Recent reviews of The Art of the Pescatarian Party Workshop
- 5/5 from Kristine Augustyn, attended Sep 2026: A very fun and informative class. Chef Leslie was funny and nice and had lots of info to share. I learned so much and the meal was delicious. Had a super fun team and we all worked well together! Great class! Also big shout out to Kevin who assists the chefs- super helpful and kind!
- 3/5 from Rhonda Gelfond, attended Sep 2026: The instructor showed us how to do everything all at once. And then we were expected to remember it all. It was very overwhelming. Instead she should have showed us one thing, had us make it and then done the next thing. Also the workstations weren’t set up in advance and it required a lot of back and forth throughout the kitchen. We’ve been to other cooking classes that were better organized.
