  • Essentials of Indian Cooking

    Anonymous review on 12/7/2019
    First cooking class experience. Overwhelming initially but good experience overall. In retrospect, a 4 hour class where one has to stand the entire time was a bit much after working all day. Maybe bring out the alcohol before 10pm? Next time I would try a earlier class on a weekend.

    Beautiful facility, well organized class. The instructor chef Joe Pace took it over the top integrating tons of useful cooking tips and tools applicable to any cooking, while preparing a fun and flavorful Korean meal. He is fun, skilled and full of personality. Joe is a super patient instructor and you can tell he loves what he does. Looking forward to taking more classes!
