Many of the meals are truly outstanding. For several months, my family was spending an average of $200 per week and loving the good service and variety of healthy meals. We found that the quality was always good but there was inconsistency in the portion sizes. After a while, this really started to bug me because the meals are not cheap.

He was cheerful. He showed us his tricks, the favorite tools he uses, the shortcuts. And while we practiced, he was very instructive, correcting us (with kindness - no harsh or scary admonishments). We enjoyed ourselves and felt really good that we gave ourselves the gift...
