This was a fun experience to bring our team together virtually. It was interesting to see everyone in their home kitchens. The recipe was straightforward and easy to follow, and gave me a few ideas to tweak a dish my family already enjoys regularly. My one suggestion would be to give a quick explanation at the beginning of the class, showing everyone what view should be used in Zoom to be able to see the chef clearly. As Chef David was talking, the image of his face was the largest on screen, but he was telling us to watch his hands, and that camera was not showing up at all. When I switched to gallery view, I could find his hands, but the image was tiny. Just a suggestion for the future - I could still follow along and enjoyed the experience! Thank you!

Chef David was great! He was really helpful and patient walking us through preparing our mise en place and showed us some very help tips along the way. He did not rush us at all though, with any of these online classes, it’s helpful to ensure you have everything ready to go in advance. The orange chicken was fantastic as was the cilantro rice. Our whole family loved it and we will definitely make it again. Would love to take another class with Chef David!
