Chef Paul was great, detail oriented and answered my questions that had nothing to do with donuts. My nephew and I had a wonderful time. I love the open, bright kitchen and will be back to attend other classes for sure.

Croissant Craft
with Chef Paul
in North Seattle (Moss Bay)
We made chocolate croissants, caramelized leek and Gruyère pastries, and croissant dough. While I had dabbled in this type of baking, I really did not have a proper method. It was fun to learn the science behind the project as well as the details of creating a consistent, professional looking and tasting product. The instructor was knowledgeable, competent, interesting, and very pleasant to work with. Amy’s instructions, demonstrations, and interventions were helpful and done in a way that the teaching objectives were meet while maintaining a good rapport with the class. The process was fun and the finished product was very good. Thanks for a good experience. I will be replicating what I learned very soon.

Moroccan Cuisine - Date Night
with Chef Paul
in North Seattle (Moss Bay)
It was a great class and all the chefs were really sweet, talented, and helpful. The evening class just felt rushed and not like a date despite the class being named that. We were done 30mins earlier than scheduled and I didn't have time to register any of the steps since we were moved along so quickly and at times was more a bit stressed rather than relaxed as I would hope to be on a date night.
