Personable and happy to help! Dylan made sure that everyone felt comfortable and confident with their progress. Vesna Z • May 2023
My husband and I absolutely love this class the teacher was so wonderful showing us all the different ways of making Asian street food though I felt sorry for him because there was only one of him and there was a lot of students for him to go around and help other than that the food was absolutely great we had a wonderful time and I cannot wait until we get back to do the Vietnamese cookie class.
