Summary: This is the most amazing cooking class! We went in August just my wife and I and then went back with our 10 year old granddaughter! They spent so much time with us and geared the cooking experience towards our granddaughter which was perfect!! Both of the chefs are wonderful in their own way!! This is a must do and the cook book has so many great recipes!!
