Super detailed
This and the stock course (and I can imagine all of Ignacio's courses) are just so good, not only he knows so much, but he enjoys sharing his knowledge and helps you understand giving small tips at all times. So many courses don't go deep into the recipe or leave important details out, this course is really thorough.
