The instructor was: Chef Brophy was knowledgeable, had good stories and was able to connect with the people in the class.

The atmosphere was: This seems to depend wholly on the people present. The last class I went to was not very fun because the people were not very fun. At this class, people asked questions and participated -- making the class more interesting.

Complexity of the recipes: They seem easy enough to follow and to duplicate.

The food was: There were some knock-outs, the winter squash puree was silky, the tomatoes with mozzarella and basil were delicious, but there were some disappointments. The mushroom sauce and bisque were overwhelmed by the sherry. The huckleberries in the mousse were the best part -- the mousse itself was fairly bland.

The skills you learned were: Chef Brophy had advice for people who wanted to learn to forage for mushrooms and truffles, as well as for long term food storage to keep the summer bounty available into the winter.

I enjoyed myself and had fun: I would certainly take another class with Chef Brophy.
