Marcie,

It seems expensive but I though it was worth it. You do get WINE, apron, WINE, hat, More WINE, cookbook and dinner with the excutive staff, a Cocktail party or two, a galley tour with snacking allowed, and you make an entree that is over the top ala Signatures style. I think we had 3 lessons, plus 3 or 4 other things we did and a market/shopping excursion, which we did not get on ours. Plus it was very memorable. A local cooking class (more of a demonstration) here in California that would be equal to each session would be $100.00 or more each and not hands on. I've been taking French Cooking Lessons which include lunch and Wine and they are $125.00 for a 3 hour class with a Michelin rated chef and more people in each class.
