There was tea ready for us to enjoy while cooking. It was very casual and very relaxed which I enjoyed. No measuring and based on the taste. We made Thai food (spring rolls, sweet rice with garlic shrimp, chicken satay, and whiskey sour). Everything came out really good and the team enjoyed it.

I was nervous about signing up for the home cook course, felt vulnerable in a new environment in…read morewhich I had no skills or training in. I can't recommend this beginner course enough. Even after the 1st day my meals at home were suddenly consistent and significantly better. 12 weeks later and I am confidently relaxed in my kitchen. I enjoy the ease that I feel now; from preparing dinner, menu planning, temp control, and little tips you just can't learn on google. Learning in person from Chef Jason and Chef Ben with a group of funny, eager, and caring adults has really shaped how I can give back to my family. This was the common denominator for all the students in our course. We wanted to learn a new skill to share with the ones we care about most, our families. "I haven't made a sh**** meal since day one of this course" - quote from my fiancé Take the leap and invest in yourself and your family plus laughing about it along the way is always a plus.

I took the home cook course in 2023 as sort of a self care thing with a toddler at home. For the…read moreprice, I found this class to be too large and rushed to learn optimally. The instructors were charismatic and knowledgable. Whenever I asked a question they answered the hell out of it. They were incredibly generous with their time and expertise. That said, I often went home unable to connect what I experienced in class with the home environment. I understand they were trying to discourage relying on recipes, but the handout was rarely referenced during class and it seemed not to be the chef's own recipe? As a beginner to many of these dishes, I found it difficult to recreate some of them on my own. A few yrs later I remember certain things like knife skills, seasoning tips, and how friendly the other students were (belated thank you to my table partner who sliced my live lobster's head for me because I was too squeamish)

Those old reviews about not answering the phone, true…read more I have already paid my membership, so I am reviewing the provided service thus far. The advertising on Groupon stated this weekend was a great time to visit Oodles. The website is a mess, if that has been changed, maybe the owner has seen the light. I called, I get a voicemail suggesting I e-mail or text for faster response. People have phone anxiety, no grudges there though I would have preferred to speak to a person. I text asking when we can use our groupon, wondering if we need to book in advance for classes or if they're just on a running basis or something. NO AVAILABILITY UNTIL OCTOBER note: there is nearly a week left in July, we bought the groupon last week I respond to the owner that I feel a bit misled because the Groupon title said "Unlimited classes" but the fine print says "capped at 8 classes" like.... just say 8 classes, don't call that unlimited. But, I am especially upset that we cannot use the tickets at all until October and that there is no indicator of that until you spend time trying to call. (note, it took over an hour to answer the texts during work hours) The response I received is, "You may initiate refund with Groupon. We never advertised this ad with Groupon and already have a ticket open with Groupon as they opened up Unauthorized ad without asking our permission. They have discontinued the ads as of last week." I apologize for my contractors' mistakes, but I don't make the customer work to remedy the mistake; it's poor leadership, bad customer service, and makes me very nervous about what experience my children will have in an environment that is supposed to be safe. It is difficult to find good children's places, so we'll be keeping the groupon and maybe we'll see what it is like and adjust the rating and response if it unsullies the experience thus far.

Not only is their after school program top of the line (especially since they focus on STEAM curriculum), they also host Xbox and art birthday parties which I have attended.

Duck Confit and cassoulet....was my favorite meal at Rick and Diana's restaurant, Black Sheep…read moreBistro. I cried when they closed. Now Rick has created an AMAZING cooking class for up to twelve people. It is really a "hands on" experience that tastes just as good as the restaurant served. I asked a friend who has a bigger kitchen than mine to "host" the event. Each person paid $40 to cover the cost of the class and the cheese and crackers served before the lesson started. Rick is extremely organized and had done all the prep work, i.e. soaking the beans. He got everyone involved, including a man who had never cut up a duck before. We were served duck four different ways, including an appetizer, a salad and the DELICIOUS main course. Each couple got to take home leftovers which were even better the next day. Even more incredible was that Rick and Diana washed all the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen before they left !!!!! This event has been the talk of our group!!!! We plan on having them prepare dinner for us again soon !!!

She made the appetizers, main dishes, sides, and desserts so I didn't have to worry about booking multiple vendors. She even set up a themed tablescape and came up with a pasta cooking experience that was fun and delicious. The food was incredible and the whole office was talking about it after the party! I've also been to an in-home dinner with Kristina as the personal chef and it was equally impressive. The food is hands down amazing and she makes it such a fun experience! She goes above and beyond and does such a nice presentation of the food. You can tell she really loves cooking and sharing it with people. I will absolutely hire her again and I refer her to anyone I can!
