Amazing class!! I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to make different flatbreads to incorporate into their lives! Chef Sawsan gave so many great tips about baking! Chef was so thorough and this class allowed for all types of hands on opportunities. Also, got to see all the behind the scenes of the kitchen and how chef's bake on a mass scale! The food tasted amazing, with the best part that it was all vegan! I really loved this experience!!
