Melissa was a patient and knowledgeable teacher as she led us through knife skills and taught several cooking methods for mushrooms, greens and tofu. She introduced flavorful sauces & spices.

My problem with it was the portion size for the chicken. The breast was tiny, tiny and the dish was mainly the potatoes. It came with a very delicious red wine reduction sauce and the veggies were very fresh and flavorful. I loved the potatoes, I just wished it was a normal size chicken breast. The cornbread however was a huge piece and it was super delicious. It was the perfect combination of sweet and fluffy without being too dry. I also love the convenience of the delivery so I may order here again. It was just pretty pricey for the portion size, at least for this particular dish.

Chicken wings is on fire love how crispy and it wasn't overly greasy. Every bite was just enough,…read moremost places either give you not enough Ben sauce on it or way too much where it's over powering. Give the wings 5/5. The shrimp banh cot was another 5/5 crispy. Banh with lemon grass chicken is pretty darn good! Since I don't do dark meat often it's not bad. I prefer an all meat but the taste is all there. I give it a 4 out of 5 in terms of flavoring I wish the banh mi was a bit more crispy.
