"My daughter...looked forward to going to the cooking school EVERY day this week. She was so excited! And the food was good – plus, it got her to try quinoa. A first! Very pleased and loved that they helped my daughter enjoy cooking so much. She asked if she could do this again next week! 🙂" - Julie L.
