Fish Cooking School The class was filled with folks learning about cooking some very special recipes from the NC coast. The teacher was a long time chef with stories and special tips on making his recipes. He has owned his restaurant for a long time. Everyone seemed to have a very good time as we ate the really delicious food. I highly recommend Southern Season cooking classes.

DOn't try to do too much Although chef was very well informed, he attempted to do too much. Often had to move among recipes and he was clearly under pressure. Don't know if latter made him impolite to volunteers (only the women) but it seemed unnecessary and not humorous

Review of Joan Nathan cooking class Joan Nathan herself was wonderful. However, the microphones were not properly adjusted for her voice to carry to the back where I was sitting - and I have excellent hearing. I made at least 2 requests for the mikes to be fixed better and nothing was done. Furthermore, the camera operator kept forgetting to focus on the FOOD preparation. I needed to use the screen to watch because of where I was sitting and I often couldn't really see what I needed to. I have taken several cooking courses at SS and this was the most disappointing on a technical and preparation level. Usually, the helpers have everything out - or know where it is - and are tuned in immediately to what the guest chef needs. This was lacking in the Joan Nathan course. These are expensive classes and, even if I am the only one with this kind of review, you should take pains to keep us coming back.

Need more advanced or unique hands-on classes. I have found the last two hands on classes wasteful of time. I will only attend non hands on from now on unless targeted for more advanced cooks. A long lesson in cutting onions, for instance, wasn't a good use of time for someone like me who has attended dozens of culinary classes. Could you offer hands on for more experienced home cooks?

Wonderful Cooking Class with a great guest chef I have taken at least twenty cooking classes at Southern Season Cooking School over the past three years. I have not been disappointed - ever! The three or four course meals the staff and chefs prepare are always so interesting and with the wine parings I feel that it's a wonderful and affordable experience. I have learned many new techniques and tips at the classes. I have been a home cook for over 50 years and have learned, with their help, to think out of the box and try new things. Everyone there is wonderful and I feel very relaxed and welcomed. I'm always looking forward to seeing what guest chefs will be coming each quarter. Keep up the good work!
