Really excellent class- the teacher was very knowledgeable and was able to communicate in both excellent English and Cantonese. The class was perfectly planned- the timings of the bread making matched perfectly and we were all happy we could take home a small sofa bread and then 4 bread rolls. Have already booked to come back! ???? Would 100% recommend!
