"I had a great experience cooking in my home with Julie and friends. It was great having each of us handle a different recipe, it made the time go by so quickly and efficiently, plus it got us closer to eating... yum!
I also loved being so "hands-on." I feel it is easier learning by doing. I liked the way we all came together around the table to eat and share what we did during our preparations of the recipes.
I also loved learning about the nutritional aspect of the veggies used and how they are good for our health. Plus, all the tidbits of information is helpful too, like the raw onions soaked for a bit takes the bite out of the taste. So many things to learn!
Thank you for such a wonderful cooking experience!"
