Informative, enjoyable -- by my favorite Context instructor

Not only did I come away with great recipes along with the insights of a master baker, chef, memoirist, and blogger, I had a very enjoyable time and can't wait to dig into the recipes. David, you're great on your own in the kitchen or as an interviewer! So glad you've invited Romain into the kitchen.

Fun in the kitchen

I have several of David's cookbooks and really enjoyed seeing him at work in the kitchen making very approachable holiday appetizers. Although I don't have many of his spiced liqueurs he's very open to substitutions. I enjoyed the class very much and would like to see more.
