Need a gift for family or friends? Newlyweds or a bridal shower? Christmas or Hanukkah?…read more Crate & Barrel has so many fun choices. From Kitchen Aids to cutting boards. Mugs, plates and low bowls. Comfy couches or patio furniture. Nice to be able to order care packages for the holidays. After buying a really cute dreidel mug for my nephew, I decided to also send mugs to my parents, my kids and a few other special family members. Love the free shipping which was helpful as I sent packages to Florida, Texas, Illinois, New York and Oregon. Which one took the longest to get there? Surprisingly, Florida. Check out their seasonal sale corner. Got some Christmas bowls and the cutest Nordic Bakeware holiday molds. Nordic Bakeware is so much fun for baking breads and cakes. While you are there, pick up something for yourself. Thanks to Connie who helped me order the cutest Craft Indigo Low Bowls and Plates. A gift to start the new year.

If you are ordering a gift for someone and they don't live near you, and you want Crate & Barrel to…read moredeliver it, DON'T buy it from Crate & Barrel. I received an expensive Ooni pizza oven as a gift - the person sending it lives out of state - and Crate & Barrel delivered it. Unfortunately, it does not work with a known manufacturer's defect Ooni wanted me to repair myself after buying a specific tool to do so (that's another story). I went to the Highland Village store today to return it with the idea of the purchaser receiving the money back on their credit card and had the receipt and order number in hand. No-go with Crate & Barrel, as the original purchaser must be there, otherwise it is a gift card for store credit. I wasn't asking for cash, just a simple return. The store manager came over, and he came across as very arrogant and condescending. I didn't take the gift card option, and will wait for two more weeks for the original purchaser to be here for the holidays where we will once again waste even more time doing what Crate & Barrel should have done in the first place.

The only downside is communication, email responses can be slow, and lately it's been harder to get replies that way.

Some of the meals you're cooking are simpler than others. We had a pear arugula salad, bolognese, and olive oil cake on the menu. The chef and her crew were great! They took their time and explained everything to us. For the pasta, we actually made the noodles! Which was really cool! The whole experience was so much fun! You get to eat the food after you're done, but make sure you eat it because you cannot take the leftovers. Everything was yummy! Tip: you can BYOB! We brought our own bottle of wine! They don't charge a corkage fee and have glasses for you. I highly recommend a cooking class! Especially with friends or a date night. It was a lot of fun! We want to do their surf and turf one next.

We had a great experience at the Memorial location of Sur La Table for a dim sum cooking class…read more This was a Christmas gift from me to J. and was on a Sunday a bit after lunch. When we got to the class, it was completely full and we were paired with another couple. Among the 4 of us, we made potstickers filled with shrimp and pork, as well as bbq pork bao buns. Our instructor was great - I enjoyed his humor and he made the class lively! We were greeted with tea to sip on and the ingredients were prepped in advance with small containers of each sauce, veggies, mushrooms, etc. We took turns chopping, or whisking, or using the stand mixer. I learned some useful knife skills as well! It was fun learning how to fold the wonton wrappers as well as the dough for the bao buns. I appreciated the chance to learn multiple delicious recipes and we had a fun group! I would have appreciated more observation of making the bbq pork as that was pre-prepared, and going through the multiple ingredients we used as they were not labeled. That being said, we received recipe booklets so that we can try them on our own. We had a pause midway through the class during which the Sur La Table staff steamed our potstickers and bao buns and we browsed the store with our day-of discount. When we returned, I enjoyed sharing the delicious dim sum! We were pretty full towards the end but learned that we can't take any of the food out of the store due to any risk on the store which was a bummer. Nevertheless our group chowed down and finished our tasty meal! I enjoyed all the instructors and staff at this location and would certainly be open to coming back, though for a special occasion as their classes are on the pricey end.
