My group of 5 had a blast making ramen with Chef Will in Naperville. The recipe was approachable, we used some new tools, and spent time as a family cooking a meal. A lovely way to spend two hours. Tasty too!

It was a fun evening. Chef Monsoor was knowledgeable and helped us becoming more knowledgeable on preparing and cooking the meal. It was a fun experience.
