Chef Lorena easily invites everyone into her passion for cooking. She’s a consummate teacher, flawlessly inviting each to be part of the process. We were excited about this class, but it exceeded our expectations magnificently. We’re more knowledgeable and appreciative of the culture, the cuisine and the skills to celebrate it.
