Very interesting course

Really liked the tips for the cookies. The audio is a little bit off and made it hard to watch but the course itself was great

Nice course

I really liked this course, I preferred a few more basic preparations such as the simple brownie before the complex one shown in the videos. Moreover, a video is missing, which can be recovered from the recipe book.
