    My son has done this camp for 3 years and really enjoys it. Having a brother who is a professional…read morechef, I feel this camp is the closest camp to chef school out there. Students have the option of baking camp (they bring home daily baked goods) or cooking camp. My son did the later. They learn food prep and clean up, how to properly sauté, chop, hold knives etc. They prep the daily lunch that is served for all the students. The bakery group usually sends home daily baked goods with this group in exchange for lunch. The last day parents are invited to feast on all the recipes that the students learned to make throughout the week.

    My daughter did this camp and thought it was a waste of time. Unlike other cooking camps where kids…read moremake their own dishes, this is a line cook approach so she would only do a small part of a dish like cutting onions or kneading dough. She said she didn't get to actually cook anything. The instructors cooked which defeats the purpose of a class like this. The foods the classes prepared became lunch for everyone but then my daughter's class had to clean all the pots, pans, silverware, dishes etc. They spent an hour and a half washing dishes daily! For a $600 camp I did not expect that. The students were not allowed to bring home any leftover either (in the savory food camp). I can't recommend this camp.

    Attended a cooking class with the great Chef Dom. The energy was on 100 from the beginning with…read moreChef bringing a positive vibe. Everyone was engaged and ready to learn. We cooked steak fritesand a flourless chocolate volcano cake for dessert. Classes are BYOB and they have an infused water that you can have as well. Instructions were clear, the food was delicious, and after cooking, we had a time to go out and shop (you save 10% on your in store purchases during class), and when we returned to the kitchen our tables were set and we were served family style. It was my first cooking class and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely suggest this for a fun date night. You get the experience and food all in one space.

    Thad an absolutely wonderful experience during the cooking class at Sur La Table! The atmosphere…read morewas inviting and inspiring. The instructor ( Chef Sonia) was energetic, knowledgeable, patient, and made the class enjoyable for cooks of all skill levels. The recipes we learned hands-on were both creative and approachable, with ingredients that are easy to find and techniques that I can't wait to replicate at home. The highlight was definitely tasting the final creations. Which was SO delicious!! If you're looking for a fun, interactive way to improve your cooking or simply enjoy an evening out, I highly recommend taking a class at Sur La Table. It's an experience worth savoring!

    We recently decided to try the Story of Ramen as my daughter was celebrating her 16th birthday and…read morehad strong interest in the culture and loves Ramen. When we arrived the location was immaculate having a spacious sun room area for us to sit and dine after finishing with the preparations. Our group of 10 was handled with extra care allowing each person to mix, measure, and pour ingredients then crafting our dough into perfect shaped noodles. The arrangements were clean and well stocked and amazingly delicious. It was a true hands on fun experience; I would try again and high recommend those foodies that love to get their hands dirty while learning from two wonderful experts about the history of Ramen. You must try the egg that was marinated for 24 hours that in itself was a treat, and defiantly try the spicy sauce. When you leave you will be full with a smile thinking I am glad a tried this.

They usually work with groups but was okay when I told her I didn't mind just having my boyfriend and I. I think it made it more personal.
