Not a class for a true beginner
I have "some" knowledge about cooking, so I figured I'd try this course as the difficulty rating wasn't as high. First, there are a lot of good useful information here. The things I thought were challenging were quartering the chicken and making the pil-pil sauce. I didn't make it but instead made a classic chicken stock. As for the chicken quartering, the chef was going too fast.
