Although it was pretty fast paced, my partner and I enjoyed the food preparation and cooking process. Only gripe is with the marketing portion where we were brought to the local market but all we did was a walk. I think an improvement for this activity would be to cater time for the participants to select and pick their own ingredients from a list. I understand that time may be an issue. A plus is that we were also given a cook book to bring back so that we can attempt to recreate the dishes back at home.
