We attended the Summer Vegetarian class. Kate gave a brief intro to what each station entailed, and you could pick one that you wanted to work on. Kate and her assistant would walk around and help as needed, and call everyone over at certain parts to show how things were being prepared or cooked. Most of the food she was as using she had bought at the farmers market. We had some appetizers while finishing up the cooking, and at the end we all sat together in the dining room for a full meal. All of the food was delicious! Kate sends the recipes out via email after the class. I will definitely be trying some of them out at home, and looking to take a class in the future. Don't expect to master any of the recipes during this class, but you will gain some tips and come away with a full belly and some new recipes. You can bring your own beer and wine, and she also provided water and lemonade for us. Our class ran about 30 minutes over, so depending on how many dishes she has planned be prepared for class to go a little longer.

We had taken a dim sum class with Chef Katie many years ago at her old location and signed up for a…read moredumplings class recently on a Saturday morning. Classes are out of her home in a residential area, so follow the directions she sends you. She had done most of the prep work, showed us each recipe, and then let all of the participants wash their hands and get to work. Everyone wore a mask, and outdoor seating was available for anyone not comfortable dining indoors just. We got to rotate through various stations and Katie did some of the more intensive cooking, like the deep frying. She was very helpful with tips and checking to see how everyone was doing. After everything was cooked, we sat down to eat. Boy, there was a lot, and everything was delicious! We made gnocchi, pierogies, momos, potstickers, samosas, and apple dumplings. Water was provided and you can BYOB if you like. It did take a little bit longer than scheduled but not too much so. She followed up a few days later by emailing the recipes to us. A great experience for foodies!

We came in a Friday night and made some arancini, lasagna, salad, and Pizzelles. Chef Wynton is also the owner and super friendly. It was a fun way to spend a Friday night. My favorite part was making pasta from scratch and of course eating what you make! It would be fun to visit again. Chef Wynton also teaches cooking classes for children and I'd definitely consider sending my step children-they would love it.

I scheduled Michelle to host the cheese and butter class for a bachelorette weekend and it was such a hit. She arrived with an assistant to set up the kitchen and even prepared a tray of delicious snacks for us to enjoy during her lesson. We had so much fun making cheeses and butters and snacking on crudites we were so stuffed we skipped our scheduled lunch. Another bonus was that Michelle even cleaned up the kitchen afterwards (my least favorite thing to do after cooking). I cannot say enough good things about her cooking lessons. This is such an amazing service and everyone that participated loved the event, I only wish she was closer to LA and I could have her host more cooking lessons. Thank you so much Michelle for being the highlight of our weekend activities!! If you're looking for a fun unique activity to try and are in the SB area I highly recommend Farmbelly Cooking School!

She really wove the personal elements of local farming into the experience. For the "cooking" part of the class, we focused on knife skills, which was huge for me and really took the stress out of the experience. She also did a great job establishing rapport with the group early on, which sounds simple but has been majorly overlooked in other cooking classes I've taken other places around the world. Love!

We did bistro bliss which consisted of cheese fondue and a salad appetizer, asparagus and fish as the entre, and chocolate profiteroles for dessert. The space itself is tucked in between some other local staples - Fishbones, Wahoo's, and Sticks & Stones. Inside though we sat at a long counter already set with cutlery and wine glasses. It is a small class limited to 8 people, and each of us took turns preparing one of the dishes. I got to mix the profiterole dough at the end and then plate them with chocolate sauce and ice cream! Every dish was delicious, fresh, and super fun to watch others prepare, season, etc. And there was plenty of wine to pair with the meal. Chef is super knowledgeable, authentic, fun, and entertaining. I would definitely do another class , I just hope I don't have to wait another couple years!
