This was our second time back. We loved the class so much with Dylan that we booked the dumpling course too. He is a fabulous, patient and very knowledgeable instructor that makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend these courses. It is a great experience.

I’ve done many many cooking classes - this one of the best. Great instruction, friendly relaxed atmosphere, helpful and extremely informative. Really took the “fear” out of cooking - chef was amazing and I’ve book another cuisine with him. Oh the food was amazing. Thanks so much
