The attention to detail is truly wonderful, everything for our Bride to Be was what she wanted, even had us all trying new foods. We had some girls with allergies and pickier eaters; Brian and Chef Kevin helped so much by paying close attention to our "likes and dislikes". And we added a whiskey bourbon tasting and mimosas for our last day. And waking up to an absolutely clean home was so easy and allowed this Maid of Honor to actually sit and enjoy my time with my friends and the Bride to Be. And at the end of it all, they even went the extra mile to help me pack up all of the leftovers to drive back home. Every penny was worth it. I want all the recipes!

I would hire The Phoenix Palate again and I recommend Alexis without hesitation.

We had a great time at Taz's cooking class learning to make Korean food! To be honest, I'm not a…read morehuge fan of some Korean food - I'm just not used to some of the flavors (kimchi is a little odd to me). I do, however, love Korean BBQ. I was looking for a fun date night and stumbled upon Taz's cooking classes, which all seem to focus on different Asian themes. Mark H. and I have tried repeatedly to cook Thai and Indian curries without any success, so I signed us up for the Korean BBQ night. Little did I know that we would be cooking a Korean BBQ FEAST. We cooked for about 3 hours. Each recipe independently seemed manageable, but who eats a single item at a Korean BBQ? My favorite dishes ended up being the Korean potato salad and, of course, the meat. At the end, we sat together family-style and devoured massive quantities of delicious food that we'd all cooked together. Looking back on the night, there were so many recipes and tips and tricks that there's no way I can keep it all straight. Luckily Taz sent us home with a mini cook book of the recipes we had created! One of the biggest pluses of his course is that he focuses on the ingredients and where to find them - turns out our curries probably weren't going so well since we were getting all our ingredients at Fry's or Safeway. 10/10 will go back again for another night. Can't wait to learn how to cook a good Thai dish!

They did have some cute kitchen items on sale, leftover from Easter and Mother's Day. Separately, I saw a whole section of items with a beautiful orchid design. I ended up getting a large kitchen linen with the orchids on it as a gift. Everything in the store always looks high quality, and I love shopping there!

Dr. Parke takes a holistic approach to medicine to understand the root cause of your problems, rather than simply treating (masking?) the symptoms with pills or surgery. In my personal dealings with her, I found her incredibly smart and thorough. She has an amazing ability to cut through the seemingly unimportant stuff with surgical precision and identify what is really going on. Then she is able to provide a plan for how to resolve the issue. In fact, just recently, my client shared her health problem with me. She noted that she had a serious autoimmune condition and that the "expert" doctors that she saw were rude and just wanted her to take pills that had side effects that were worse than her actual condition. When I described Dr. Parke's services, she began to cry in celebration that there are doctors like Dr. Parke that care for their patients and are looking for real answers. In short, Dr. Parke spends the time to really understand the patient. She is brilliant and truly wants to help find answers. Based on my experiences, I have referred her again and again to my friends, family and even to other health care professionals that feel limited by the remedies that are available under traditional western medicine.
