We attended the sushi cooking class with our son (10 years old). We learned a lot about sushi and also rolled super delicious sushi ourselves. There were very valuable tips and my son also received support from the super lovely Sandra. He felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun. The ingredients are all high-quality. The location is very bright, very clean and inviting. We will definitely be back again. The course instructor Esther was very friendly and explained everything interestingly. The time just flew by super fast. Big praise from us and thank you for a great morning.

I took the course together with my partner. We had absolutely no experience making sushi. We spent a wonderful afternoon in a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Everyone could make their own sushi rolls and enjoy them afterwards. The quality of the ingredients was very good. The same applies to the guidance of the very competent and very friendly course instructor. I can highly recommend this course to anyone who likes sushi and wants to try it out for themselves.

It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot! However, the PowerPoint slides were difficult to read and the font was too small. Suggestion: Send it as a PDF by email afterwards, then you can read everything again. The camera aimed at the desk was good, so you could easily understand the steps. Good material, from ingredients to knives.
