I am not a cook whatsoever and I took this class on a whim with some friends and I had a great time. Chef Terrance and Lincoln made the class fun and I learned a lot more about how I can improve my cuts (and become a better prep assistant). -

I really enjoyed this knife skills 3 class! The instructor was engaging, helpful, and catered the class exactly to the level of the students. There were 12 people total and we were taught how to filet a red snapper and a fluke. Will definitely be taking more classes here, love the facilities and the instructors! -
Wine Essentials: Classic World Wine Tour
Very interesting class. I didnt realize cheese pairing would be such a large component. Wish we dug deeper into the process more, discussed different finishes, bouquet compositions, temperatures for serving. Let it be known, I learned a lot! But craved more detail vs how to pair with food etc. -

Knife Skills 1
Our Instructor (Nora I believe) was awesome! I started the class by unpacking my own knives I brought and cut myself, no fault but my own and I ended the class slicing basil like a pro! Seriously, for the first time, I have children in their late 20’s and 30’s, I learned how to properly hold a knife and properly slice veggies, using the blade of the knife versus pressing down with the power of my arm and chopping. The instructor walked around to the different stations providing individualized attention to each student. We made a delicious snack, and had a very productive evening. I highly recommend this class
