I will admit this is not my first time in a croissant class or making laminated dough. I realize we…read moreare all at different levels of experience. This is a 3-hour class that did not have enough time to allow the croissants to proof - when I saw that I gave up. I was looking forward to enjoying crunchy, buttery, savory and sweet croissants. This was basically how not to finish your croissants at home - don't let them proof enough. If you can't do that in the time frame make the class longer, warm up the kitchen or don't teach it. If the instructor had paid attention - a little skill building on how to roll out dough would have been helpful. Rolling dough and butter for the lamination is a thing - rectangles, smooth, even thickness, not too much flour. Well our group of 4 knew none of that. Yet the instructor just carried on. She did give a great tip to get your butter the right size so you can make your dough fit the butter. But didn't make up for all the work ending in croissants that never rose/proofed before baking. Three hours, 2 -15 min breaks for unproofed ham and cheese and cinnamon rolls. She showed us how to roll out, cut and roll up the classic croissant - one mini and moved on. Honestly class would have been better getting to a classic, well proofed croissant and looked a lot better than the flat squares and cinnamon rolls. Disappointed was looking forward to 144 layers of buttery croissant.

We learned to make 3 different types of pasta, shaping them ourselves based on the instructions given. Then we made a butter and some other ingredient sauce to go over the noodles as well as enough cheese to make a goat jealous. All in all this was a fun class and definitely something we will try again in the future!

They had a cute set up with picnic tables and all the supplies and apron and everything was laid out and easy for you. Think of PaintNite but with cooking. You buy your drinks at the bar and then come back to your table, no server. This place specifically only served beer and wine, and non alcoholic drinks by the can. But the beer was good!! The pasta was fantastic, and so easy to make! Just 2 ingredients! She was a great teacher and you learn 3 different styles of pasta to make. My favorite was the gnocchi. Also, you get to take the recipe home with you so you can make it again later. I would love to do this again, but maybe try a different type of class next time. I know they have sushi and a couple other options! You definitely got to give this a try!!!! So much fun!!

We scheduled adult cooking classes through the website. We were called by our chef the day before…read morenotifying us that the classes were for children and that the booking was a mistake. They offered to reschedule but only during the week when we have work. We asked for a refund and were never contacted by anyone at all. I've called the number listed on the site at least 20 times and left multiple voicemails. I've still not been contacted back. I only got through to a person once, whom told me to send an email to thejoyfullkitchen@gmail.com. I received a response from someone else named Jill informing me she wasn't associated with this company. So it really seems like you just schedule people for the wrong event, charge them 100 bucks and then ignore them into eternity. A complete FAILURE of customer service. I would like my money back and WILL NOT be recommending these classes to anyone. This is ludicrous and I can't tell you how frustrating this is. If you are looking into booking these classes, SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME & FIND SOMETHING ELSE.

She doesn't measure ingredients, adds whatever she (or her audience) wants and throws in all sorts of tips during the session. She encourages everyone to try vegan food (or go vegan) by being passionate and excited, but not preaching. She and her team made every effort to ensure their guests were fed, able to ask questions and had a good time. She said she's opening a restaurant downtown in July--looking forward to that!

Later, we enjoyed a beautiful sashimi platter, shared a couple of specialty rolls, and finished with the strawberry shortcake for dessert. It's hard to pick a favorite because everything we had was fresh, beautifully prepared, and delicious.

However, we were advised to try the Brussels sprouts appetizer, which unfortunately turned out to be the only thing I could taste the rest of the day.

But that's not the restaurant's fault. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant based on the sushi.
