    We took a cooking class here and it was unexpected surprise, in the best way possible. My boyfriend…read moreand I don't love to cook, and we always said if we ever took a cooking class, we wanted it to be something we might actually replicate at home. We chose Loretta Paganini School of Cooking because of Loretta's outstanding culinary reputation, but also because of their wide variety of class offerings. When we saw the breakfast class for crepes, waffles, and pancakes, the choice was easy. This isn't something obscure and is easily replicated at home. The Loretta Paganini School of Cooking is located in a snug and cozy older house. They have a small shop of chef-driven cooking supplies and one main room for cooking classes. The main room is smaller and I imagine can fit 10 people. This was my first cooking class ever and I loved the slanted mirrors on the ceiling to see instructions more clearly. Chef Loretta is SO talented that its probably easy to forget we're just simpletons, but she was able to laugh off the mistakes we made as true beginners. We had no idea what to expect prep wise, but everyone in the class was given different duties for the dish (so you yourself were never making it all). We ate the food as we went along and chatted techniques. Her assistants were great about providing water, coffee and general assistance when Chef was busy helping others. This was a fun experience and we would 100% return!

    We took a sparkling holiday brunch cooking class at the Loretta Paganini school of cooking and had…read morea wonderful time. Loretta herself taught the class and gave us a number of tips on how to be successful in the kitchen. The brunch menu featured a variety of different recipes including frittatas, homemade sausage, a potato and sweet potato hash, pancakes with a bourbon syrup, cinnamon buns and much more! It was really a fun activity!! Loretta is so lovely and enthusiastic!

    It feels like a locals-only sin that it has taken me this long to finally go to Edwins. Despite…read moreknowing about it since I moved back into town 5 years ago, we just never quite got around to actually going. My mom and grandmother were in town for my birthday and it was finally the right opportunity for a celebratory meal at Edwins. We dined in the brasserie, where the menu is classic French bistro cuisine and the service is accurate and attentive. Across our party of four, we sampled from across the menu: the shrimp cocktail, soup du jour (potato leek), and mixed green salad were soon followed by steak frites, roasted salmon, and shrimp scampi. Everything we had was well-executed and flavorful. We followed with dessert, splitting a creme brulee and bananas foster across the table. To accompany the meal, each of us got a glass of wine or cocktail. I was pleased to see the retro revival cocktails - you don't see a Japanese Slipper on too many menus, and I found it well balanced and refreshing. What a wonderful experience, and serving a wonderful mission.

    This was a great experience. I learned about the business and program while attending a conference…read more Some of us decided to visit. We were able to valet our car. We had a reservation so were seated immediately. I got the chicken paillard and creme brulee. The food was a good portion and taste overall. I appreciate our serving giving me insight to the menu prior to me ordering. We learned more about the organization and businesses. I also saw the cigar bar which was nice. I would love to come back when in town.

    My wife and I were gifted this culinary experience from a friend. When we decided on a day, Chef…read moreWells emailed selections to choose from. We chose one and then waited not knowing what to expect. Chef Wells showed up exactly on time and prepared us exactly the meal we chose. I have to say it was probably one of the best meals I've ever had. Everything was wonderful. Everything needed he brought, including fresh flowers, and fancy bottled water. He cleaned up everything before he left. Then sat and chatted with us for a while. Normally, we don't leave reviews but Chef Wells is to be commended.

    Chef Eric Wells, the mastermind behind Skye LaRae's (lovingly named after his daughter), has so…read moremany fun things going on in Cleveland! He curates must experience culinary adventures in the city. Some of the things that he offers in the city: in-home couples' dinners, cooking classes (mostly at Cornucopia), and cooking demos at the Fairfax Market. I joined his cooking demo at the Fairfax Market and Old Stone Church. I LOVED the experience and the food! The food looked so easy to make (haven't tried to reproduce it at home yet) and tasted delicious! To be very honest, I hate cooking (but love eating), but even for me these recipes looked easy to replicate at home! Fairfax Market Experience: Fairfax Market (Meijer) hosts free lunchtime monthly appearances from Chef Wells (sign up on Eventbrite). He does quick demo, shares the recipe, and then you can shop at Meijer for the ingredients (with the provided coupon). Ingredients looked very clean and easy to find. I participated in Tomato Bisque demo, it was so tasty! I'm not even tomato bisque fan, but this tomato soup was flavorful, non-acidic, and a perfect treat for fall. Oh, and the homemade croutons were easily the best I have ever tasted. Old Stone Church: Chef Wells led a one-time cooking demo at Old Stone Church (priced at $23.18). Tomato Bisque was so delicious that I immediately enrolled into the class. The series benefits Old Stone Church's scholarship programs and features a different chef every few months. Chef Wells prepared Moroccan Chicken Thighs with Jeweled Basmanti Rice. Candied orange, apricots, sun kissed raisins elevated this meal. The cooking demo was filled with stories, humor and good food. Beyond: Chef Wells offers cooking courses at Cornucopia. During the cooking class the participants are split up into groups of 4, and compete for the best dish. Cooking themes include various international cuisines, seafood, meat, and more. While I haven't been to any of these courses, they look fun in terms of exploring global cuisines. All workshop participants at the events I have attended rave about these classes! Chef Wells mentioned that you get plenty of food during the class. Chef also mentioned that he hosts in-home workshops for couples or groups. His team brings the restaurant experience to homes including dinner cooked on site and full cleanup. The experience is meant to be engaging with the staff. He also published an entire book about recipes for two. Cuisines vary based on preferences and multiple menus can be provided. Gift certificates are available, which seems like a great gift option. What's most exciting about Chef Wells is that he also teaches the kids global knowledge. He hosts events where the kids have to read up on certain cultures and then taste them. It's such a great way to get kids to develop a global mind and interest in other cultures. I look forward to attending other community experiences by Chef Wells. I will eventually make it to cooking classes. There are so many cuisines being highlighted that I'd love to experience (more eat than cook!)

    Grazie Mario per un altro pasto fantastico!…read more This is my second time dining in Mario's "Penthouse". This is an open kitchen dining room where Mario hosts a private dining experience. He also offers cooking classes and leads tours to Italy. For our antipasti we enjoyed a cheese board with figs, then some mixed bruschette, and a small plate of grilled sausage and breaded cauliflower. On to our primo: homemade fettuccine in light vodka sauce. For our secondo: my wife had cioppino and I had lamb chops with rosemary and grilled vegetables. For our dolci: fresh fruit and a blueberry mascarpone torta. Mario has no liquor license and so we brought a Prosecco and a bottle of white and also a bottle of red. Like in Italy, we dined for hours and enjoyed the company of our friends and Mario. Grazie mille!

It was one of the top 3 dining experiences this ol' guy has experienced in his lifetime. How can you beat a meal where the 230 grams of porcini mushrooms were flown in this morning? Course after course a home run. Subtle flavors, melded and molded together... what a fascinating meal. Mario's interacting with guests is stellar. You will not be disappointed. Looking forward to returning to this special experience, and taking one of Mario's cooking classes.
