I was offered the chance to take a class through The Learning Exchange for an Honest review. I have always wanted to take a class from there but never had the time. It was tough to narrow down the choices and time frame for me. There were so many choices to choose from , but I made my choice.
I choose a class on Tamales . I learned a lot of History about the Tamale while I was in the class. The class took place at Le Cordon Bleu. I admit I love to watch Top Chef, and this kitchen where the class took place was just like it.
Class started at 10 am and went to 1pm. I was waived my fee , for doing this review, but they still had to call someone. There was 1 1/2 hours of lecture and demonstration before we were even able to start making the food. There was also some issues with the video camera not working , which made the lecture last a bit longer. During this time , the Chef made some salsa, and the seafood was cooking already.
We made a Seafood Tamales, Chilorio, and Fruit Tamales. I also met a lovely couple who spend time together in these classes. They mentioned the Bread class while we were working on the Tamales. My partner was librarian . There were also some other Chefs around to help while we putting the Tamales together.
The Class did go over time because of the time to steam the Tamales.
Overall I might take a different class through the exchange, maybe a chocolate or Baking class. I would like less lecture and more time to work and prepare the dishes. I loved that I got a new apron. The food got mixed reviews from my kids. The seafood was dish was okay , but I LOVED the Fruit Tamales the best.
That's right I'm going to Giveaway 1 class up to $49 Value.
