I took the pie baking class with Chef Carter and she was wonderful. She said she isn't a baker, but you certainly wouldn't know it. She was patient and kind and skilled.

Chef was funny and knowledgeable, wasn't exactly prepared for the class/recipe. Also admitted that he disliked baking + hadn't baked in a while throughout the class.
