Daniel was wonderful! He was warm, humorous, and thorough, involving everyone in our family of 11 adults in the process of cooking a delicious meal that we also got to eat. He provided many insights into the process and kept everyone interested in what was going on. I highly recommend him and will share his information with with my well travelled friends
