Daniel and his wife (and children) were very welcoming and encouraging of our efforts to make injera. Daniel was very attentive to each person's needs. It was a very fun class!

I would recommend that people prepare ahead of time, like I did... It helped, as the teaching chef was pretty quick and I found myself behind a little...Overall I enjoyed the experience immensely.
