I'd arranged with Kathy Douglas, who was SO professional to work with ahead of time. She arrived promptly with everything needed, and got us all to work. She was the perfect coach, and it was great fun. The dinner was DELICOUS, and I can't wait to try the recipes at home. All ingredients were organic and non-GMO. Then, while we ate in the grand dining room, she cleaned everything up and packed it off! Would do this again in a heartbeat - excellent value for money.

Classes sell out fast so you MUST make reservations and be prepared it's gonna be booked out months away. I'm ts well worth the wait! We chose the Cooking with Rum by Chef Andrew. The menus are published on their website along with the recipes. Our menu that night was Shrimp and pineapple wrapped in Bacon, entree was Jerk Chicken with rice and dessert was Hummingbird Cake. Chef Andrew is an excellent instructor and his assistants have everything down to a science. You'll be surprised how organized and fluid everything goes. It's truly amazing. This is a hands-on experience which makes it even more exciting. The experience is top notch. I highly recommend. The location is easy to get to. There is street parking if you can find it; but, there's also $5 public parking right across the street which is nice. They have everything you need right there including lockers for your stuff. COUPLE NOTES.... If you get cold like I do.......BRiNG A JACKET!!!!! My hands were turning white I was so cold. There is a tip container that is mentioned at the end of the class along with a scan pic if you would like to leave a tip so heads up on that. Thank you Cooking @ Millie's and Chef Andrew.

Greatly appreciate that Cooking at the Cottage hosts these amazing classes and the business owner, Linda, is always on site and welcoming participants and also answering questions. Facilities are comfortable, well lit, clean, and great exhaust system to vent air from the cooktop. Chef Bowe is a terrific instructor with the ability to simplify what appears to be a complex dish at first glance. High quality ingredients from locally sourced farms, including Freedom Run for lamb, Fischer Farm for the beef dish, and several others. Easily equivalent to a meal at a high end restaurant and we learned how to replicate this at home. We also received a 10% discount card for 30 days following our program to shop in the merchandise section of the store. The shop has a bazillion things that go on my wish list each time I visit and sometimes it's my secret source to choose gifts for my family and friends who seem to have everything.

What a cool dinning experience as advertised. About 30 folks were seated around the cooking area…read moreor at hightop tables behind the cooking area. We were very pleased to have been seated at the bar, I do not think it would have been as an immersive an experience if we had we been at a table where you could not see the chef as he prepared our 4 course meal. Upon arrival you are seated and given a cocktail menu (not included in the cost of the meal). My hubby had a very strong bourbon and water and I had a cream, liquor, vodka drink that was very tasty, similar to a White Russian. At around 6 pm chef Todd began by telling us his history and passion for cooking inspired by his grandmothers as he prepared our appetizers. I am a bit fuzzy on the details of the ingredients of all the dishes since I fell later that evening, broke my hip and shoulder and spent the next 6 days in the hospital but I'll do my best, keeping in mind all 4 courses were expectional. Appetizer was a baked pear with goat cheese and a crostini with cranberry goat cheese, walnuts and honey drizzle. Second course was a bean soup and corn bread. Main course was pot roast, carrots, potatoes and mushrooms. Mine was super tender and very flavorful. Mu husbands portion had a lot of fat but what he could eat was tasty. And for dessert he served bananas foster bread pudding. We were given a sample of the bread pudding upon arrival to whet our appetites and it sure did. The whole experience was first class; food, service, cocktails, interaction with the chef, owner and wait staff, atmosphere was just plain fun, entertaining and satisfying. We were there about 2 hours. Street parking, comfortable setting and a unique dinning experience. I highly recommend for a special occasion. They offer different menus, prepared by different chefs and other special events. Check the webpage for availability as they sell out and reservations are required, paid in advance.

They bring a passion with them to the expertise they offer you. That's what it's like to step into Ms Audrey's Emporium. The entrance is filled with art projects that invite you to explore within yourself- What do you wish to create? What crafting skill have you been meaning to pick up or grow? What part of you haven't you had a chance to express yet? And then Ms Audrey will ask you what you're interested in making, so she can help you bring it from idea to life! My artistic, seven-year-old daughter and I came to Louisville for spring break and enjoyed spending more than two days with Ms Audrey. We had stopped at the Speed Art Museum on our way into the city. Pro tip: The speed is free on Sundays. My daughter was inspired by some community artwork with mixed media on canvas. We showed a picture of the inspiration to Ms Audrey. She had the perfect materials and know-how to help us create our own masterpiece, inspired by the art we saw at the museum. My daughter did not want to do anything else in the city besides make art with Ms Audrey- we even skipped the children's museum. We learned different techniques for using the materials and I'll definitely be incorporating them as we continue to create at home. Ms Audrey helps you not only bring beauty into the world, but she makes learning a new craft accessible step by step. Her process helps you create while expanding your crafting skills along the way. She offers such a unique experience. As someone who continually strives to bring analog experiences to the younger generations, I fully approve and value the service she brings to the community. Her prices are absolutely affordable for the value and materials she has to offer. If you're considering starting a crafting hobby or working on a specific craft project, go see Ms Audrey.
