The chef was friendly, polite and knowledgeable. He took us through all the steps carefully, and was very helpful. I enjoyed the session.

It was an OK experience. I did learn a couple things, mostly what not to do. The most important lesson was that humidity and/or temperature significantly affects pate choux preventing it from thickening, resulting in runny, unpuffed pastry. So, our eclairs were a catastrophe. Not sure if we will be back.
