I am not a cook whatsoever and I took this class on a whim with some friends and I had a great time. Chef Terrance and Lincoln made the class fun and I learned a lot more about how I can improve my cuts (and become a better prep assistant). -

Wine Essentials: Classic World Wine Tour
Very interesting class. I didnt realize cheese pairing would be such a large component. Wish we dug deeper into the process more, discussed different finishes, bouquet compositions, temperatures for serving. Let it be known, I learned a lot! But craved more detail vs how to pair with food etc. -
