It would be nice to include a list of terminology in the take home packet. For example, the definitions of French terms and other culinary specific terms.
|
What foods, menu items, other culinary classes or tours are you interested in?
While I understand your desire to feature local ingredients, we would also be interested in learning to cook international cuisine, especially popular ethnic food like Thai or South American cuisine for example. This may be a biased opinion because we enjoy eating these styles of food, but definitely something that we would be interested in.

Additional comments and observations
Chef Anthony did a fantastic job teaching the class. We especially enjoyed the technical aspects such as learning about tempering eggs for the creme brulee, the monte de bur for the red wine shallot sauce, and the proper techniques for searing the steaks. Overall it was a great experience and we would definitely take another class in the future. This is our second visit to the Essex and we absolutely love it here.
