BBQ Pork Buns

It was my first cooking class and it was a lot of fun!! Jen is a great teacher and was good to give extra pointers about things!! I would do it again!! Thank you!

Had a good time with Jen. She answered all our questions and was a great teacher. I’ll be making more buns in the future. :)

We had a great time with Jen! Everybody's dinner turned out great, and we were all engaged. 10/10 would do again.

I love cooking classes with Chef Jen! When I first started cooking classes I was afraid of trying to keep up with the Chef. As I did a couple of classes with Chef Jen, I realized she is very conscientious about the progress of her participants. She checks in often and, also, lets us know when to begin or wait til she gets to a certain step for us to begin. She tells us the reasons for waiting to that point and why it is best. Ie., she began her dough and asked us to wait til her dough was ready to proof. One of the reasons was about having us watch so we could learn the techniques for the ingredients which affect the overall outcome of our product. At first I thought waiting would make us behind her time wise, but following her advice was very advantageous. After watching her, and listening to tidbits of her advice, we actually were right on time! Chef Jen has a great reign over the usage of time throughout the class! She utilizes every minute! When the dough is proofing, we did the marinading for the filling; while the filling was marinading, we prepared the sauce! By the time we combined the filling with the sauce, the dough was proofed; and, Voilá! It was time to combine all and bake!!! Chef Jen consistently checks in with each of her participants on progress and for Q&A’s. She explains available substitutes for ingredients and which ones might not be so good. Ie., you can use apple juice instead of cooking wine if you wish to avoid alcohol. And apple juice would give a fruitier kick as well! I never would have thought of that myself because I don’t need to avoid alcohol, but the thought of a fruitier kick is very appealing for me! Chef Jen has many more great qualities! But, for now, I can just say I am Never disappointed in her classes!!! Last but not least, the end result looks just like pictures! I now feel confident I can cook-a-long with Chef Jen!!!
