Awesome Experience!
John_W, September 2026
There are two types of classes, demonstration and hands on. We did the hands on experience and it was phenomenal. Renee was our instructor chef and he made the class very interesting. The hands on class also includes mimosas, Bloody Marys, wine, beer and to go cups ! While not required, drinking was encouraged. We had a lot of fun, learned a lot and enjoyed a very tasty meal that we made ourselves.
