Ramen class, woohoo! I have been looking for classes in NY for so long, but haven't had any luck…read more The more professional, formal classes aren't as frequent and they can be a bit intimidating. It never occurred to me to search Yelp but when I found Mamie's class, I was super excited. She offers a lot of services: private chef services, catering, and private cooking lessons for groups or individuals/pairs. Private cooking can be done at her studio or at your house. $400 for a private class, up to two people. Website was easily navigated. For contacting her about our private lesson, her responses were fast. Usually within the same day, or before 24 hours has fully passed. It's a quick process of coordinating schedules, and then you have to put down a 50% deposit via Paypal or Chase quick pay. After that, you're all set! A couple days beforehand, she reaches out again, which is really thoughtful -- sometimes people forget and need a little reminder, but I think it's just nice that she goes that extra step. Love where her studio/home is! Quiet, peaceful area, with a lot of eateries/food places nearby. About a 10-15 minute walk from the train, depending how fast you're hauling. Large building, with doorman/concierge services, and a huge (and I mean HUGE) lobby/waiting area with three cozy leather couches. We arrived early, but I didn't know if she was teaching people before us, so me and my friend just chilled there, talking quietly. It was very relaxing! When we went to her place, we were greeted by Mamie, took off our shoes, and put our stuff down on her couch. The view is amazing, you see the water/bridge, and on a rainy/cloudy day, it looked really peaceful. A nice way to start the class. She gave us her version of an apron, which looked like a cute top you can wear out, haha. What I liked about this class was that it felt informal, like we were learning from a friend or relative (it helped that it was a home kitchen rather than a commercial kitchen). She was patient and we even made conversation as we worked. The entire process of making the dough and then kneading it, to using the Kitchen Aid to make noodles was super fun! But we made a lot of noodles, so we spent a lot of time running them through the machine. I zoned out a bit and got a little tired/antsy. Then she showed us how to boil the eggs. A lot of things were pre-made already, like the pork belly, the broth, and marinated eggs from the day before. It makes sense, because it would be impossible to fit everything within a 3 hour class and get the same quality taste and flavors. And what would everyone do during the downtime?! She did walk us through how to cut the bone out of the pork belly, wrap it up, and how to cook it. Same with the broth, she explained how to do it properly, in terms of pre-cooking the bones and then giving them a good clean, etc. Between her quick instructions and the take home recipe packet, and asking questions, I think we had a good understanding of what to do. In my head, I thought it would be more hands-on or spending more time in the kitchen doing the actual work, but I now understand that wasn't too realistic. The final step was assembling our bowl! That, after actually eating it, was the best part of the class -- my friend had a blast torching the pork belly slices so they were charred and crispy along the edges, but it still melted like butter in your mouth. I thoroughly enjoyed the ramen, because it wasn't as salty as how the restaurants usually make it. I was able to truly taste the unique flavors coming together. She also gave us some noodles and marinated eggs to take home with us. How sweet! She mentioned adding a dumpling class, so who knows, I may take that one as well. So happy I found this class! Thank you, Mamie! Super fun experience!

On January 11, 2024 I had the privilege of attending a special event called Mocktail Workshop. "Who says I need alcohol to make a night cap?" Night Inn Experience brought their expert mixologist to teach my community how to make delicious no-proof drinks that everyone can enjoy. By using fresh herbs, bright fruits and flavored syrups I made a no hangover drink. I had a great time meeting new people and mingling with other people I know in my community. The mixologist was very knowledgeable and provided interesting information about the history of her expertise. She also educated on the history of the tools we used to make our Mocktail as well as techniques. It was fun and very educational. Night Inn provided everything we needed such as the drink ingredients and the mixology tools. They set up and cleaned up afterwards.

Review for Jeff Seligman…read more I have taken classes with chef  Jeff Seligman for ten years. His communication skills are quite strong, able to quickly answer questions about how ingredients affect flavor, able to explain how cooking methods affect the outcome. He has a terrific memory and long on patience, and a strong sense of humor. Over the ten years I've learned the importance of mis en place. I've learned when making the dish appealing in appearance is critical to the outcome. The ten years of classes contained a wide breath of dishes. We were constantly learning and Jeff would help us learn to fix a recipe to improve the outcome. His vast experience was very evident and unique. It made class interesting and desirable to attend.

I was initially lured in by the good Yelp reviews. I liked that I could do everything online, I had a particular vision for what I wanted my birthday cake to look like and they communicated with me via email that could make my vision come true. I had a birthday celebration at a restaurant, which I asked The Evercake to have delivered directly to the restaurant. The delivery was smooth and the restaurant had the cake before I even got there. The cake was very cute and did look like what I had pictured. But...what I majorly disliked was the actual taste of the cake and being misled about what the contents of the cake would be. I selected the strawberry shortcake option for my cake and what I got was not what I thought it would be. I think it's quite normal for a strawberry shortcake to have like...real strawberries in between the layers. My cake didn't really have that, and if it did it was hidden in all the strawberry jam that there instead. I was not a fan of the cake texture too and the cream outside of the cake. Overall I felt so sad that I was feeding this to my friends and I told them that they didn't have to finish it because I wasn't going to either. So embarrassing :( Would you believe that this flop of a cake was nearly $200? And that's after the 10% coupon. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it wasn't completely bad, but the cake not tasting good was the biggest thing for me. I would have preferred it the other way around at least, like if the service was so bad but the cake tasted amazing, but unfortunately that was not the case for me. After digging through the reviews some more, I found that this happened to another customer as well. I wish I had seen their review before ordering a "strawberry" shortcake from here lol dang
