I’ve booked Chef Nyjal to teach my Chilean mother’s friend and my Portuguese mother to make pizza. And let me tell you!! Chef Nyjal was teaching 2 brilliant cooks a new cuisine and he absolutely crushed it!! They were astonished with what they have learned from Chef Nyjal. The icing of the cake was how patient he was. What made this class even more fun was the multiple creations they made just by making dough. I would highly recommend booking Chef Nyjal and this class. I definitely see myself booking a class in the near future 😊
