The instructor was: Michel is one of my favorite people, having been to five of his classes through "In Good Taste". I think he's fantastic.

The skills you learned were: Making tasty food from local sources with minimal calories and salt is essential to me as I age--so I very much appreciate Michel's secrets.

The instructor was: His stories about chefs, people, places were great fun. He also wanted to explore PDX and drew the group into conversations about our farmers market and restaurants.

The atmosphere was: Fun and relaxed. A nice wind down from a hectic week.

Complexity of the recipes: The recipes were not difficult. He gave me new ways and flavors to prepare foods I use on a regular basis.

The food was: I came out feeling satisfied and not overstuffed.

I enjoyed myself and had fun: Of course---our group was 4 of the 9! He was interested and engaging in our conversations too,

The instructor was: I enjoyed all the little side comments about working at the "Golden Door". . and also learning more about his background and travels.

The atmosphere was: I've always enjoy taking classes at "In Good Taste". . .all the class participants have at least one thing in common and that is: "We Love Good Food"

Complexity of the recipes: The demonstrations and explanations for each recipe was great. . I don't think that I would have any problems reproducing the recipes (unless it might be the pastry. . my down fall). I liked that Chef gave "Suggestions" on what might be added or substituted in some of the recipes.

The food was: I always look forward to a great meal at the classes. . (and I'm never disappointed). . this time I left "satisfied" not "stuffed" as it should be with a "spa cooking" class!

The skills you learned were: I liked the manner in which he sliced the Belgium endive. . baking the tortilla strips and the great presentation of the acorn squash. Not a skill. . but I liked the rice that was served and the fact that we could purchase it and it was helping a needy cause.
