Chef Maggie and her team were very good - helpful, funny and kept things moving along. However, the reason for only 4 stars is twofold: 1) There were too many people for the class in my opinion - we had to share a chopping board - at least 2-3 people to one board. 2) This wasn't Chef Maggie's fault, but we blew the fuses at the winery venue which really slowed down the cooking process (I took mine home to cook). It would have been nice to enjoy the fruits of our labor with the other participants. That said, the winery was a fun location and the concept was great - Just needs some tweaking. Thank you to the team though.
