Good Techniques and Recipes
The recipes and techniques in this course are good, but the videos do not have any verbal instructions so you have to pay very close attention and be familiar with the recipe book. I'm still giving it four stars because it was very helpful, but i felt that the omission of verbal instructions made it more difficult. would have given it a 6 out of 5 if it had instructions.
