I have the recipes from the class, but I'd like to try making them first before writing about them. However, I will share them all in this document named after the cooking class Gigi's Favourites. Although the cooking class involved doing no cooking, just eating, Gigi was so animated and passionate about food that it didn't matter at all. At the end of the class, I asked if I could have a picture with her to put on my food blog. She agreed and told me to share all of the recipes I learned with everyone because she just wants people to experience the food. What a lady.
