The instructor was: He was crazy and fun.
The atmosphere was: Very nice atmosphere, professional, but warm.
Complexity of the recipes: The chef made the recipes seem easy, but the results were very elegant.
The food was: The mousse especially was very light, yet it had an intense flavor. It was almost an oxymoron.
The skills you learned were: I've never scraped a vanilla bean before, but I have always been unsatisfied with the vanilla flavor. I'm sure this will help.
I enjoyed myself and had fun: I know that this was a relaxed, fun atmosphere, but sometimes the other people in the class were talking to loudly, I couldn't hear the chef.
