Looks like she's done classes before. Has anyone here taken one? I'd be tempted, except its the same day as Bay to Breakers, and I don't think I will be up for it.

Found it the basic calss to be just that, but none the less helpful. The second or advanced knife skills class was a bit more fun. Both were hands on and enjoyable and got my knives sharpened for free. Wed May 11 16:15:25 -0700 2005 167038 0 Sauro 1 167054 Dr. Biggles of Meathenge fame has often posted on Shuna Lydon's class...

She knows her stuff and the inside the restaurant kitchen stories are fun. And the supreme'ing the citrus - so simple and yet so fun - for days after the class we did it with every piece of citrus we could get our hands on!
