" My favorite meals often aren’t at restaurants. They’re usually home-cooked meals made by someone who shares their love and passion for cooking. Such was the case at my super fun Cooking w/ Granny class. Granny Lumen showed us how to make Filipino classics such as homemade Lumpia, Adobo Chicken, and an Ube dessert. 😋 Meeting new people that share a common love for food made the night even more memorable!"

I love this product! I bought #1 when it first came out and have added all of the language rich series since. I use a fun flashy spinner and timer with the cards and the kids request it offen to work on their language goals. My middle school, upper elementary and my stuttering students enjoy the challenge. Thank for a great product Granny!
