This was an excellent class! Exceptional food and outstanding Chef Instructor (Lisa Burgess.)
Run, don’t walk, to sign up for this class, or any class this instructor teaches. I have enjoyed all of the classes I’ve taken at the KCCC, but this class is one of the best. I highly recommend!

Lisa did a great job of sharing information for the education aspect and sharing interesting stories and keeping us entertained! Both valuable aspects required for entertainment value! I've taken a few other classes and this one was by far my favorite. Lisa is a great asset to your organization! Thank you!
