00Our family of 5 people aged 17-59 did this class. Perla was our cooking instructor. She has the perfect combination of giving us some information, showing us how and why to use ingredients then letting us do lots of hands-on preparation. The meal was delicious and filled up the hungry 17 teenage boy. Surprise little things along the way too. Very friendly and quite fluent in English. Highly recommend this experience.
:)Nice experience
