This unique main course is made for Rosh Hashanah by Jewish families when they eat honey and other sweets because by this the year will be lucky.

Awesome Class!!

Robin_K, Dec 2023

This cooking class was one of the best we have done so far. We try to do at least one (and a lot of times more) cooking class in every country we visit in Europe. Marti was awesome! This class is full hands on. She doesn’t just show you how to mix, knead, or stir while she does it all. She shows you or tells you how and then you do it. My husband even enjoyed it. The most cooking he does at home is warm things in the microwave. The food we made was delicious. Marti made cooking fun. You can really tell that she loves her job.
