Take a professional chef who cooked around the greater Los Angeles area for a dozen years. Mix it with a dash of dancing with verbs as a former restaurant reviewer. Then just for the heck of it, add a splash of merry steel drum music making. There you have it -- Annette Gallardo’s approach has been to capture all the senses for an exemplary hands-on experience.
She just doesn’t sit by the sidelines and delegate; her cooking style and infectious energy are hands-on. And so it makes absolute sense that the South Bay School of Cooking would take a personalized hands-on approach.
“Chef Annette was informative and had great style.”
--Asha Goldweber
Unlike other cooking classes where students just sit around and passively observe, Annette requires that you roll up your sleeves and feel the dough between your fingers or get busy slicing and dicing.
