I would recommend this course, especially to a beginner moving to intermediate. I like the way Lucia talked about ways to contrast the subject with the backdrops and used concrete examples that we could try ourselves. She explains well how set up these food scenarios and gives you enough information on how to step up your beginner's game in food.
