My friend and I had so much fun at Spring Brunch cooking class. It was the perfect way to spend time together and learn how to cook some delicious food. The entire staff was so friendly and helpful! I will definitely be coming back !! read more

My boyfriend and I attended the Meat & Potatoes "class" here last night. Unfortunately, we did not get what we paid for. We were hoping for a fun date-night, where we could get our hands dirty and learn by doing as I have experienced in other cooking classes in LA. However, we were very disappointed upon arrival when we were told that we wouldn't be cooking, but we'd be watching a cooking demonstration. The demonstration consisted of the chef (who spent a little too much time bragging about his celebrity clients) preparing the food himself as we sat idle and watched for two hours (not three hours as advertised). While this may seem enjoyable for some, this was definitely not what we signed up for nor was it worth the $170. My boyfriend works in restaurants and watches chefs cook on a regular basis- so this was not the treat we hoped it would be. What upset me the most was that I indicated to both the owner and the chef that we were looking for an actual cooking class, but my comments were disregarded and they made no effort to try to engage us throughout the night. I was ready to leave as soon as the chef said we wouldn't be cooking ourselves, but we only stayed because my boyfriend knew how much we spent. The food was only okay. The chef prepared three potato dishes (all good- nothing special), lamb (did not eat, too rare for me), steak (did not eat, too rare for me), and chicken (I did eat, but also think it could have been cooked a bit longer). There was even another woman in the class who also wanted her meat cooked medium and when we asked the chef to cook a few slices a bit longer for us, he completely disregarded our requests saying something like "people who prefer their meat medium or well done are a disgrace." All in all, this was not a class. This was also not what was advertised online. There are several great cooking studios in LA that actually allow you to cook yourself- I'd recommend trying one of those. If it were possible, I would ask for a refund, but the owner herself didn't seem too interested in appeasing her customers even after we expressed our disappointment during the class. While she was very nice to us, nice isn't what we paid for. I wish we were notified that the class would be different before we paid $170 and took time off of work to fit this in. Complete disappointment, I've experienced better. read more

I love BLVD Kitchen! Sharon, the owner, is the greatest- not only is she talented, but she is so warm and friendly. In fact, all the chefs and staff are warm and welcoming. The vibe is upbeat and all the classes are fun and creative. I've taken cooking classes, baking classes, kids' classes with my child, taken part in a "chef's table" dinner with my spouse, and every single class and event has been an amazing experience! I'm a decent home cook, but I've learned tons of information and tips from the chefs that I have incorporated into my own cooking; and I've been inspired to practice more on my own as well. Thanks to Sharon and the team at BLVD! read more

The great recipes and the personal attention to the kids makes this a fun experience. They really learn to cook and bake and every kid gets to be the star for a portion of the class read more

Michal Harris teaches the absolute best kids cooking class around. She teaches the kids fun, delicious recipes that the kids enjoy making both in class and at home. My 6 year old daughter and her friends just can't get enough of this place! read more

Absolutely fabulous. My 14-year-old attended this most recent Teen Master Chef one week camp program at Blvd. Kitchen and LOVED it. This is not the first time she has attended a class at Blvd. Kitchen and each time is more enjoyable and informative. She does have aspirations to become a chef and so, each of these classes brings her closer to her goal. At the end parents were invited to have a lunch of everything the kids had learned to make - and it was overheard that the offerings were considered to be restaurant quality. We took some of the leftovers home and shared them with friends - who also loved everything. On the menu was eggs benedict, spinach fettuccine, caesar salad, watermelon salad, a strawberry layer cake with buttercream frosting (my daughter told me they were instructed to have a strawberry in every bite), and more. Bravo! Count us in for more upcoming classes coming this fall. Can't wait! read more

My new favorite place! My friend who has taken many classes here recommended I check it out. I'm so glad I did. A truly unique and fun place. They have so much to offer and everyone who works there is so kind and helpful. I've taken several cooking classes and sampled some of the amazing fresh and to-go soups they have. The owner Sharon makes amazing baked goods and ships them all over the country for you. A little birdie told me that they are opening a sweet shop soon and I'm very excited because I love candy!! You can also host private events there which I'm considering. read more

We absolutely LOVED our family cooking class. Not only did we learn a lot, we also had a great deal of fun. The ingredients were fresh, the instruction was clear, and everyone in the family (ages 5 to 45) played a role in the ultimate creation. Highly recommended! read more

"Sunday Supper" was a lot of fun from preparing the meal to eating together and sharing good conversation. We were given recipes to follow and there was always a chef available to give tips and answer questions. There were several chefs making sure to clean up after us so that we could focus on preparing the ingredients and cooking. Special dietary requests were accommodated and everyone was easygoing and cooperative. I plan to return in the near future. read more

I can't recommend The BLVD Kitchen enough. There is nothing like it in the Valley or possibly Los Angeles. Everything is supplied. You just show up and enjoy the time learning and laughing with friends old and new. On the way out, you can shop for unique kitchen items at the locally sourced gift shop. Great job Sharon and your amazing chefs! Congratulations! read more

Discovered this place last winter via a birthday party (for adults) - had a blast with a big group, cooking a five-course meal. Wine and fun. When I was looking for a knife skills class this year, I rang up Sharon and was thrilled to discover one was coming. That class was last night and it was terrific. Although I've done classes before, never here, and it was a great experience. JJ was informative and entertaining and she had no problem striking a balance between more experienced cooks and nervous newbies. Picked up a few GREAT tips and thoroughly enjoyed the experience (along with two pals). read more

My favorite new thing to do....I have done 3 classes so far, with another scheduled for next week. Each time I learned so much more than just how to make the meals created in each class. I am learning technique and loving it. I am applying these newly acquired skills and tricks to all kinds of other cooking I do at home. I highly recommend BLVD Kitchen, and look forward to taking many more classes there in the future. Sharon is a dream "host", and Michal and J.J. were wonderful teachers. Can't say enough good things about them all. read more

I just took another class there...Artisan bread with JJ. It was jam packed with wonderful breads and lots of information. She's a wonderful instructor, enthusiastic and cheerful, and extremely knowledgeable. She had so many great tips she shared. she took the fear out of using yeast/starters. She generously gave us rye and sour dough starter to take home, plus lots of the wonderful sour dough rye, mini bagels, an brioche pull apart bread. Nice fun group. I'd definitely come back and recommend. read more

We came here for a large corporate event of almost 30 people and had a blast! The planning was made easy by Sharon, she was super responsive and lovely to work with. The food came out delicious and our company had a great experience working as teams. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun atmosphere and yummy food! read more

I can't thank Sharon, Brian, Darryl and Tina enough for the extraordinary experience we had tonight at BLVD Kitchen. From the warmest and most inviting welcome by owner Sharon, to chef Darryl's most AMAZING and delicious 6 course meal (often made with home-grown vegetables and herbs) matched with extremely special and delectable wines, and finishing with exceptionally mouth-watering desserts! The vegetarian options were some of the best I've ever had, and the presentation was spectacular! This was one of the most special and memorable experiences that our group of best friends have had together, one that we will always remember! I can't say enough good things about it! Extremely talented, kind hearted people who really love to share the art of the kitchen! Thank you so much! read more

Michal and Will's "Cocktails and Appetizers" class was a lot of fun. The drinks were delicious and the appetizers were amazing. Both encouraged the class to participate so it wasn't just sitting around and taking notes. I encourage people to take a class if you are trying to learn something new. read more

Absolutely the best cooking experience that I have been a part of. Chef Darryl was brilliant and informative. Taking us through a five course meal and wine pairings was such a treat. We will definitely be coming back here again. read more

Had an internal work event here last week and let me tell you, I was not expecting it to be that fun! We are a competitive group though, but the staff kept us honest and made sure everyone was getting involved and having a great time. We LOVED this event and highly recommend it for team building events or even get-together's with friends! read more

I went to the Sunday evening dinner. It was a fabulous event. The kitchen is magnificent, the equipment a joy to look at and possibly want for my kitchen, the menu yummy, and most of all, such wonderful company to share the evening with!! Hesitate not if you are thinking about going!! read more

The BLVD kitchen hosted my son's 12th B Day party. The kids made pizza from scratch and decorated cupcakes. The staff took care of everything for us, including taking pictures and sharing the album with me. My son was able to play his playlist in the background and spend a nice evening with his friends cooking and eating. It was a wonderful party with very little effort on our part. They were well prepared, showed the kids a great time, and overall we had a wonderful, positive experience. We came back to the BLVD kitchen because Ethan had such a great experience in their Master Chef summer camp. What a great way to combine a learning experience in the kitchen with a fun birthday celebration. Recommend highly. read more

I am SO excited to have this new place to take cooking classes in my neighborhood! I took Sharon's challah bead making class and it was SUCH a fun afternoon! Sharon was super knowledgable on everything about bread baking, there wasn't a question that didn't get an in-depth answer from her. Above and beyond her sharing her knowledge with us was the absolute joy of learning how to make the perfect challah! The smells in the kitchen while our breads were baking were to die for. The finished product was delicious! We got to take home the finished dough for 6 loaves to make for our families. I can't wait to share my new skill with my family! I've already signed up for my next class; risotto! read more

It's hard to describe in words how GREAT our experience was at BLVD Kitchen was last night! Five girlfriends and I had a special Chef Table dinner with Darryl Wash. Darryl is an exceptional chef who has such a passion and talent for cooking, and for wine collecting and pairing. On top of that, he presented his meals in stunningly beautiful ways. He shared some of his techniques while he prepared the food, which made the experience really informative, as well. We had an incredible six course meal, highlighted with herbs grown from his own garden, and with each course paired with a delicious wine from his own collection. He made sure the vegetarians in the group (me being one) were presented with dishes as tantillizing as those offered to the meat eater. Each course was filled with "oooo"s and "aaaah"s, making it a night we will remember for a long time. Sharon was also amazing, using her vision to create a very unique atmosphere, and Brian and Tina were wonderful. It's hard to describe how deeply gratifying the night was. In addition to the hands-on, educational and fun cooking classes, BLVD Kitchen is filled with delicious treats that we could take home to share with the rest of our families, and beautiful, hand-picked kitchen gifts. Thank you, BLVD Kitchen, for such a fulfilling experience! read more

We just had my daughter's 10th birthday party here. We did the pasta making party. I can't say enough good things about it. All the kids really got into it and were talking about it nonstop afterwards. The staff was super helpful and patient with the kids. They never got frustrated with the amateurs. They just kept it very positive. We got lucky to have Sharon, the owner as one of our chefs. She was such a great teacher! Donna, Dakota and Sharon, the event coordinator also helped and everyone of them was so joyful to the kids. My daughter will remember this experience forever. I'd love to come here again for another party. We learned so much! And, the food tasted phenomenal! read more

We came back and it did not disappoint. My daughter will not go to any other cooking classes except BLVD kitchen. My daughter says that BLVD teaches me and classes she took at other places felt like babysitting with food. read more

Just took a cooking class at BLVD. It was terrific!!!! Loved the teacher/owner Sharon. The class was fun, informative and the recipes were delicious. Great venue and I will definitely go back again. read more

My sister and I had a great time making ice-cream and sorbets with Dr. JJ at BLVD Kitchen. The final product was delicious, and we got some fabulous tips for making smoother, more "scoopable" frozen confections. We also got to taste some of Dr. JJ's experiments, which were fabulous! The biggest problem is that now I'll want to do my own experimenting with flavors and add-ins, which means consuming a lot of ice-cream!! read more

I just attended Chef Michal's fish cooking class and it was fantastic! I've taken a few cooking classes in my time and this was probably the best! First, there were only 5 of us in there so we were able to ask any and all questions - and Chef Michal was so incredibly knowledgeable and personable too! We cooked fish 4 different ways and every single way was delicious and, more importantly, really easy even for a terrible cook like me! I will definitely come back for more classes! read more

My kids loved it. Chef Michael was great. They made soda bread and Shepard pie and shamrock shake then had a feast. It was a great experience my kiddos loved it. read more

What an unbelievable addition to Sherman Oaks! I was seeking a place to host a cooking party for my daughter's 9th birthday and luckily, my mom drove my BLVD Kitchen. Sharon and Jenni helped me put on an unforgettable party. They made sure my daughter and her friends had an incredible morning, baking and decorating cupcakes, decorating boxes in which to take them home, and making a "cupcake cake." Not a detail was left unthought of, the girls had a blast, and mom had a blast being able to relax and enjoy! Highly recommend! read more

Cannot say enough about how much fun the Artisan bread baking class was. JJ definitely got me over my fear of yeast. Sharon was also very charming and helpful throughout the class. I will be back as soon as I figure out which class to take. Another baking class maybe so! I will definitely drop in to buy some soup, cookies or candy from the shop. read more

A wonderful, bright kitchen space that is a great place to learn cooking tips in a relaxed, fun environment. Classes are well organized and fun with simple recipes. Sunday suppers are a must for friends and families to share. Sharon, the owner is so kind and caring she makes learning a breeze for novices and experienced cooks read more

Where do I start? First and foremost, it is quite obvious that Sharon (the owner) and Michel (chef, caterer & instructor) are passionate about cooking and dedicated to sharing their knowledge & skills with a very hands-on experience in super cool professional catering kitchen. I have been taking my 6 year-old granddaughter for "kid-themed" classes, like knife skills learned by cutting melon and fruit for salad, "family pizza nite" where we actually made our own dough, yeast and all, from scratch..another was breakfast (stuffed french toast, biscuits from scratch and "toad in a hole"!)...coming up..."Halloween treats". Except for "family nights" the classes are for kids only. This is a very friendly, non-intimidating amazing experience. I hesitate writing a review because I'm afraid when word gets out how truly special BLVD Kitchen is I'll never get a space in class but it's ok because Sharon and crew work so hard to make this a great experience for everyone that she deserves all the success. The adult classes look incredible also, but I'm having loads of fun watching the kids' classes. Thank you, Sharon....see you soon!! (please excuse typos and run-ons!!) read more

Wonderful cooking classes in the neighborhood! Had a great time in the Indian Cooking Class. Yummy! I highly recommend it. Shopping is fun too. read more

Blvd Kitchen is THE BEST! I took an Artisian Bread class taught by JJ Levenstein, last month and it totally exceed my expectations. Not only did I Iearn to make sourdough, flatbread and bagels, but I learned about the science behind the processes and the ingredients. In addition, the physical space is very inviting. I was so impressed by the class, the space and the owner, I decided to throw my tween son's birthday party there. Sharon and JJ spared no expense and left "no stone unturned!" They created a cooking competition for him and his guests in which they made a delicious meal consisting of fajitas, home-made tortilla, guacamole, fresh salsa, churros, vegetables, beans and rice. All of the boys had a blast! Although I was stuffed when we were through, that didn't stop me from purchasing the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. The owner, Sharon, bakes the most delicious cookies one could imagine. These are only a few of the services and products offered at the Blvd Kitchen and I can not wait to go back for more classes and cookies! read more

Had the best black bean soup today at Boulevard kitchen. The people were so friendly and happy to share their creations with me. Stop in for a bowl of joy. read more

BLVD Kitchen has been such a gift to us. I have enjoyed participating in the Risotto cooking class and the Sunday Night Supper event. All things cooking are in one place. The space is inviting and the food is delicious. Can't wait to attend another class soon. read more

Just attended the challah bread class. Had the BEST time, got to make and indulge in the BEST challah bread EVER... and can't wait to bakes the loaves we got to take home to finish off. My family is going to be very happy with this new skill in my repertoire. I would attend any cooking class given by Sharon, she knows her way around a kitchen better than anyone I've ever met. Truly magic in the kitchen (and she makes it so relaxed and fun, besides imparting her skills upon us.) The classes are intimate and fill up very quickly so be sure and get in early or you'll be out of luck. I'll be a student for life here as long as this place exists... It's a very happy place. read more

Such a fantastic place to have a party! Thanks for a great way to celebrate the holidays! see you again soon :)

I took the Intro to Indian Cooking class with Nishi Lal. We had so much fun, made so many dishes, and everything was incredibly delicious. Actually, I am making 4 of the dishes for dinner tonight! (Chicken curry, Basmati rice with peas and spices, spinach raita, and sauteed cauliflower (we made okra in class) with indian spices. In class, we also made dal (lentils), homemade roti, and a chopped indian style salad. We all got to cook and also watch everyone else making their dishes. There was a lot of walking around and checking it all out, since we were all cooking in the same area. I really enjoyed working with and learning about so many wonderful Indian spices. Nothing was so complicated that we could not do it. All of the dishes were well explained step by step. Highly recommended! read more
