We made paella, and it was absolutely delicious! Learning the techniques, working alongside each other, and then sitting down to enjoy what we created made the entire evening so special. The instructors were engaging, patient, and made the class both fun and informative. From the atmosphere to the organization of the class, everything was seamless. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The space was welcoming, the energy was upbeat, and the overall experience felt elevated yet comfortable. Every detail was simply amazing. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back.

So happy to see a virtual cooking class on the Weekly Savor from Central Market. So easy to invite several of my friends who I met cooking virtually at many, many Yelp cooking events. The free live online class and discussion with Chef and Restaurateur Einat Admony, who is known for her fresh, sophisticated Mediterranean palate, was fabulous. So interesting to learn about Chef Admony's journey and challenges as a chef and then cook along with her using chicken, lemons, herbs, onions and olives in Braised Chicken with Olives and Citrus. She also did a bonus Tahdig recipe. The food turned out amazing!! Chef Admony was one of the first chefs to introduce Israeli cuisine to Americans. I would love to eat at her flagship New York eatery, Balaboosta. She sold her Taim franchise to Chipotle, the Mexican fast-food chain. She has competed on the Food Network's reality television show Chopped and won twice. She is also a comedian and is a great teacher. Her passion really shined during this virtual class. Thanks to Chef and Restaurateur Einat Admony for sharing your wonderful story as a chef and your cooking tips. You are an inspiration. Thanks also Central Market Cooking School for offering this great class virtually. Thanks for the recipe and the recording. Braised Chicken with Olives and Citrus. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put the chicken, olives, onion, preserved lemon, dried limes, lemon slices, oil, honey, salt, cilantro, garlic, turmeric, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix everything thoroughly, making sure the chicken pieces are well coated with the spices and herbs. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side down in a deep baking dish in a single snug layer. Arrange the rest of the mixture over the chicken. Whisk the stock with the orange juice in a measuring cup and pour over the chicken.

In this busy world we live in, I love the simplicity of a one pot dish. I feel like I have made every chicken dish imaginable, until I learned Chef Admony's recipe. The chicken, onion, olives, lemon, limes, and spices all go into one dish. You bake it on 400 degrees for 40 minutes and take it out, flip the chicken skin side up and put it back in for 20 more minutes. Voila! Your dish is done. It is delicious and aromatic! My kitchen smells so good. I also really liked Chef Admony's recipe for a Jasmine rice cake with saffron butter and toppings. A perfectly balanced and tasty meal, that I can make in my kitchen. I really enjoyed listening to Chef Admony talk about the balance between work and kids, that is a real struggle for women everywhere. I have seen Chef Admony on Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay. She is a fierce competitor and knows her flavor profiles. I am kicking myself for not taking pictures, but I was taking careful notes on the cooking procedures and tips to making these dishes successful. I really do miss Yelp's virtual events, but Central Market Cooking Classes really helped fill that niche. Thank you Chef Admony and Central Market Cooking Classes.

Chef Robbie created the most delicious private dinner for my father's birthday a couple of weeks…read moreago, we were blown away! Even though I told him my parents weren't the most adventurous eaters, his dishes were unique takes on classics. My mom loved the second-course salad so much, she recreated it for a dinner she hosted for her friends. Robbie was responsive, timely, and most accommodating. When my parents had to cancel the original weekend due to an illness preventing them from traveling, he was most gracious in allowing us to pick another weekend. It's the little things that go a long way. If you're looking for a high end, custom meal, complete with beautiful dinnerware and a Chef with a great personality, Robbie is your guy. Not sure I'll be able to top this birthday in the future.

I just catered breakfast for a family event with 20 people and spend $442 (including tip/delivery)…read more The food was mediocre and the portions were so small. I ordered "The Convention" breakfast which was "Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Breakfast Potatoes and Buttermilk Biscuits" - it came with literally 20 tiny sausage patties and biscuits total. So one tiny sausage and biscuit per person. I didn't count the bacon but it was a similarly stingy portion. No one had more than two pieces. The eggs were bland. The potatoes were actually good. But overall, it was so embarrassing to have the food show up and it be these tiny trays of hardly any food for over $400. I would have been better off ordering individual dishes for each person from a local restaurant. I thought with the high Yelp and Google reviews I saw, this would be a safe bet! I also ordered a 20 mini pastries for $3.25 each which were like pastries you get at a 7/11. At least if you are overcharging, let the food be good and not like you unwrapped pastries from a Costco haul. Worst of all was the coffee which was watered down and disgusting. Everyone threw theirs out so I just dumped it. What an utter waste of money. Also they only sent 8 cups with the coffee even though the breakfast was for 20. Stingy and bland all around. If you are catering for a small group, please save yourself the trouble and embarrassment and just order takeout from a local restaurant. I wish I took pictures of the spread but I was just too upset. All I took was the coffee which you can tell even from the picture was watery. ***The menu listed the items but didn't say only 1, 1oz piece of bacon per person - that's absolutely absurd for a normal breakfast portion. Who would cater one piece of bacon per person?
