Well worth the price. Valuable insight into processes. Made me look at my subject from a different angle and has given me new inspiration.
- Richard
It's the whole process and presentation. As he said, “it is not about recipes it is about food”. He transmits more than just facts, information and recipes.
- Simon
Great to see the master back in the saddle. He's a majesty to behold, especially when he's dialled in meaningfully towards refinement. He know's what he's doing. By being an eternal student of the craft. It's frightening.
- BrotherTree
Great. Brilliant. Marco's insights have produced positive feedback from neighbours and family members. I'm not technical. Marco's methods are very helpful.
