    Reviewed by Barry K. on 11/2/2015
    The instructor was excellent. She was most knowledgeable about the subject matter and was able to express it in terms that were easy to comprehend. She was patient and entertained all questions from the class. I feel that I have a much improved understanding of the baking process. I am glad that I took this class and would recommend it highly to anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of bread baking.
