The instructor was: Louisa was proficient and interesting. The atmosphere was: It felt like it took a while for most of the students to relax and participate.

The instructor was: "Entertainment" is not a priority for me for this class. The instructor had a dry sense of humor which I enjoyed. I would not have wanted a comedian as I would have been more focused on the fun than the content. Complexity of the recipes: not appicable The food was: not applicable

Additional comments and observations
The instructor was: she was adorable and very nice The food was: while we didn't cook anything (it was basic knife skills), she did put all of our veggies into a soup at the end...but then added chicken stock! I'm a vegetarian and was really looking forward to the veggie soup. boooo! The skills you learned were: i don't eat meat which means i always have a LOT of veggies to chop/dice for every meal. i'm excited to practice my new skills and hopefully save myself some prep-time.

Complexity of the recipes: Since we were doing hands on knife skills there was no recipe to evaluate. However Louisa did put together a really quick, easy and quite nice vegetable soup from the veggies on which we learned our skills. The skills you learned were: I really learned a lot and am quite happy with my first "real" knife and my new Epicurean non slip cutting board!

The instructor was: Jeremy was great, please tell him thanks for being down to earth and not just a know it all chef. Complexity of the recipes: I probably should have taken another class, I knew almost everything there but it was really nice to have someone critiquing my work and make sure that I'm really doing it right. The food was: No food was offered. The skills you learned were: I use knife skills everyday, so it was great. For the average person (there were a lot of folks there that didn't know any of the techniques) I'm sure it was very helpful I enjoyed myself and had fun: Like I said, I should have taken a more difficult class. Hoping to sign up for cheese making class!

The food was: NA The skills you learned were: I watch a lot of cooking shows so it was so wonderful to see how they actually chop veggies so efficiently and I've already been using my new skills.
