Nearly every accessory and kitchen need is there.

There are a number of stations - olive oil, knife sharpening, coffee - and the staff can assist anywhere. selection: Impressive selection of enameled and cast iron cookware near the front. The olive oil options earn special mention. We needed an ice cream scoop and a flour sifter. Who knew there were dozens of each to choose from? Don't miss the impressive array of knifes. Also thought the wall of syrup and honey was well curated. High marks for charcoal, wood, smokers, grills, and accessories. details: The shop rambles through two or three different rooms.

A fun and delicious activity! We visited Tastebuds Kitchen…read morein State College to participate in one of their adult BYOB cooking classes (we had gift certificates). We had no idea what to expect, but had so much fun we are still talking about our evening! We registered for the Indian cuisine course (Samosas, Tikki Masala, and naan bread) that took place from 6:00-8:00 on a Saturday evening. This is a fun, lighthearted, and more of a social activity than a hard-core cooking lesson, which we enjoyed. Upon entering the establishment, we were very pleased with the bright, colorful, and simplistic decorations/equipment. Everything was very clean and no extra clutter existed, which is what one would want in a food prep area. For this class there were 3 stainless steel tables (4 people per table) set up with stools, parallel to the demonstration area. We were given aprons to wear and introduced to our assigned station and group members (We had the best and most fun people at our table!). After everyone had arrived and introductions completed an overview of the course and food was presented. Efficiency is best to describe this course. While we were watching the demonstration for one component of the meal, the assistants were placing the necessary equipment and supplies to make that component at our table. After the demo of each course/food we returned to our stations and worked as a group to prepare/cook that item. After we completed an item the assistants would take them from the station to hold for later and we returned to the demo area for the next presentation (the assistants would also clean the area during this time). This process repeated for each menu item. I wish I had this type of set up while cooking at home! After the last item is prepared, the assistants bring each table place settings and then serve all the dishes we prepared family style. I loved the family style where we actually were able to sit and enjoy a full meal of all items we prepared throughout the event instead of just tasting pieces along the way. We had a great time and are looking forward to taking additional courses in the future. Yes, the cost is a bit steep $55pp, but for 2+ hours and a full meal etc, I would go again for a date night/group outing.

First off they make the best fresh Mozzarella you can buy. All the cheese is made fresh and if you…read morego into the retail home store they will let you taste anything if you ask. Definitely getting some of the Chesapeake Gouda, it looks fantastic. Also they started doing a beer cheese collaboration with Troegs, can't wait to try these. They do cheese making classes, taste testing parties. They sell to Restaurants and Retailers in all 50 states if I'm not mistaken so you may have had a dish made with their amazing cheese while dinning out and you didn't even know it. A beautiful little hidden gem in Spring Grove, PA that most people don't even know about but should definitely check out. Cheese Lovers dream come true!

I was initially unsure of the "virtual kitchen" concept but, with her help, found it to be perfect. I'd order from Chef Amber again and again. Way to go, Chef!

Javiar is an excellent teacher with explicit instructions and hands on help if needed. After each class we enjoyed the breads, cookies and foods we made and there is always enough to take home so you can share what you baked or cooked with your love ones. I have been making my own breads now since the first sourdough bread class I took at the studio. I enjoyed all the classes so much that I book whatever new ones come up as well as put myself on the wait list for ones I would like to participate in. No one would be disappointed at Vituperio studio, if they like taking hands on cooking classes. What a great place.
