VERY disorganized , too many people booked, chef was spread too thin for teaching, we got the wrong ingredients and then we were scolded for not having the right ones, the spices were premeasured on one paper bowl but not labeled and we were instructed to pull out the tray with certain spices on it. No one knew which were which, we used dough to make dosa and most of the dishes didn’t taste similar to the dish-recipes were available AFTER the class but were not the same recipes we were actually making. At one point we were so lost that I got the recipe to follow, the chef took it right out of my hand and said “that is not what we are using”. He was reading from a separate recipe sheet he had in his hand. He repeat throughout the class that the class was very hard to teach as it was complicated but not sure that helped the situation.

Chef John was great! I think the next class was scheduled too close to ours b/c we had to really rush at the end and we didn't get to enjoy our food b/c we had to eat so fast. I would have preferred to take it home with me or have more time to eat. Kids are slower than grownups and if they are really participating like my granddaughter was, more time should be allowed. Also, no where on the address did it say at - I had to call the 800 number to get that information.
