A family experience rather than a professional school

The kitchen is described as simple and equipped with a two-burner stove. The emphasis is domestic, practical and cultural.

It may suit you if you value personal interaction and participation. If you expect professional facilities or a fixed technical syllabus, consider that distinction.
