Absolutely could do this again! - We had a great experience. The guide as well as the restaurant host and chef were very friendly. They not only showed us and told us how to prepare the various dishes, but they let us help prepare one of the dishes too!! It was so much fun!! And then we enjoyed eating what we made. It was very delicious!!! We would definitely do this again!!
