The instructor was: I did not expect her to be entertaining, so I was not disappointed. I think she is a good teacher and encouraged people to ask questions. i also thought she did a very good job of handling so many things at the same time.

The atmosphere was: The working space and set up was really nice. People were pleasant.

Complexity of the recipes: I think it is hard when there is a variety of skill level involved. But, I noticed that the chef was more than willing to show knife skills and give as much information regarding the recipes as possible. I think the recipes were okay. But the stew recipe was just not good at all, so that was a disappointment. Thank goodness the chef ADDED the biscuit recipe so that there was something of substance to eat. It would be a sad thing to walk away hungry.

The food was: The soup recipe was good, and the chile recipe okay. A meat chile would have been better. THe stew was really flavorless and boring. The corn bread was tasty. This is probably the only recipe I will reproduce on my own. But I was seriously disappointed that there was NO dessert. And this is the first cooking class I have attended where so LITTLE wine was involved in drinking with the food, or with the lesson.

The skills you learned were: As I mentioned earlier, I was not surprised by the level of the class. There were tidbits that I picked up here and there and that always makes it interesting. I honestly think that the downfall of the class was the recipes and not anything else.

I enjoyed myself and had fun: I enjoy being in the kitchen and cooking and watching those better than myself cook, so it was fine. I think my partner was more disappointed than I was as when I said STEW, he ( and I ) thought MEAT. This was a rather overly expensive class considering the ingredients. Squash, corn, apples, tomatoes, onions, garlic,. There was a LITTLE sausage.

The instructor was: she was sweet, but more than anything very informative. that's what I took the class for. learned soooo much! and after all, that's why I took the class.

The atmosphere was: The "hands on'' is the best way for me to learn,I felt a liitle out of my depth but Jasmine was encouraging. Excellent teacher!!!!

Complexity of the recipes: loved learning about roasting the spices and veggies, why things work the way they do in food prep!!! The processes were easy,yet so glad to know some "secrets" to enriching the taste of seemingly simple foods, which most people assume soups/stews are.

The food was: YUMMMM!
