Amanda’s Better Than A Restaurant cooking class series is a group of original cooking classes in Los Angeles developed by Amanda to offer students a chance to try a variety of cuisines. Many cultures are represented such as India, Morocco, Italy, Jamaica and Thailand. All of these classes are hands-on and include a complete meal with wine after the cooking class. The group is comprised of a wide range of students from all backgrounds and ages. My youngest student is nine years old and my eldest eighty so everyone is welcome. The classes are taught in one of two cooking class locations; Culver City at Surfas Restaurant Supply and The Culinary Training Program in Venice. Both locations have plenty of free parking and a 10% discount is offered to students at Surfas. Join a fun and great cooking class Los Angeles.
