Seems like it was her first time teaching this class so it was not that well prepared. People got to take their own filling so some people could take as much tuna as they want and there was not enough for the last few people. At the end I didn't get to try any fish at all in my sushi, I only had cucumber avocado and cream cheese in my sushi. I think it would be better if she portioned the material for everyone. The class was nothing like I expected and I was not doing any better in making sushi than I was before I joined the class. I think it was quite a waste of time and money, good thing I got the class with discounted price but I wish I had selected another class.

A cooking class with no cooking. We all paid to literally just “play with dough”. No eggs, no olive oil bc “it’s too expensive rn”. She was late, the venue was freezing, she forgot tools, and we didn’t even get to do all that was listed. At the very beginning when she said we’re not cooking “your dough today” I thought there would be premade dough to cook and eat, nope, we didn’t even do the sauce!! This whole experience was horrible and the entire time I felt like it was a scam. Everyone who attended should be given refunds for how much was paid to do something anyone could do at home
