9 Week Saute Culinary Series II
I searched tediously online to find an affordable culinary school with high-ratings. It took some effort to find the right culinary school with the right offerings that I want to invest in. All the cooking classes in LA offered a short session and DID NOT include a take-home recipe. I did my research, and I found Saute Culinary Academy located in Monrovia. Be prepared to learn many cuisines and learn about different cultures! Meeting the chef and seeing his kitchen was an unforgettable experience. I can't express how impressed I am with this cooking class. THIS IS A SOLD OUT EVENT so I encourage to register early. The classes being offered were small that fits about 12 people. You get a personal time with everyone. Oh, did I mention that you get to bring your own wine in case you're looking to have a glass of wine? And the class is very well-organized and kid-friendly. More importantly, you get to be surrounded by food enthusiasts! Not only I was impressed with the class, Chef Alex has an extraordinary background. He has served a few established restaurants in Pasadena. Oh yeah, he is also an instructor that loves to teach. Thumbs up to this professional chef who opened a culinary school to the public!!! -
Couple's Date Night Dinner #2
This class was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Highly recommend, no matter your cooking level. He teaches the basics and is highly attentive. The staff was incredible, the recipes were delicious, and the class was so much fun. I can't recommend this class enough, and I'm already planning my next one. P.S. Don't forget your wine!! -
