Unbelievable Who turns down business?…read moreI called 5 times a day for the last 3 days and left several voicemails. I dragged 4 kids here (half hour drive) to catch someone to help me book a birthday and they say they're in the middle of the class and closed the door on my face. Not closed- slammer. I said I want to talk to someone for a minute they said no we are busy and slammed the door. Is this somewhere I want to spend close to a grand and bloom a parry at??? Absolutely not!

Definitely deserving of 5 stars!…read more My friend and I came a little late, but Chef Liz welcomed us with a big smile. We put on our aprons, washed our hands, and quickly got seated to begin our group lesson on knife sharpening and vegetable chopping. She and Chef Adam even walked around to make sure we were doing everything properly and not cutting our fingers off. What I thought was really neat was that Chef Liz had a mirror on the ceiling to provide an aerial view of what she was doing at her station! The menu was great. We had lemon berry scones, quiches, bell pepper and leek hashbrowns, bread pudding, and an omelette bar! Chefs Liz and Adam were very organized and had each station prepared with all the ingredients. They had all the instruments needed to create a truly delicious brunch feast. I will definitely be back to try one of Chef Liz and Chef Adams classes in the near future!

They came home each day excited to share not only what they made but also the new skills they learned and the friends they made along the way. What really stood out to me was how she meets kids right where they are. It's hands-on, joyful, and full of purpose. Both of my children felt empowered and proud of what they created, and I loved seeing their confidence grow with each class. Ms. Sandra brings so much heart and intention to everything she does. You can tell she genuinely cares about creating a warm, inclusive space where every child feels successful. This isn't just a cooking class--it's a memory-maker, a confidence-builder, and a truly enriching program that I'd recommend to any family.

Todo Verde…read moreserves some of the most delicious vegan dishes that truly leaves you craving for their jackfruit or black bean tacos or their delicious agua frescas. Not only is it delicious but it is also beautifully plated, focusing more on whole foods and seasoning than processed foods that look like a meat protein. During a recent visit to the Ford Theatres, the little shop serves up some of Todo Verde dishes from plant based mac and cheese and salads. If you ever see Todo Verde pop up any where, please give them a try.

I love Sundays because It's my day to venture out and try new places. Living in the LA area is a…read morehuge advantage when you are plant based because we have so many options available to us now. In my search of "Vegan" options near the DTLA area, Todo Verde popped up. I quickly opened up my Instagram to verify this place, as we all do in this day and age. The pictures looked amazing. Buuuuut we all know pictures can be deceiving, especially on these social media platforms. Nevertheless, I decided to head over and check it out for myself. My girlfriend is not plant based but I will say the pictures on Instagram and even those on yelp swayed her in the direction of keeping an open mind and trying it out. I was pleasantly surprised that the address led us to The Smorgasborg in DTLA. I have been wanting to come to this place for years and for some reason or another I opt out of going. Today it was fate, I would be able to treat myself not only to tacos but to a nice dessert as well. First on my list would still be Todo Verde. Another win for me was when i walked up to the booth and seen a 40% off discount simply for using Apple Pay! SCORE! (Unfortunately this is not every weekend). We ordered the Taco Trio plate which offered one Pipian Rojo, one Pipian Verde and one Mole taco. We added one of the Mushrooms tacos to make the sampler complete. Ceviche is my girlfriends weakness so the Palmitas Ceviche was an non negotiable. All the tacos were good but the Pipian Verde was definitely the favorite for us. Ceviche was fresh and zesty just like i like. My girlfriend was impressed and is slowly transitioning to join me on my plant based lifestyle.

I also loved the experience of watching Jesus the owner and his chefs making the 2 big paellas , as my paella pans are smaller and -in my experience-it is really tricky to make them so big. Jesus and his team are also extremely organized and efficient. Their process was well thought out, from how the team kept the paellas warm to how they packed the left overs.

Amy is a culinary and catering goddess. She answered the very first phone call with "How can we…read moremake your event incredible?" And honestly? She meant it. I was completely blown away by the entire experience working with Amy's Culinary Adventures. She made everything feel easy and seamless from start to finish, literally no stress, just reassurance and a complete love for what she does. She didn't just handle the food, she helped me think through the entire event, connecting me with other vendors I needed (liquor, furniture rentals, all of it), which was a total lifesaver. Amy met with me multiple times to walk through her incredibly unique menu options (the brisket sliders, pear & goat cheese delicious things (i can't remember exactly!) and chicken and waffles, omg). Her attention to detail is next level, from the menu selections, to the exact quantities needed, to how the food would be passed and presented. The presentation was beautiful. The taco stand and dessert table were an absolute class act. My friends could not stop talking about how delicious the food was, and equally about how amazing, friendly, professional, and warm her staff is. Amy herself was there the entire evening, running the show and making sure every detail was perfect. You could just feel how much she cares. I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're hosting an event and want zero worries about catering, and want your guests to leave raving, happy, and full, hire Amy. Best decision I made to help make a very special event even more special.

Chef Ronnie came to our house with his assistant Lisa (I think - sorry!) and they were both just awesome. Ronnie is super down-to-earth and totally friendly. My friends and I were super obnoxious and loud and asking ridiculous questions and he seemed to have fun right along with us. Also, and maybe this should have come first, but his food was also absolutely amazing. He worked with my husband for almost two months coming up with a menu that I would love...and I did. Wow. The first course of a salad was amazing and it just got better from there to the pesto pasta, the shrimp dish, the steak and then two desserts! We were absolutely stuffed. He also left the kitchen cleaner than before he got there! I would highly recommend him. Definitely 5 stars!

To start, he created the most amazing charcuterie board with bacon-wrapped dates, fresh fruit, and a wonderful selection of meats and cheeses.

For dessert, he made my favorite: yellow cake with chocolate frosting, made even more spectacular with fresh whipped cream and berries. Beyond the food, Daniel is so personable and fun--he created a warm, relaxed, and entertaining atmosphere throughout the evening. He even cleaned the kitchen afterwards, which was such a thoughtful gesture.

Chef Peter is the real deal. I contacted him to cater our firm's holiday party this year. From…read morefirst contact to the two months leading up to the event, he was responsive and kind. He worked with me on a menu and he delivered my vision. Even with extreme circumstances (another vendor broke our garage door 24 hours before the event) Chef Peter and his crew took it in stride. They were on time and hauled their heavy equipment in and got straight to work. He was basically cooking/grilling on one side of our building (back patio), having to run back forth to the interior kitchen and sink. He and his crew worked SO hard that night. They are very professional. Every plate was perfect, they cleared the tables and made sure everything was spotless when they left. I also hired Jacob the Bartender (he works with Chef Peter) and WOW! Crafted cocktails and excellent service. Every person who was late to my party was sat and had a drink in their hand in less than a few minutes. Jacob was a pleasure to work with. Great bartender. I could not ask for a better duo for the night. Also big thanks to Tomas and Erick - their waitstaff. Amazing night they pulled off. I'm a perfectionist. Type A host. I'm very particular on how I throw my parties and Chef Peter surpassed my expectations & more. My entire firm will not shutup about how amazing the food and service was. The party was a hit and I believe it was because of the food & bar. I will 100% hire this team again for future events.
