Total rip off

Russell_G, Oct 2024

The most memorable part was that this was a lovely house with a decent kitchen. Ruta and her husband were both cordial and good guests to visit, only Ruta works to cook. That is where the good part ends. The lighting was very dark for a cooking space. The menu was not what I expected. The "sample" menu stated chicken liver pate, Cold beet soup, and coffee mouse. We ended up with potato pancakes! I have made these myself for 40+ years as Jewish Latkes, Doukabour Draniki, and Irish Boxty, among other recipies - all very slight variations but all potato pancakes! Also, only on the fine print did they mention NO Wine! Wine was clearly visible in photo from their advertisement. Every cooking class I have attended from Mesaria on Santorini, La Cuisine in Paris, to Rose's Kitchen last year in Hanoi Viet Nam - all had bottomless pour of wine. We did learn to make a desert potato, that is not potato but a chocolate desert recipe with butter and condensed milk. The cold beet soup also was nothing spectacular and it's primary ingredient was store bought marinated beets! Not a lot from scratch which is typically what we hope to learn from world of cuisine and how each culture evolved to eat what they could find or grow. The total cost of ingredients in this class was under 20 Euros, and we paid 85 euros each for this class - $240 Canadian dollars. I did not feel like I learned anything about Lithuanian cooking other than it is much like Polish and Ukrainian. There seemed like something was missing - a unique cheese or a unique use of common ingredients.
