Diocletians Palace - Split

I very informative talk that gave me a realPicture of who Diocletian was - and I was surprised! Rome sounded very lawless during that time and murder was a way of life! And it needed a strong leader - but life was cheap!

Like all Mardi Michels’ classes, this one is action packed with delicious results. Each dish was flavorful and will be stand bys in my menu plan. The instructions are clear, her demonstrations are complete. I appreciate Mardi and Context offering a vegetarian three course meal that will please everyone.

Cooking Class: Menu du Jour – A Three Course Vegetarian French Bistro Meal with Mardi Michels
Excellent teacher!

Mardi is a fantastic teacher. I enjoyed listening to how she makes each dish and how she’s tried different methods and why she uses the one she’s teaching. I also like how low-key she is and a very nice person. I’d take a class from her anytime and feel more confident in the kitchen. Plus I loved her accent!

Megalithic Sites in Sicily: Unknown Wonders with Valentina Molozzu
Great introduction to rock gardens

As Dr. Campbell indicates, these Japanese rock gardens can be found throughout the world, so this helpful introduction is useful even for those not planning to travel to Japan. Presentation nicely balanced between religion, philosophy, and aesthetics. The modern examples were striking and unexpected.

Most Impressive Presentations

Within three sessions, Laurent Bonneval presented an outstanding survey of French history covering 1,400 years.
