Ratings and Reviews

Good course overall but felt like it could have been structured differently. A lot of the steps were repetitive, and once you learned how to fill and shape the empanadas, the rest were just variations on the theme. Course could have been a little more streamlined, I think.
This course is packed full of great ideas and techniques to create various types of empanadas. The instructor presents everything clearly and provides suggestions and reasons why to do things so the results will be great. Looking forward to trying many of these recipes.
