5/5 from Sara Foreman, attended Jul 2024: Great session, lovely teachers and the food was great! I recommend this for a group of friends or for a date!
5/5 from Clara Geneau, attended Feb 2024: I went with my family, we had such a great time. The teachers were really sweet and fun, they really made sure we understood everything we were doing, and explained a bit of cultural elements behind the dish. Everyone in my family is a bit picky when it comes to food but we all loved the dish!
