We enjoyed our class very much! Chef Li gave us excellent instructions, the food was portioned out appropriately for each couple, and we had lots of room at our cooking station. We sat at a communal table in her lovely home, which made it cozy and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. And, we even got a special treat since it was Valentines Day.
