This was very much the visit that made me realize I don't especially like Sur La Table's vibe…read more I walked in looking for Le Creuset. They didn't carry much but what they did have was in Cerise and otherwise they heavily leaned Staub. I know Staub is a bit heartier, but it's so unattractive I can't get past how washed out their pink color is. Walking around the store after being greeted, I found it organized a bit oddly, with a minimal Valentines Day section. They didn't have the Stone Lain Stella Porcelain Round Dinner Plates I planned on checking out during my visit but they did have the pink heart plate, which I promptly noped out of when I saw how glitzy it was. The location has limited selection and in my opinion is only worth a drop in if you're in the area and a fan of Sur La Table. Personally I like the Williams Sonoma vibe and style more, so I likely won't be back.

Pretty awesome…read moreto be able to enjoy such a fun, informative and highly rewarding (we did get fresh cheese out of it after all) experience via Zoom. We were provided with our very own cheese-making kit ahead of the class (with immersion thermometer, cheesecloth and straining basket included) and super detailed instructions to replicate the recipe at home in just 10 minutes. Worth to note that the cheese culture packet that came with our kit was enough to culture an additional 3 quarts of milk beyond the one we prepped, too. Nicole was lovely - she answered all our questions, and gave us pro cheese seasoning/paring and gifting tips. Would highly recommend, especially for large-group/team bonding events. Looks like everyone will be getting fresh cheese this Christmas :-)

I cannot praise Nicole more for her amazing cheese making classes! Our company did an outing here…read moreto make Burrata, Mozzarella, and Goat Cheese and had a blast. Nicole makes sure to explain everything thoroughly, including the history of each cheese. Makes everything super interesting. We also included a grazing board and they were all so delicious. We were eating, making cheese, and having fun the entire time. Parking is a bit difficult so we just did ride share there. The place is a bit hard to find but it's a office room inside a parking gate. I am definitely go back with friends and family the next chance i get. I hope this place doesn't get too famous so Nicole still has time left for us! haha Thank you for everything Nicole!!

I will definitely attempt to make these dishes on my own in the future.

I wasn't expecting to change the way we eat at home entirely. Emily's perspective on food and her ability to simplify the art of cooking is unique and tremendously helpful. Her meal planning formula was without a doubt, what changed our relationship to food the most. It has made a world of a difference in the way we eat throughout the busy week (cooking more often than eating out) and in shortening our weekly grocery store trip. Best of all, my husband and I look forward to cooking together!

Each instructor has their own style and way of teaching their craft which lends to the fun, and they clearly have a passion for cooking or baking. The focus was very hands on, which I loved; so often in cooking classes you are separated and given a "task" so you may miss something you have not done before. Not here, everyone gets to experience each process and that makes it so much more meaningful. I also came away with very specific knowledge I could actually use. Highly recommend to amp up your kitchen game or gift to that special someone.

Dessert - Persimmon Babingka - again i do not eat persimmon but the way this was prepared, I wish they were closer to Los Angeles because I would order all the different Babingkas they make.

We did family style and the menu included: 2 Appetizers - Lumpia Shanghai and Palabok Deviled Eggs 1 Salad - Ginger Noodle Salad 2 Sides - Coconut ginger turmeric rice and roasted veggies 2 Mains - Salmon and Lechon Sisig 1 Dessert - Haupia Ube Pie The food was really good, and presentation was beautiful. I debated to get a cake but told myself not to. The Haupia Ube pie alone was perfect. I was supposed to pick up pizzas for the little kids but I didn't have time. I was worried about what my kids would eat, but surprisingly, my picky 5 year old and 3 year old ate the food and Ioved it. I had so many things to worry about, but I did not have to worry about the food. I thought about adding more food, but I didn't and I didn't need to. I didn't have to worry about replenishing the food because their team took care of it. I provided some platters and serving utensils because we have them, and they cleaned it all up. They packed up the left overs in my tupperware, and to-go tupperware for the guests. At the end of the night, my kitchen was clean. It was a huge relief to end the night with a clean kitchen. Also, I was amazed that we only had 1 trash bag at the end of the night, and I attribute it to having a set menu and no party tray food. Everything about the experience was 5 star! The food was great. The team is wonderful. No clean up!! I would totally do this again with them (and I'll order extra to have left overs =)).

Everything was fine until checkout with Laura…read more My last name is Latin, I'm a Latin man. I came in, found what I was looking for and went to pay for my things. Upon paying I was asked if I wanted to sign up for some rewards program, I said sure. Upon telling her my full name, she kept mispronunciation my last name even after I corrected her. Laura is also a latin woman which is why I was taken aback at the fact that I kept reminding her that a J is pronounced like an H. The interaction felt dismissive and unnecessarily uncomfortable, almost like telling someone "yes the sky is blue, and them saying " got it, so red, right?" Overall, this was an entirely avoidable moment that appeared intentional, as my clear and repeated corrections were acknowledged but not applied.
