very expensive for what you get. Dont expect to cook much. You will do part of part of the meal.
pros- marni's plant-based meals are definitely healthy, whole food based and tasty
cons- you will hardly cook in these cooking classes. In the daylong classes you will not cook more than in the evening ones. if the price wasnt high enough she also has people come in and push their merchandise during your paid for time. sometimes they give a small sample, sometimes not even a discount.
In addition when she gets off cooking into " food guru" mode she is not reliable at all. She seems to go off into " magical thinking" without any back up data. For example she says eggs are bad for you but somehow good if you eat the white and yolk separately. ( no explanation for this odd bit of advice) In her book there is disinformation that is dangerous. She says that it is not necessary to take vit D in Canada, which is wrong if you look at all the hard data, She then says if your doctor insists then take 400 IU daily , which is far too little to prevent osteoporosis or other conditions.
Also there are 3 sinks in the kitchen but she wont let anyone wash their hands in any of them before or after handling food. Instead she sends you down two hallways to a little washroom which is not very clean.
So enjoy the food but take the rest with a large grain of salt. She should spend more time letting people actually cook.
