Pros: Fun delicious & step by step Cons: no market shopping/digital cookbook

This cooking class was allot of fun! The instructor took allot of photos of us cooking and sent them to us within an hour. The driver who picked us up was great and they provided a cab ride back all included. We did not go to a market as described to shop for ingredients, however, and the cookbook was not preprinted as advertised but a download for us to print. Very relaxed and easy going. Recommended

Keep looking

The itinerary is the same as all the others. Unfortunately, the teacher excluded that part. where we were to shop for ingredients in the market (the draw for me). She didn't show up. We saw other groups in the market with their teacher. The driver dropped us off at a pathetic little market for precisely 5 minutes. Needless to say, we were pissed. The school was charming, but I can't help but thinking that we could have done much better elsewere.

Chef Chang is the Best

Would have given 5 stars but we never received email with the recipes. Maybe he could not read writing. Please send him our email with request for recipes. Apple (Mr. Chang) is an excellent teacher and provides individual instructions dish by dish. We each got to chose four dishes to make and eat. Each of the four categories had four dishes to chose from.
