The instructor was: Jeremy is a very good teacher. He interacts with each student/group of students well, and is very knowledgeable about his topics. I really learn alot, esp. about technique, He really can teach an old dog new tricks.
The atmosphere was: I just love coming to the store and cooking school.
Complexity of the recipes: for me, the recipes are easy, however I can see where someone with less experience than me may be reluctant to use these recipes. Howeve, when I overheard a student express this, I pointed out that many of these spices should be standard in any spice drawer, and when bought in bulk, they are cheaper tan a can of curry paste, and the flavors are FRESH.
The food was: From this day forward I will make curry HIS way
The skills you learned were: I thought I made a Thai curry with depth of flavor. I stand corrected. Carmelizing the palm sugar instead of letting it melt in the pot showed me a new level of flavor. Again, this is a technique that made such good sense, it was simple and I am mad at myself for not thinking of it.
I enjoyed myself and had fun: If I didn't work the hours I work, I would be is class at LEAST once a week
