I recently organized a virtual cooking session for a diverse group of Healthcare professionals in celebration of Juneteenth. What a spectacular event. Chef Sharon and her proctor JJ did an amazing job teaching, showcasing and leading a very interactive session. We enjoyed the event. The food looked great. I personally was sad I couldn't taste the fluffy, golden brown, glistening, piping hot deliciousness from the chef's oven. All the attendees loved it. Techies out there really need to create Scent-e-Vision and Tast-e-Vision ASAP. Give BLVD kitchen a chance. You won't regret it. Vivian. read more

We went there for dinner. It was a bit loud so they moved us outside. It was in August. We had a fabulous crab leg dinner. Now that I know they have cooking stuff such as lessons. I'm very interested. read more

Sharon and her team are fantastic teachers. We've taken their adult cooking classes, and recently booked them for one of our kids' birthday parties. They taught nine kids how to make cupcakes and everyone had a fantastic time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adult cooking/baking class, or kids baking class. read more

Thank you, Sharon & Michal, for an amazing food selection for my housewarming party! I specified my budget and logistical parameters, and you recommended the best spread for a group my size. Everyone raved about the food and, of course, I sang your praises so my friends can experience the joy of working with you to cater their parties in the future. Thanks again, and I look forward to our next one! read more

My daughters and I made paella with Chef Michal and had so much fun doing it. She showed us some basic knife skills and shortcuts, and also explained the "whys" behind so many cooking basics we take for granted. She was funny and comfortable, and was happy to answer our wide-ranging questions. The paella was pretty and delicious and we all learned some things that we will use in our own cooking. I recommend this organization and Chef Michal. read more

I've known about BLVD Kitchen for years. First and foremost it's located next to my favorite BBQ house on Ventura Blvd, so for me bumping into this esoteric establishment was a "No Brainer"! So what is Blvd. Kitchen? *Well, it's a store with great kitchen tchotchke's (get out your Yiddish dictionary for this word). My wife bought some very cool items. *It's an event place with great open houses showcasing local chefs and cuisines. *It's a bakery making one of the best Apple Pies in America. *It is a picnic basket specialist for the Hollywood Bowl, a Dodger game or a pretty cool date night surprise. *It's a cooking school. *They are caterers *And for me on this night, they are a Quarantine food source for us folk not quite ready to grab a table at our favorite restaurant and pretend (at this early date) "It's the good old days". Tonight my wife and I ordered for dinner, chili con carne, corn bread and (of course) an apple pie. The portions are substantial, and I thought I would have enough for left overs, but it was so good, we ate it all. This was truly a delicious dinner, packed perfectly for pick-up and priced great. I was impressed! This little "Gem" is now definitely on my radar screen for any of the above purposes, especially - Post Pandemic! read more

I have been to this wonderful shop twice and both visits had been very positive. The entire staff which include the chefs and assistants are all very friendly, very welcoming, and treats you very warmly as if you're a real member of the family. I always feel at home whenever I come in and literally crash in their kitchen. There's a mini store by the entrance where you can purchase novelty items such as cookbooks, kitchen wares, condiments, but most importantly, products made from scratch by the amazing chefs. At the back of the store is a big kitchen where all the action happens. This is area is used for cooking classes and reception area whenever a private event is held. The kitchen looks exactly what you see on the Food Network Channel. It has racks and shelves full of utensils, cook wares, condiments, and just everything you need in preparing a meal. You can view a virtual tour of this place on their website http://www.theblvdkitchen.com/ Cooking and baking classes are offered for both young and adults. Please go to their website for schedule, rates and other useful information. You should check it out! read more

Amazing experience with the BLVD team! They went above and beyond to execute a great work event for my team and me. I would highly recommend! All the food they made was delicious and extremely creative! read more

They taught a cooking class for our group. Awesome food and lovely chefs. The cheese biscuits were amazing.

Came here for a company team event and I really enjoyed my time. This is a great venue to have a lot of team interactions. At most team events you are seated and have the opportunity to only speak to a select few. This was not the case at BLVD Kitchen. We were first introduced with treats such as truffle pretzels and white or red wine and many of us were standing around speaking in a very open setting. Second, the chef spoke to us about the different dishes we were going to prepare and had us self select into the dishes we wanted to cook. All the recipes were very simple so no one needed to be a Michelin rated chef. You can also test the food while cooking which was fun especially if you have extra cheese. The staff came around often and helped out based on the needs of each of the team. I think the staff did most of the heavy lifting but it was more by choice since our team was eating and drinking more than cooking. haha The meal turned out very well and will be using the recipes soon since it was very easy to prep. Thank you BLVD Kitchen for a great time. read more

I found the BLVD class as a birthday present for my daughter, who loves cooking. I booked the Sunday Brunch for both my daughters. They absolutely loved it! They had fun and made some amazing dishes. They brought home what they made and it was delicious! They kept saying how nice everyone was and what a good time they had. We will definitely be taking more classes at Blvd Kitchen read more

So much fun!! Highly recommend! My husband & I enjoy taking cooking classes together and have tried many in the LA area. Some are low-key and easy. Others are more intense & instructional. BLVD's Sunday Supper is the 1st & it was great! Sharon (owner) & Donna were awesome. Very personable & helpful. We met some wonderful people who made our meal with us. Later, we enjoyed a great dinner and conversation together! Really a nice experience. Will definitely return! read more

We recently hosted our second team event with Blvd Kitchen and it was absolutely amazing!

Our Instapot cooking class was great! We really learned a lot about how to make the best use of the Instapot and had such a fun time with JJ! JJ's energy and guidance made the class a 5 star event! And...there was enough food that we all prepared to take leftovers home for lunch today (Yum!). BLVD Kitchen is one of those places that you've driven by dozens of times and never stopped in to see. I recommend it, not only for the classes, but for their amazing products and prepared food. read more

Soooo muchhhhh funnn!! We took the knife skills with JJ and had a blast. Learned techniques I can't wait to use in the kitchen. JJ was awesome! Can't wait to take another class with her! Loved this place highly recommend it read more

Please checkout the future classes and find out for yourself what a delightful experience you too can have. Truly and sincerely Marlene Nordberg read more

Went for a Sunday Supper and had fun but... I can't say this was a teaching experience, dip was opening a can of beans and adding it to the blender with some herbs, rice was 2 bags of a rice medley from Trader Joes with a few additions, dessert was a box cake with a little addition. Each of these items was done by a group of 4. Needless to say it doesn't take 4 people to dice a few herbs. No teaching info was given to the group as a whole. A few tips were given, if needed to the specific group, so overall it was not what I have experienced in cooking "class" more just a get together to make a meal. read more

Thank you for your curbside pick up service. Your food is always delicious whether to go or during a cooking class. Today I picked up veg quiche, lasagna and sourdough bread. Notice I left off the cookies....? I've eaten them and they were delicious! SHHHHH don't tell my family. Stay well and see you next time. read more

This is a really cool place. Sharon, the founder, is wonderful and knows how to make the best chocolate chip cookies. I was invited here for an event, a Djerassi Artist Alumni gathering, so admittedly I was happy to reconnect with my fellow artists and meet new ones. I learned that BLVD is a place where chefs like Darryl Wash can do pop-ups, teach, or host gatherings like this one. BLVD also sells some goods in the store, so I'll have to return to browse. Or, perhaps I'll do a pop-up, or teach a class. BLVD is full of possibility and they all taste good. read more

I teach high school at a small independent school in the Valley and was looking for someone to lead a cooking workshop for my Juniors and Seniors as part of a Basic Life Skills class. The workshop is part of a two-week intensive that helps prepare students for life as they look forward to college and young adulthood. After some research, it was clear BLVD. Kitchen had both the experience and approach that I was looking for. I immediately contacted Sharon; and after a few minutes of describing my plans for the workshop, she offered to get back to me with her thoughts. Within a few days, Sharon sent me a customized menu where students would both prepare and then share examples of quick and healthy meals. She also added support materials and recipes for the students to have for the future. It sounded perfect. I was sold, but needed to tell Sharon that our school did not have kitchen facilities large enough to support 15 students, and would she be OK with running the workshop in one our science labs? She said she was game and offered to bring all food stuffs and prep tools if we were able to supplied a few toaster ovens (for the salmon)! As planned, Sharon arrived with her assistant Kris and they went to town prepping and setting-up. When my students arrived, they were both impressed (and relieved) to find that Sharon and Kris had clearly taken the time to consider their needs, their tastes, their allergies (!), and their concerns moving forward beyond high school. After two enjoyable hours of chatting, prepping, cooking, and eating together, it was clear that the students not only learned a lot, but also felt much more confident with the idea of planning, prepping and cooking meals for themselves in the future. I can't recommend BLVD. Kitchen enough read more

We have been to the Blvd Kitchen three times. One time we did a parents night out cooking class with our son's second grade class. Next a kids cookie decorating and finally a fundraiser for our school. Not only is Sharon accommodating, but she is so friendly! Each event was a blast! We have had the most ridiculously fun times cooking and laughing here! Everyone in our groups always ask for the recipes after the evening is over and Sharon always obliges. I am so impressed with their service and food that I tell people about it ALL the time! There were about 25 of us the first time we went in to cook. There were 4 stations set up and the parents were divided into teams. Each team was responsible for a portion of the dinner (ex:apps,main, dessert, grilling) It became a bit of an All-in-fun competition and by the end of the night people were completely sated by the delicious food and the fun!! What's amazing is it's not expensive. It's quite reasonable for a night out with friends or that time you want to do something fun but don't want to mess up your own kitchen! The Blvd is completely stocked with everything you need and they offer a bunch of menu options that can also be tweaked for special dietary needs. They do other classes too which I have been told are amazing, and I can't wait to try them! One in particular is Family Night and I am looking forward to taking our whole family over to cook! The staff is so friendly and helpful that even people who tell me they can't cook feel accomplished after an evening at Blvd. cannot wait to return! #guaranteedfun read more

Congratulations to BLVD KITCHEN for a wonderful kids cooking series this summer!! Our kids have enjoyed every class, and the staff has made it so easy by having all the ingredients pre-packaged and ready. Our kids are inspired to keep cooking and try new things in the kitchen. Well done! read more

What can I say, BLVD went above and beyond for our private cooking class! They decorated the place for my girlfriend's birthday, and the customer service was fantastic. They also took TONS of pictures and sent them all of us at the end along with all the recipes. We will be coming here for every birthday party in the future!! 5 stars!! read more

I was in need of a shared kitchen space to rent and so I reached out to BLVD Kitchen and spoke with Robin. We spoke in length about the space, my business model and the kitchen requirements. I was very clear with exactly what my needs were and she was certain BLVD Kitchen could accommodate. She told me I didn't need an appointment; I could stop by any time and someone would show me around. I went by the next day for a tour with the completed application in hand. I met with Robin and she was clearly frazzled. When I had to go over everything with her for a second time, reminding her that my food items were frozen, a lady that was not part of the conversation interrupted and said that they do not provide rental space for any business making frozen items, even if they don't contain dairy. Robin looked over at her still frazzled and now even more confused and litterally said, "oh, we don't?" The health inspector I spoke with said it was fine, this lady (couldn't tell you her name because she never bothered to introduce herself) said that the health inspector "wouldn't like it." Huh? Sorry but this is food business 101. If you're going to advertise and operate as a 'shared kitchen," my baseline expectation would be that the staff is understanding and knowledgeable about the limitations and permits with the health department. So needless to say being turned away after a lengthy phone conversation, and even longer application packet and a 45 min. Drive accross town, my trip to BLVD Kitchen was a huge waste of my time - I found the staff to be rather unprofessional and the whole experience very off putting. read more

I LOVE BLVD KITCHEN! My daughter just had her 10th birthday there and it was a smashing success! Sharon, Chef Michal and the amazing BLVD crew were attentive, knowledgeable and gave 24 energized 10 year olds a party to remember. I HIGHLY recommend BLVD for cooking classes and parties. Stress free and so so fun! The BEST! read more

Had a great first experience for Sunday Supper on 1/27. Sharon (owner) was great in making everyone feel welcome and comfortable with the class. Everything was prepped and ready to go which makes cooking less stressful and more enjoyable. It also gave us an opportunity to meet other folks in the class and chat while we cooked. I'm a novice in the kitchen, so Sharon helped answer general questions I had. When we finished cooking, we all sat together for dinner at a table that was setup for us. It was fun and something I would likely do again. read more

This is not just a commercial kitchen. These guys have cooking classes, cupcake wars for kids, classes for adults, kitchen supplies, really cool cutting boards , goodie bag gifts and so much more. Oh, and they cater too. It's definitely worth checking out. read more

My son took their Master Chefs Skills summer camp class for kids. We also signed up for a sold-out class on the west side, and between the two, HANDS DOWN, Blvd was the better program.

It's the best kept secret in LA. We'll be back! read more

I can't thank Sharon1 & Sharon2 enough for helping make my birthday party a huge success!! They helped me plan a fabulous brunch cooking competition party.. I chose the adult "Battle of the BLVD Chefs!!" and I picked my favorite "secret ingredients only known to me!".. if you've ever seen "Chopped" on the Food Channel, you'll have an idea what we were in for... After the ingredients were revealed, each team worked with a BLVD professional and had minutes to design a recipe, prep, cook and plate! The best part was eating what we all cooked.... .... My guests are still talking about how much fun we all had!! Sharon and her great staff provided fresh fruit, vanilla scones & coffee on arrival, birthday decorations, little lessons for the non-cooks in the group, and CLEAN UP!!! My team won the battle with a bacon, egg & veggie frittata and a layered lemon crumble for dessert... Everything was perfect... What an incredible place to hold my big celebration and make it memorable (and they took pictures too!) You guys are the best!! And yes, the chocolate chip cookies are amazing too! read more

My daughter Ayla knew that she wanted to have a baking themed party for her 12th birthday. Having been to several wonderful cooking (and cocktail!) classes at BLVD kitchen, we decided to inquire about kids birthday parties. We were delighted to discover that we could choose from a few different cooking or baking options but ultimately decided on a cupcake baking and decorating party! I was put in touch with event coordinator Sharon who was very helpful and made everything incredibly easy. Having hosted many a birthday party for my kids, I knew I wanted something turnkey and stress-free! The BLVD Kitchen staff was very friendly and helpful, and captured the party with a ton of great photos (another thing I didn't have to worry about!). Ayla and her friends enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of baking cupcakes from scratch, eating delicious pizza at the community table, and then adorning the cupcakes with the most fabulous decorations! It was a fun, warm and memorable celebration. read more
