I am not a cook whatsoever and I took this class on a whim with some friends and I had a great time. Chef Terrance and Lincoln made the class fun and I learned a lot more about how I can improve my cuts (and become a better prep assistant). -

I really enjoyed this knife skills 3 class! The instructor was engaging, helpful, and catered the class exactly to the level of the students. There were 12 people total and we were taught how to filet a red snapper and a fluke. Will definitely be taking more classes here, love the facilities and the instructors! -
Wine Essentials: Classic World Wine Tour
Very interesting class. I didnt realize cheese pairing would be such a large component. Wish we dug deeper into the process more, discussed different finishes, bouquet compositions, temperatures for serving. Let it be known, I learned a lot! But craved more detail vs how to pair with food etc.
