It was fun and we learned a fun recipe that seems doable now. But the table was too long and we were not able to see what the instructor was doing. She came around to very briefly check everyone's work but just pretty much said everything was good and we could do whatever shape we wanted. Which would have been fine feedback, if we had even known what the goal shape was. The butter sauce she clearly made that night and it was very delicious, but the marinara (while good) was also clearly from a jar. I thought that we would also be learning about how to make the sauces. The actual kitchen in the venue was barely large enough for the instructor to cook in, so we could not even observe her making the one sauce. The owners of the venue also hovered over the entire class. That was very awkward. They also insisted on music playing, and it was too loud and a grating mix of "top" songs that did not go with the vibe of the event at all.
