  • 5/5 from Mindy Loso, attended Mar 2023: This was our second class with Chelly! We absolutely enjoyed our time with her! She is a great teacher, she lets us enjoy our time and go at our own pace all while still keeping us chatty gals on track! We’re ready to book our third class with her! Oh and the tamales and recipe was great! She made it so simple to follow and we’re left with tasty treats! Honestly would be a great team building or date night class!
