San the Cooking guy is a big deal here in San Diego. What was once just a cool little cooking show…read moreon obscure Channel 4 has mushroomed this Canadian transplant-Sam Zien-into an uber-celebrity and "foodie" authority figure. I follow him on Facebook and appreciate that he doesn't Spam his followers like other celebrities are wont to do. Sam the Cooking Guy genuinely appreciate his fans and tells them so! Now all over the airwaves in a Cox Cable commercial, taking over Costco with various book signings, appearing on morning radio shows or doing cooking segments on TV shows-Sam the Cooking Guy is the man! Don't forget his kitschy little cooking show! It's also nice that he is a friendly and unassuming and makes cooking and BBQ-ing look so easy and painless. When you watch his cable channel show, it looks like Sam just opens his frig and throws together whatever is handy. Sam the Cooking Guy DEMYSTIFIES the fine art of cooking. He also does that in the classes he teaches at SD Kitchen & Bath. These "Not-in-the-red" Kitchen Classes feature: * holiday appetizers & drinks- nov. 19 * just things i like- oct. 15 and some other classes that have recently concluded such as BBQ kinda stuff, summer food, birthday menu, and Cinco de Mayo. Rest assured, they all end up selling out because these classes & Special Events are like watching the TV cooking show - but you get to eat and drink everything Sam makes. There's cocktails, tons of food, tons of fun and you'll learn a bunch of important (and unimportant) stuff. Me and my pal are going to take the holiday one to get us into that celebratory end-of-the-year spirit, As Sam likes to say: He is just an everyday guy -(with 12 Emmy's) who has "found a way to make cooking casually understandable. With no fancy equipment and by speaking English instead of 'chef-speak," Sam is a sort of "everyman of television cooking." A 5 STAR YELP Everyman!

Such a fun date night! My husband and I decided to attend Cooking with Love and I'm so glad we did!…read moreWe both really enjoyed the class and learned a few things! Both the instructors were very helpful, sweet oh and patient ( I could not for the life of me perfect my dumpling pinching!) My husband hasn't cooked anything in his life but eggs and top ramen so watching him knead out dough and be hands on was entertaining. The whole set up and ambience was so cute and relaxed.

Walking in, the set up was so warm and welcoming as if you didn't leave your own home. Little did I know we created such a beautiful memory together learning to make dumplings & lemongrass soup. It was also BYOB which made the experience just as fun even if you aren't getting a little tipsy. Brandon and Therese are such a warm, welcoming couple who made this experience incredible! I look forward to bringing more friends and family along to join in on the experience

If you can related how…read morewedding can be stressful ...this was my case ..my cousin who is 22 wanted a boutique experience with fine niche menus ..it was a totally chaos when we started to look for catering businesses around in San Diego . Answer total disappointment because none of the catering businesses got involved with the client , my cousin was taken care by Deedee ..she came home with different ideas and menus ..took more than 3hr to make my cousin feel grounded . Definitely dee dee is the person who creates value in her business. You can feel she does it for passion than the money involved. I have recommended her to my boss's 40th wedding anniversary..which again was a 10/10 experience.

Pro-Tip: They have a pizza vendor on site, but they ran out by the time we got there at 6:00 PM. Definitely get there earlier and order sooner rather than later!

There are options for small bites here or bring your own. New cafe coming soon and lots of summer events. Learned a ton from chatting with the owner Lynn. They certainly pour their entire heart and soul into this property and the wines. The folks here aren't employees, they are family. It feels intimate and real which is so refreshing.

I hesitated on booking a cooking class for a long time. You know how it is. You stare at the price,…read moreyou do the math, you think "I could just go eat sushi." And that's where most people screw up, because eating out you can blow a pile of money and walk away with nothing but a receipt and a vague feeling you got hustled. Then I pulled the trigger on Chef Krong for my birthday. Best decision I made all year. Here's the thing nobody tells you about cooking classes: a good one isn't about the food, it's about what your kids walk away knowing. And let me tell you, my kids LEARNED. Real, actual hard skills. Not "we waved some seaweed around" skills. A week later they made a mountain of sushi entirely on their own. Unprompted. Voluntarily. If you've got kids, you know that's basically witchcraft. Chef Krong made the whole thing a hit. She's patient, she's a real teacher, and she turns your kitchen into the best restaurant in town for an evening. You bring her into your house and suddenly everybody's happy, everybody's involved, and you're eating better than any place that's gonna stick a $14 cocktail on your tab. Money well spent doesn't even cover it. This is one of those rare deals where you pay for something and it actually keeps paying you back. We are absolutely doing another session. Huge recommendation. Stop staring at the price. Book it.

Enjoyed the "sidewalk" shop vibe. Baked goods looked yummy. We had a chocolate croissant which was a solid four-stars. Might have been tastier warm. What we didn't like: When we travel, we try a new, independent coffee shop daily in search of the best mochas. Other Yelpers had positive experiences with the espresso drinks here. We were underwhelmed. Our mocha was a two-star. Lacking in both a rich coffee or chocolate taste. Not sweet at all, though we prefer the darker chocolate, lightly sweet taste. The drink was weak and watery; lacked that rich, velvety taste of a mocha. The homemade granola looked good and we bought a bag to add to morning yogurt. If you choose to visit, come for the pastries and food, not the coffee.
