Not just your typical guac and tacos - we made Timbal of Ceviche, fish and shrimp marinated in banana Achilles wrapped in banana leaves, and flan with cream cheese and amaretto. She had a wonderful assistant that made the experience perfect for learning and focusing on our techniques taught by chef Coty. If you are on the fence between cooking classes, choose this one!
