Next, you'll prepare creamy mushroom risotto with arborio rice, garlic, Parmesan cheese, chicken broth and wild mushrooms. Chef Washington will equip you with some key chef skills like how much to stir and exactly when to add the broth.

The food was delicious! Especially enjoyed the breakfast taco. Chef Washington was very professional and explained all the taco that were being prepared. He made the class so fun. I would definitely attend another class.

It was a lovely gift to purchase for my partner to celebrate valentines. Chef was a nice, likeable person. Only thing that raised an eyebrow - we were expecting super fresh ingredients given the cost of the class but some of the veggies were going bad frozen bagged seafood was used and canned preserved condiments like garlic. Expected something but more elected than what we got. Chef also was a bit out of it that day so we didn’t really get a lot of background context about the food, prep style, culture etc - just an assignment of tasks. Food came out good though; the flan was great!
