I took two, one day (4 hour) classes at the ICC recently with mixed feelings about their value. If you sign up, be aware that you will be very, very busy making the recipes and won't have much time to ask questions. Some of the equipment is in limited supply so you will need to spend time running around trying to find an available whisk for example. Not a good class for newbie cooks, the assumption is that they don't have to teach you how to do basics like break eggs and use a saute pan. I wish they allowed genuine time to just stop and let us ask questions about what we were doing and why but the goal is to make X number of foods and finish in 4 hours. I won't be signing up for any more classes due to the extreme pace and lack of actual information on what we were doing.

I took a Thai cooking class here. First, what a beautiful facility! State of the art kitchen. Great views from our kitchen classroom. Our teacher was outstanding - smart, easy-going approach to recreational cooking, fun. We made a delicious meal, which we enjoyed together. I learned how to put together some tasty dishes. The one problem were some of the other students. Two women talked the entire time and unfortunately were next to me. I couldn’t hear the instructor over their chit chat. One other lady on our team was pushy and wanted to do all the cooking - she ruined two recipes, by not following the recipe. One had to be tossed, one she forgot to add the most important item - the chicken! If you’re not interested in learning, why did you come? Great class, beautiful facility and fun instructor- a few of the other students ruined what could have been a stellar experience for me.
