Summary: Myself and two others had the class to ourselves and had a great time. Suresh is very knowledgeable and the class is well thought out, organised, and interactive. We asked lots of questions, including where we can get ela ada, and he explained what it is as well as whipping some up and giving us some! What an amazing experience and a delicious meal at the end, would definitely recommend. 👌
