We made three dishes with pork ribs in this wonderful cooking class.
Simon is very kindly helping us when we needed. With his encouraging, we managed well for all tasks.
Three dishes use three different cooking methods. The result, very delicious three different flavours dishes made from same ingredient, pork ribs. Very amazing.
The class is very informative and great value for money. Strongly recommend to everyone.
