The instructor and staff were excellent. However I did not enjoy the non traditional tamales. Nor did I receive the recipes. I at least wanted the masa recipe.

Booked the class Refined Italian Classics for Beginners with Chef Donna in Carlsbad
We cooked Tuscan garlic shrimp and cannoli from scratch. The chef's were great, everybody had fun, and the food turned out awesome.

Booked the class Pastries for Fall with Chef Donna in Carlsbad
This was a great class. 6 students learned 3 different pastry bakes. So many unknown baking lessons. Mary, the chef, was wonderful. She made us feel so comfortable and welcome. I would definitely take another class from her.
