    Tony was amazing! Explained well every dish and just really pleasant. Highly recommend.
  • valentina Brugnoli-Brewster

    Loved everything about the class and so did both my kids. Loved the space, open and bright, and the attention to the real ingredients vs processed food. These lessons should be part of the school curriculum as they are very basic skills all kids should be taught. I’ll take my kids again for sure.
