Maria is very engaging, always checking in with the participants. She gives little tips, answered our questions. I really enjoyed her knowledge and enthusiasm!
Excellent class. Very clear explanations and demonstrations. I liked her detailed tips to make the custard tarts the best
I have taken multiple Context Learning classes. This one was the best. Maria is so personable and so knowledgeable. She made us feel like we were good friends. She took us step by step through making the tarts. She a great speaker, no problem understanding her nor with the sound. She also included information on Port wines and a little bit about Portugal. Though my tarts didn’t look as pretty as hers, they were delicious. My husband has already eaten 4 of them. I enjoyed every minute of this class and highly recommend it.
