Last night I went to the All About Chicken class. I was a little nervous because I went alone, and…read morebecause I'm not that comfortable in the kitchen. Honestly, I don't really like to cook. But I had a gift card so off I went. Patty welcomed me into her beautiful home ... a fire going and nice music, and I met the three others in our class, one of whom also came alone. A sip of wine later and I was facing my own naked bird at my own station in her huge kitchen -- on my own board with my own knives -- waiting to be cut up. Patty was so patient with me ... helping me hold the knife, find the joints ... and before I knew it I had six beautiful pieces ready to be prepared in 3 different recipes. We cooked every last part of those birds along with a delicious rice dish and sat down a few hours later to a leisurely meal admiring our work. We could have stayed there until the wee hours at her table, the four of us and Patty; we felt completely at home. (Except that she cleaned up!) She also does children's classes. My kids went this summer. She was excellent with keeping them all on task and managing her kitchen with six messy little ones having a ball. Oh --- and she does a Thai class ... that's the one I want to do next. I ate as much as I could. I left with the rest of my food in to go containers ready to serve my family today, and with the confidence to cook again tomorrow. I feel so confident now ... I want to try chopping onions and swirling butter and making my own stock at home.

I hope to take one of her classes or use her talents for one of my own events.

She is so knowledgeable and does a great job educating and answering questions. This more than made up for our horrible experience at Sur La Table several months ago. Helen takes time to ask everyone at the beginning what our questions are going into the class and what we hope to learn, and at the end of the class does a whole Q&A session. She prints of recipes, shopping guides, and includes links to her YouTube videos on the recipes, she even included a bonus recipe for us just because she thinks it's delicious. Helen is worth every penny, can't recommend her enough. It was a great date night!

They thought of everything! There were even some snacks (cheese, meats, and focaccia) to start and the water and soft drinks were free. It was set for 5 couples but one didn't show. My husband didn't know anyone before hand but quickly chatted and talked em with everyone. The pace of everything was great. We made dessert first. Then we made the salad with from scratch burrata cheese, marry me chicken and homemade fresh pasta. It was truly the best experience. The dessert was a layered red velvet cup with mascarpone cheese. It was heaven! The class was hands on and the staff were all so friendly. The space was clean and welcoming. Two bathrooms were inside the kitchen area. The menu can change per class so be sure to book what you like best. They offer a variety of classes and is not just for couples if you do the classic cooking class. Worth the price, hands down. So glad we came here and got to experience this. We will be back for sure!

We got demos for everything that wasn't made by us but enjoyed the foods that our chef chose for us to make, such as the burrata! We had wine, cheese, meat, and focaccia when we got there and made our dessert, burrata, and pasta before assembling the whole meal. There was plenty of food to take home and we left stuffed! Our class happened at the start of a snow storm so only about 14-16 out of 20 people came which helped create a more intimate setting.

Postpartum meals by TOH: Simply put, I didn't know I needed this service until I had it…read more After laboring and delivering our third baby, spending two days in the hospital, utterly exhausted and ready to recover, my husband and I came home to probably the best gift we could have ever possibly received: Homemade, nourishing, delicious, hot meals - all ready for us to eat. This is exactly what you need postpartum. No arguing that. When you walk through your front door after the most intense physical endeavor of your life, you're going to want the smell of a pot roast going on the crockpot. That's the only thing you're going to want - to crawl into bed and just eat good food to replenish your nutrient stores and give you energy. I don't have to think about cooking for days - all I have to do is curl up with my baby and enjoy the cornucopia of nourishment that Kate has provided. Imagine if you pair that with a MealTrain? You are setting yourself up for the most enjoyable and restful postpartum season possible. 10/10, would recommend, 2 enthusiastic thumbs up. Run, don't walk to Postpartum Meals by TOH. You need this.

I like Sur La Table, and I'm surprised at the low 2.3-star Yelp rating. I've purchased kitchenware…read moreitems here several times and also attended a cooking class. I've always found the store to be clean, neat, and well stocked. On this visit, I was interested in purchasing a larger Epicurean cutting board. I tried a small Epicurean board and really liked it, so I decided to get a full-sized version. These cutting boards are made in the USA from a paper composite material. They're durable, knife-friendly, nonporous, thin, and very lightweight. I find them much easier to use and maintain than traditional cutting boards. Sur La Table had many sizes to choose from, and I selected the 17-by-13-inch version. I stepped up to the register and was helped immediately. It cost $54.95. Tip: If you know the size you want, Amazon offers these for about $10 less.

I received the notification that it was ready for pickup about 45 minutes later and off I went to the store. Three employees were at the register when I arrived on Sunday May 24th around noon: Basil (great name!), another guy and a young woman (brownish hair, a little below the shoulders with NO personality at all). Very friendly Basil went to the back to get my dish towel while Ms. No Personality scowled about needing my ID because telling my name and exactly what I was picking up was not enough. That is fine (note that I also offered to show Friendly Basil the bar code for pick-up from my email, but he probably had gotten my order ready because he knew all about it), but when I pulled out my license I noticed that she barely looked at it...... it's as if she just wanted to be aggravating for a moment. Well, she was. Here is an idea for her (and the store manager): "may I please see your ID" would be a REALLY polite thing to say! Or just that barcode, which I did just offer to show. 5 stars to Basil, 0 stars to the obnoxious girl
