All types of in person classes taught by this chef
It was good. Lots of dumplings. Prep already done. Good chefs. They should go a little bit slower on the dumpling making.

I enjoyed the class. I think it would have helped if people knew the table was cleaned before started a group of women scoffed when cabbage landed on the table and was added back in.
My husband Mr Resting B face talked about how good it was and ways we could do it at home. Thank you chef James and Chef boss!
