Insightful and fun cooking experience with helpful advice and tips, and tasty meals being served and savoured by everyone. I liked the logical structure and how efficient the class ran, and the induction throughout the session was concise. Suggestions for improvement would be to update the hardcopy recipe provided in class to match the method being shown / taught in class for better clarity and less confusion, and to provide gloves for when cooking at the stove to prevent minor oil splatter burns on the hands. For example, I found it a bit tricky when cooking at the stoves with other people as we tried making space for each other while being careful at the same time to not get burnt. I felt bits of oil splattering from another pan where another peer was cooking right next to me, and I experienced a minor burn on the back of my hand that day.
