点评:We left this experience feeling disappointed, and I think it’s important to share our perspective so others are aware. I rated it a 2 (and not 1) because we did, in the end, learn how to cook and enjoyed the meals we prepared.
However, the overall atmosphere was not welcoming. The instructor began the class without waiting for all participants to be ready or offering any help with the aprons. When I asked for an apron for my younger daughter (who was too young to cook, as we had clarified in advance), the request was refused, which made her feel left out.
The lowest point, though, came at the very end. The instructor and staff simply walked out of the building without a word—no goodbye, no thank you, and no acknowledgment of the time we had spent together. It felt abrupt, dismissive, and left us with a bitter impression of the whole experience.
To make matters worse, there was also no refund for the fee charged for my 4-year-old daughter, who was not allowed to participate in any way—not even by wearing an apron.
A cooking class should create warmth and hospitality, and it only takes a small gesture to end things gracefully. Unfortunately, that effort was completely missing here.
翻译:我们离开时感到很失望,我认为分享我们的观点很重要,这样其他人才能理解。我给它打了2分(而不是1分),因为我们最终学会了烹饪,并且很享受我们做的饭菜。
然而,整体氛围并不友好。老师没有等所有学员准备好就开始上课,也没有提供任何关于围裙的帮助。当我为我的小女儿(我们事先已经说明过,她还太小,不能做饭)要围裙时,老师拒绝了,这让她感到被冷落了。
然而,最糟糕的时刻发生在最后。老师和工作人员一句话也没说就离开了教室——没有道别,没有感谢,也没有对我们一起度过的时光表示感谢。这感觉很唐突,很不礼貌,给我们留下了整个经历的痛苦印象。
更糟糕的是,我四岁女儿的学费也没有退还,她甚至不能以任何方式参加,连戴围裙都不行。
烹饪课应该营造温暖热情的氛围,只需一个小小的举动就能优雅地结束。可惜的是,这次的烹饪课完全没有体现这一点。
