We had an excellent experience at Mirepoix. I've taken many cooking classes and this one stands out…read moreas the most advanced while being educational. The class not only taught you how to make the delicious food, it also went into content on the technique of cooking which I found to be interesting. My only knock was the fact that our food's timing was off so the pork was cold by the time we were able to sit down. This was partially due to class timing and partially due to the way that the class was set up in "teams." My team was very focused on how to do the recipe "by the book" (aka no variance from the demo) which took us longer to get through than that of the recipe cards that were handed out. It was still delicious and an actual recipe I'll recreate in my own kitchen - so 5 stars!

We loved this place, if I could have been able to buy all the cheese I would have done it for sure…read more So many delicious cheese flavors and styles plus other goodies you might need if you want to create your own cheese/Charcuterie board. Also, they have a curated variety of imported and US-made food products. And house tools for cheese lovers (even kits to make cheese). Everyone here is very friendly, and knowledgeable about cheese, and you can tell they care about their clients and community. It is a very cute place, a paradise for cheese lovers like me. Everything is very well organized, and well taking care of and clean. They also have wines, ciders and beers to go there.

I decided to check out their offerings, since I was in the area…read more I never actually made it here when the cheese lady was here and they were open. Never had such luck until now. Glad I ended up going to brunch nearby. Wanted to check out their Gouda and their goat milk offerings. Could use some yummy goat milk cheese after all, right? Decided to try several of their different goat cheese Goudas. I learned that I prefer their harder cheeses, not fond of the soft cheese unless it's in a salad or something. I tried their midnight moon, ballerina, smoke, Beemster and honeybee. I ended up purchasing two 1/4 of each of the harder cheeses (Midnight moon, Beemster and Honey Bee) $46.86. The ballerina and smoked is a softer cheese and doesn't have as much flavor as the midnight moon. The midnight moon has the most defined flavor out of all that I tried today. More expensive than I would have liked, but fantastic that you can try many of them. The female staffer was more knowledgeable about the cheeses than the younger male staffer, he was nice to work with. She was just as nice.

The class itself was really fun, and was a great balance between being very hands on in crafting your own art piece while also being comfortably guided for safety and to make sure you make something that actually looks good so you'll enjoy what you take home. I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience or wanting to try a new art form! Only thing is that it's a fairly pricey experience, so might not plan on being a recurring activity.

I drew a slip for 20% off my purpose but shopping the website got 30% but you just choose the type of item not the one you pick from many. With my reusable shopping bag I got a few visits ago, I got another 5% off. I was also about to put my name in 3 drawings and depending on how much I brought, a free gift. It was hard choosing just a few items. I knew I wanted a snail and when I didn't see the color I wanted an employee went to where they had more and brought out 3 from I choose 1. The eggs was also something I didn't already have 1 from here so I picked 1 that looked cute on all sides. Even though I already had to purple pumpkin ( 1st thing I brought from here), I had to get a different style of pumpkin. I also grabbed a purple slug pin since I have one of those. When I checked out, I was given a slip to go to the free item with purchase and I brought enough to choose anything on the table. One had just the shape and feel of one of the chicks (everything was wrapped in paper so it was a surprise of what you were getting). It feels good to support a local craft business while getting items for your home that makes you smile. I have 8 of their works. Have to rest the Mastercard for a while but I will be back after that especially for their customer Appreciation day.

The dinner itself brings you on a real journey of flavors, and it is one that is never repeated twice. From the first light stop of a variation of bruschetta, that holds creamy textures and the real sweetness only homemade bread can bring, it glides you to a second course. Four to five bite-size appetizers are introduced to your palate in a manner that is akin to meeting new strangers. The variability of seafood, to the freshness of salads with seasonal combinations, to traditional tastes of Northern Italy, and the occasional heartiness of street food. We then move to our next stop, that of the one of the two main courses. Usually, as all stereotypes tend to say, a dish of pasta is served. However, there is a full range that is thoroughly explored. New landscapes of flavors are married, from saffron and blueberry to black garlic and cocoa, and many more. Yes, the traditional side is honored as well, from the chef's own region of Piedmont and its abundances in mountainous recipes and ingredients, alike the winter season that overtakes the North. To even a fully celebrated and homey wild boar ragù Bolognese, spaghetti alla Nerano, or to a pesto Genovese. It lingers on the buds, and it grows with a sense of warmth that provides a blossoming curiosity.

I've been taking handbuilding pottery classes at another space in town but I wanted to try out…read morewheel throwing before committing to a full semester. My hand/eye coordination is not great (which is why I tend to gravitate towards sculpture and more controlled building) but wheel throwing is such an amazing artform I wanted to give it a shot, but I knew if I didn't enjoy it right off the bat that I didn't want to be stuck for weeks doing it. Luckily, Yourist offers a "try it out" wheel throwing session once a month and I was able to sign up for the May session along with my husband, cousin, and aunt. It was so fun to do this experience together with my family and I surprisingly took to the wheel pretty easily. During this session you're given a tutorial on the equipment then a demo with explanation of how to throw your own bowl, including posture, hand positioning, and tips for success. Then you're given three balls of wedged clay and are let loose to practice on your own as they instructors work the room to help you if you're struggling and cheer you on if you're doing well. You're then welcome to keep any three of the bowls you make and they'll fire and glaze them (based on your choice of glaze for each piece) for you for pick up a month later. First piece is $10 with every additional piece $5. I'm proud to say that I made 2 very nice bowls and one bowl that turned into more of a sake cup after I got too ambitious and the top of my bowl collapsed. But they all looked nice in their own way so I decided to keep all three. The glazes they have are really lovely, too, and make any piece, no matter how wonky (like my sad sake cup) look beautiful. I also found I loved the experience so much that for my next class I signed up for a hybrid wheel throwing and handbuilding class so I could get better at both. I also really enjoyed my time at this studio and have bookmarked several classes I'd like to take there in the future, including day workshops focused on specific topics. Once I feel confident enough in my foundational education I hope to also join the community workspace where, for a monthly fee, you have access to their studio to work independently. It's such a welcoming environment, I highly recommend checking it out!

This is a cool little studio. I was actually just stopping in at the convenience store that's in…read morethe same little strip mall and thought I'd stop in to see what Yourist was about. They have a tiny one-room gallery, but it's full of nifty pottery. Some of the items are mostly decorative, but the display also included useful items, like an olive oil/garlic plate, a soap holder, mugs and so on. There were many items for sale under $20 and even several under $10, and this would be a good place to pick up unique gift items for the artsy friend on your Christmas list. The other half of the Yourist building is a studio/art school. They offer classes for beginners and more advanced students, ranging from a beginner's class in throwing pottery on the wheel to a class in learning to glaze and paint the pottery you've already created. In addition to several classes for adults, they offer after-school kids clay classes as well, at pretty reasonable rates.
