My wife and I attended an Alpine cooking course on September 12, 2015 run by two wonderful gentlemen both named Tobi. Chef Tobi's teaching style is calm, smooth, and effective with a heavy emphasis on core principles that comes only through practiced mastery.

You'll leave amazed that your feeble hands produced food that good.
That said, enrolling in the course was a logistical challenge. All reviews were in German, and I had to pay for the course with a wire transfer which is expensive and inconvenient, so enrolling was a wild gamble as well as a hassle (but still a top 5 event on my long trip).
