    What a fun experience!!…read more I've always wanted to make pasta but ok, how though. lol Francesco walked table to table in the cooking class area and showed us how to prepare the dough, put it into the pasta sheeter and prepare each type of pasta we prefer to make. Naturally, I picked the large triangle one (i had too much (not enough?) wine so I can't recall the name) but it has tasty cheese in it so I busted out the lactose pills later. Well, the experience was fun, jokes and shenanigans galore in our party of 5 as we made the dough, cut and shaped it and in my case, filled it. When we were done, Francesco collected what we made, cooked it for us, added our desired sauce and voila! It arrived at our table in our own private room. The picture uploads are kinda out of order. Wine is first, dough in the bowl, dough in a sheet, dough cut and filled and cooked pesto dish. That wine was delicious btw. I wish I got our servers name so I could give her a shout out.

So at 100% my fault I didnt anticipate how bad parking would be so I arrived pretty late. Everyone was already getting their dough ready when I arrived, and after a while the instructor came over to let us know what to do. He asked if we had ever made pasta, my wife said she had tried but not successfully, the instructor asked what happened she said it just didn't turn out right and the instructor kept trying to figure out where it went wrong. The instructor came off very cold, and the questioning felt more like an interrogation than friendly advice, I could see my wife was getting uncomfortable so I interjected that I had never made pasta. Without looking at me he quietly stated to my wife that she would be in charge of the table and he walked off. I really thought this would be a little more fun, and interactive but for the most part we were kind of left on our own and the instructor came by to give instruction very coldly. Once we finished with our pasta the young lady assisting came out and took our pastas to boil and we sat. The pasta was nothing special, didn't really inspire me to want to try and make some at home. Some bites were hard, like it could've stood a few more minutes in the water. Also both of our dishes had pesto stains on them Overall not as fun as it sounded, instructor left a lot of opportunity on the table to make this more fun. He was very cold with his instruction. The young lady assistant was very friendly.

    San the Cooking guy is a big deal here in San Diego. What was once just a cool little cooking show…read moreon obscure Channel 4 has mushroomed this Canadian transplant-Sam Zien-into an uber-celebrity and "foodie" authority figure. I follow him on Facebook and appreciate that he doesn't Spam his followers like other celebrities are wont to do. Sam the Cooking Guy genuinely appreciate his fans and tells them so! Now all over the airwaves in a Cox Cable commercial, taking over Costco with various book signings, appearing on morning radio shows or doing cooking segments on TV shows-Sam the Cooking Guy is the man! Don't forget his kitschy little cooking show! It's also nice that he is a friendly and unassuming and makes cooking and BBQ-ing look so easy and painless. When you watch his cable channel show, it looks like Sam just opens his frig and throws together whatever is handy. Sam the Cooking Guy DEMYSTIFIES the fine art of cooking. He also does that in the classes he teaches at SD Kitchen & Bath. These "Not-in-the-red" Kitchen Classes feature: * holiday appetizers & drinks- nov. 19 * just things i like- oct. 15 and some other classes that have recently concluded such as BBQ kinda stuff, summer food, birthday menu, and Cinco de Mayo. Rest assured, they all end up selling out because these classes & Special Events are like watching the TV cooking show - but you get to eat and drink everything Sam makes. There's cocktails, tons of food, tons of fun and you'll learn a bunch of important (and unimportant) stuff. Me and my pal are going to take the holiday one to get us into that celebratory end-of-the-year spirit, As Sam likes to say: He is just an everyday guy -(with 12 Emmy's) who has "found a way to make cooking casually understandable. With no fancy equipment and by speaking English instead of 'chef-speak," Sam is a sort of "everyman of television cooking." A 5 STAR YELP Everyman!

    Located in a mall, there is limited parking in the front of the store, but around back is a…read moreseparate lot that gives you plenty of options regardless of the time of day. This location is like the others that I have been to. Clean, airy, bright (plenty of windows letting sunlight in). I have shopped at this location several times, staff is friendly, nice selection of cookware, dishes, glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, mixes, spices, etc. I have taken 2 cooking classes there. Including a class for Steak, Salad, Mousse. It was fun, and informative. Class was a little over 2 hours. We were taught by a renowned chef who walked us through every step in the process. See attached pictures, but in the end, we had a delicious meal prepared by all 4 of us at our station. We also got a discount to use that day on any items we purchased. In addition we were emailed the recipe and ingredient list, and a coupon on a future class. I recommend a class if you have time.

    I've had a wonderful experience with Sur La Table's Cooking Classes and wanted to write this…read morepositive review. I'm glad I found out about the cooking classes when I just happened to be in the store. There was a schedule for that month posted on the back wall near the restrooms. I immediately wanted to take a baking class then ended up taking several classes like Knife Skills, Intro to Sushi, Delicious Dim Sum, Tamale Making just to name a few. When I was inside the store, the staff were always very friendly and helpful. The chefs were consistently amazing to learn from. They were great with walking the class through the steps and answering our questions at the same time. I loved their team approach...having us work in a group or in a pair depending on the capacity in the kitchen. An added bonus was taking the recipes home. I remember a few years back it was nice to sit down as a class, eat together and socialize; but nowadays, I noticed we've been taking our dishes home. I wonder if it recently went back to how it was originally. Anyway, I always had a fun time cooking, learning something new and meeting people. Thank you Sur La Table for contributing to my cooking journey :-)
