LA: Feast and Fiesta
This was such a great cooking class!! It was fun, educational and so yummy!! I wish it lasted longer! It was really well rounded in the sense that we learned about the ingredients we were using, we were taught the correct way to cut a specific vegetables and we experienced cooking our meal. But the best part was enjoying the delicious meal we made together!! Canât wait to come back for another class! ? -

Knife Skills 101
This was such a wonderful investment of time and money. It was a nice, intimate class (only 6 of us students) and the teacher was very informative, patient, and kind with us. I feel like I learned so much in only a span of two hours, and it improved my skills as a home cook so exponentially that I am now excited each time I get to cut or chop ingredients! :). Looking forward to more! -

Knife Skills 101 (Online Learning)
The class was great. The only change I would make is to have all of the recipes sent to us before. Our teacher needed to go quickly so sometimes I missed an amount (I.e. cilantro in the tabbouleh) & didn't want to keep pausing the class to ask. Teaching knife skills through recipes is great. The focus isn't fully on the knife skills, but I loved it. I already have good knife skills, but wanted to make sure I had a solid foundation. I'd totally recommend this class. -
Knife Skills 101 (Online Learning)
When we first began, I wondered if it would be possible to reasonably cover all of the cutting techniques on the agenda, since it seemed like a lot of produce to get through. But Nina allocated ample time, with really great demonstrations, and I was able to follow with no trouble at all. I couldn't believe how much food I had created by the time we were done! This is a great course whether you are a brand new cook, or just want to refine your technique. I learned some things that will make my meal prep time way more efficient moving forward! Highly recommended. -
