I was surprised with a Valentine's Day Couples Cooking Class at Kendall from my boyfriend. It was…read moreone of the coolest experiences we've enjoyed together! Before you start cooking 3 Chefs explain and demonstrate each course you're going to make. It's a lot to remember so I suggest you pay attention! There are students who walk around to help answer questions and bring you ingredients. The Chefs are also very hands on. One Chef walked me through the entire process of making the vinaigrette! While cooking, they also have a snack & beverage table set up so you won't go hungry! In fact, try not to fill up too fast! Then, there is one course to be eaten at your cooking station, which were the scallops! Here is what we cooked: 1st Course: Beet Salad w/ Oranges & Pistachio Encrusted Baked Goat Cheese Croutons - the croutons came out phenomenal but we forgot to add our vinaigrette! Lol! Whoops! We accidentally left it on the counter! 2nd Course: Scallops in a Butter Blood Orange Sauce topped w/ Caviar- my absolute favorite thing we made! The sauce was so good w/ the perfectly cooked scallops! 3rd Course: 3 Large Flank Steaks w/ Cauliflower Purée- the marinade for the steaks was amazing! Steaks came out nice and juicy! The Cauliflower was cooked in milk then purée by the students. 4th Course: Raspberry Truffles! This was the most comical portion of the evening bc/ we accidentally let the chocolate sit for a little while. When I went to ball the chocolate over the raspberries, the chocolate instantly melted in my hands. A student quickly came over to help but we had a laughing attack bc we were trying to salvage what we could! Quickly, we dipped the truffles into coco powder & put them back in the fridge! It was such a blast pretending to be Gordon Ramsay and Zumbo! It really felt like we were on a cooking show! We were so into it, that out of 28 ppl we were 1st to finish! I wish they would record it & send you home with a dvd! Lol After, Couples enjoy their meals at candle lit banquet style tables lined w/ white table cloth next to an open bar. (This is not the same location as Kendal's main restaurant.) You bring your salad with you and the rest of the courses are served by the students! A lot of thought went into making this night possible & a lot of the ingredients come already prepared! In just under 3hrs you cook & dine! So romantic! So much fun! Delicious food! The perfect date night! I would do it all over again in a heart beat! Thank you, My Love for such a wonderful evening!

Man, I do not cook…read more But, for a night at Kendall College (Spice Up Your Life Cooking program)...I felt for a slice of time, that I might be able to get into it. That feeling has passed, but I still had a really nice time. Ok? Ok. I learned how to "assemble" several items: *Sparking sangria. I'll definitely make this at some point again because it contains alcohol and thus I am not going against my DNA that requires I do not create edible dishes. Ever. Choppy some fruit, throw in some brandy, red wine, Grand Marnier and pour over ice and sprite. Not bad! I'm drunk now, so let's cook.... *Ciabatta Pear Pizza with honey thyme pesto. A winner, most definitely. I could probably make this happen at one point in the future without anyone being harmed or maimed. Those were the standouts. The rest of the dishes (mushroom tartlettes, seafood ceviche, chorizo quesadillas) were all OK, but nothing out of this world. Read: I won't even try to make those. The good parts of this program/classes: the instructors were very fun, and cordial...not like Hell's Kitchen at all. They made it a really fun "Girls Night Out" cooking class. There was also PLENTY of sangria to go around, and other wines to have additionally. For a hot second I actually worried on the way over that I not only had to cook...but had to be sober and cook! Whew. They prep everything for you, so you basically just have to assemble and put in appropriate heating vessel. Even then they have a million students buzzing around checking things, so its basically fool-proof. Except the food processor, I managed to break that. Though, after watching it turn tomatillos into wonderful salsa in mere seconds, I can see why all these chicks want to get married and get a Kitchenaid. Although you know, you can have one and not get married, for the record. A success...and a very fun GNO. Great staff, well organized, private parking and great food. We left stuffed and sauced!

She played on her computer while having the students sit in study groups watching YouTube videos. We had no choice but to look into tutoring. Club Z delivered! They're awesome! Our daughter loves her tutor Brian and says he's very easy and fun to work with. She's now getting a B in her class and it's all due to Brian and Club Z. She's a much happier person because of this. When my wife had her Zoom Parent/Teacher conference, her math teacher was so excited to tell her how much improvement our daughter had made. Then her face dropped when she was told it's because of tutoring. Love it!! I sincerely believe Club Z has much more to do with Naperville's reputation for great schools than District 203. Club Z delivered what NNHS wouldn't. Well worth it. I highly recommend Club Z!

You don't get the feedback and to ask questions that arise as you're going through the process. I received tips and hints on correcting my form, my placement and I kept forgetting to plug the mannequin's nose. I remember now from the feedback. You just wouldn't get that online. You also get the tactile practice and a better sense of things. It's more similar to a real life situation. The other students also had questions just arose as you're practicing and it was informative and information I wanted to know as well. As a new parent, I feel much better about being able to handle an emergency. The class is definitely worth it and David is a great instructor! He is very responsive and helpful.

As a soon to be first time mom, I wanted to receive training in CPR in case I ever needed it with my child. However, many of the licensure classes are pretty expensive. I don't need the actual license for my job. This is just a skill I want to have in case of an emergency. Well the friends and family class with Dave was $50 per couple. This means my husband and I were both able to take the class for $50. We got a little booklet and a chance to practice on the dummies. Also, the class was shorter than most since it only covered children and infants. It was about an hour and 45 minutes instead of 3 hours for some classes. It was engaging and informational. David answered everyone's questions and kept your attention. It was a great class to take for first time parents, grandparents, or anyone responsible for taking care of a child. Just keep in mind, you don't get a license and the Friends and Family class only covers infants and children.

Do your research and talk to the students in each department to get a feel for what your student will encounter. Dance and Musical Theatre receive a lot of support the other departments not so much. Socially, there is a major divide between students who are on scholarship and those whose parents pay the 24K price tag. The feedback I received from students was paying students were less likely to get disciplined as harshly as scholarship students. ROI, there were a number of times I didn't feel welcomed in the building and wasn't pleased by the services provided by staff. I had extremely high expectations for the school and my student. I always felt my student kept her end of the bargain but I never felt the school lived up to its marketing hype. Small classes can have its pros and cons at times I felt my student was falling into a "group think" mentality typically applied in asian cultures. My daughter developed friendships that I believe she will have for a lifetime. Skills from the VA Department that she will continue to build upon. She loved CAA and hated to leave.
