Summary:
Had a great experience, it was only 4 of us in the class so we were able to be more 1-1 with chef. She told us step by step what to do, encouraged us to taste test while we cook, provided all ingredients, had speciality drinks and dessert! The meal was based around conch a native/common meal consumed and for people that couldn’t have it they were able to cook meal vegetarian and was delicious
