I enjoyed the course, I thought it was very well prepared and taught, I learned a lot about how to put together a ramen dish and I loved eating the results.
We booked a private lesson for eight, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Akemi (instructor) was welcoming, patient and a great teacher. Lots of really interesting background/context to Japanese cuisine; easy to follow guidance, techniques and tips; great ingredients and food; and, excellent follow-up materials on recipes, where to shop, etc. Highly recommended and we will be back for other courses.
The Roll & Roll Sushi course was great fun. The explanations were really clear and we made a variety of sushi, all of which was delicious. Would definitely recommend this course.
