Hi Laura,

Thanks so much for a fantastic and delicious day on Saturday!! :-)

Excellent excellent excellent!! From start to finish, the private lesson had me excited to prepare delicious and healthy meals. Coming into the class, I knew my way around the kitchen alright and could get through most recipes but this class was invaluable for learning the "How" and "Why" to make a meal really shine.

Shopping together was fantastic and provided a great opportunity for me to ask questions about gluten-free products, differences between brands, and what can be substituted. Navigating around the fruits and vegetables with a food expert is an awesome experience for learning little tricks to make the most of the food you purchase. I thought I knew how to pick a perfectly ripe lime - not so!

One of the things I liked most about this lesson was a kind of Food Whisperer approach to cooking - close your eyes and let the food talk to you! Squeeze a pepper to feel it's weight and ripeness; feel the subtle bend of noodles while they're cooking and listen to how hard the water is boiling.

Cooking gluten-free can seem incredibly intimidating but this lesson proved to me that with a little know-how, I won't even miss the wheat. I also appreciated learning about ways to make the most of my time in the kitchen - cook once, eat twice or more. Wash my veggies once home from the store to minimize prep time. Sharpening knives, the physics of pastry, how to cleanly chop an avacado - the pearls of wisdom go on and on.

Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us and providing such a fun afternoon!

Memories of our trip to Spain flooded back when we ate dinner last night! Thanks, Chef Carlos, for designing such a delicious menu. I will have to get the recipes – or even better have you back to teach us!
