My husband and I took a date night cooking class here with Chef Alex. We had a fantastic time and…read morethe food turned out delicious! We learned how to make NY strip steak, crab cakes with a roasted garlic aioli, roasted asparagus, and chocolate lava cake. We had two other couples in our class, and we were paired up with another couple, which actually turned out to be pretty fun. Then after class they give you an additional 10% off of anything in the store, even sale items. We had a great time and enjoyed doing something different and interactive for our date night. We'll definitely be making these recipes at home now too.

I've always been a fan of this store, their products and their classes. No longer. I purchased a…read moreset of battery operated salt and pepper grinders to replace an older set of theirs that had broken last December. The new set lasted less than three months and one stopped working. I took it back and they swapped it for another model as they no longer carried the original. The other one broke a few weeks ago, and between the two they were used maybe ten times max. The store, the manager, and the website refused to do anything because their storecdid not complete any paperwork on the original exchange. This used to be the place for quality products and Furst class service, obviously no longer.

It's been fascinating to see how so many businesses have offered similar services to kids (& adults) online. And without having to worry about carpooling, sibling schedules etc she's able to squeeze even more into a day than usual. Flavorpot is currently offering virtual cooking classes on Tues and Thurs for just $5. They send ingredients around ahead of time so that you can be well prepared in time for the class. My daughter signed up for the flatbread pizza class this past Tuesday perfectly timed at 5pm so she could make dinner for the family. All info from ingredients to zoom was clear ahead of time. We had a little trouble signing in since the zoom was under my name instead of my daughter's so i suggest changing that ahead of time. This wasn't quite as interactive as the other cooking classes my daughter has been taking virtually (mostly thru outschool). For FlavorPot's class Chef Cristina demonstrated and there was a helper who was fielding questions from chat to make sure all went smoothly. My daughter definitely needed my assistance a few times so it wasn't really a class they can take on their own. After a lot of fun, big mess and we even set off the fire alarm she had flatbread pizza for dinner. She loved it- ate up every last bite with her brothers. It was a little on the burnt side (imo), but they didn't seem to mind She really liked the class and asked if I would sign her up for them twice a week. Twice a week is a lot since it's work for me and a big mess, but we will definitely plan for more in the future.
