Through my internet searching, I've found an offering (not Sichuan) at Beijing Cafe in Randolph which seems to be run by the owner. Has anyone out there taken this class or know anything about it?

The space, which was the former home of Kona Gold, is now C&J Cuisine - a restaurant that serves (in my opinion) excellent Chinese and Japanese food.
