Hi
The AI voice sucks. At several points, it clearly misunderstood the language it was reading. It also made it hard to pay attention. Just hire someone to do the read next time
I like how easy it is and that is step by step
This is a good course to take if you need or want more information working with food.
it’s nice they teach you things you think you know but in reality you don’t know them
