The classes take place in a quintessential 100+ year old farmhouse. All the participants are snuggly seated in their home but everyone was lovely and having a wonderful time (tip - there will be 2 demonstration tables, sit at the one with the hanging camera. Talk about front row seats!). My class was candy making. We were supplied with a small recipe booklet of around 10 different candies. Plus, you'll also get recipes for the food they serve. Yes, that's right - they feed you! You get a light breakfast & lunch, all homemade food from Grandma's kitchen, including homemade bread. The farm homestead isn't hard to find. Just know that the last two 'streets' are dirt roads and you'll have a private parking attendant (Grandpa) waiting to direct you. It was very easy to make reservations online & they provide excellent communication both before & after the class. The cost was sooo worth it! Can't wait to sign-up for my next class.

So far, I have taken five classes from Grandma Ingrid and Nicolle and I have learned a lot and…read morereally enjoyed each experience thoroughly. The classes are held in an over 100 year-old family home and it is very warm and inviting. It is fun to attend the hands-on classes and there are always interesting fellow attendees to meet. Ingrid has a lifetime of experience with home cooking and as a Master Food Preserver for the San Luis Obispo Cooperative Extension Office and her knowledge base is vast. I highly recommend taking a class from Ingrid and Nicolle to anyone who enjoys cooking and wants to learn something new. An added bonus is that breakfast and lunch are included with each in-person class and you get to take home whatever you learned to make, plus handouts and recipes.

It was an experience to remember! Rachel infuses her background as a Reiki practitioner (energy healer) into her passion for food and wine. She takes you on a magical journey of flavors and delight. Her unique ability to create a relationship between the food and wine encourages the flavors to almost dance with one another. Throughout the dinner, I felt like I was on a magic carpet ride that I didn't want to end. It was a joy to see Rachel's passion and creativity pour out with such love, care, and enthusiasm. A wonderful experience I think EVERYONE should enjoy.

The planning process was simple, thoughtful and spot on. I told her of my wife's favorite foods and she incorporated them all into a spectacular dinner. She thoughtfully curated each dish and served and explained them all to our group. She prepared a "grazing board" to start and then spring salad, truffle Gnocchi, Salmon Caprese and Beef Braciole. The food was tremendous but her interaction and personality made it all. My highest recommendation! Thank you!

I brought my work group here and we had so much fun learning how to make pizza and the dough. "I never knew the right way" clearly. It was exciting and fun. I thought I knew how to make a pizza until I came here. They set it up like chopped the tv show, you get to pick your ingredients, go to your station and make some yummy ass pizzas or whatever food there cooking. I highly recommend going here. Couldn't recommend it more. They are beautiful people and you will see that when you go!

I found this rental while researching venues for an engagement party. Looks nice from pictures and…read morevideos, but dealing with the owner was difficult. In addition to the $750 event fee, she requires that both suites be rented for a minimum of THREE nights (almost $2000). This not only is an exorbitant rate, but seems absurd considering we would only need the space for one evening. Still, I was willing to consider it as a retreat for the bride-to-be. The owner also stated that she would need to have final approval over our caterer, which struck me as utterly bizarre. When I inquired about viewing the property physically, she did not respond for nearly a week and I had to contact her again before receiving an answer. We set up an appointment, only to be informed that she would be away, but she would "leave a list" with her husband if we had any questions. The day before our appointment, she emailed to say they had people checking in early and that we either needed to reschedule or we could still come, but we would only be able to view the outside of the property. Considering the price point, I opted to reschedule. Then two days before our second scheduled appointment, I received an email from her with a "heads up" that she and her husband both had to be in SLO BY NOON, so please be on time for our appointment - our 11AM appointment that she had already rescheduled once and was now going to be rushing through so they could get off to SLO. I found the insinuation that I would not be punctual quite insulting. At this point, I determined that as pretty as the setting looks in their ads, continuing to deal with the owner was not worth the hassle. My advice to others is to look elsewhere, as I am doing. There are lots of wonderful venues in and around Paso that are operated by much more pleasant and reliable individuals.

She handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the evening without lifting a finger. The kitchen was spotless when she left, which was such a bonus! Having her cook for us turned a fun girls' weekend into something truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a private chef in Paso Robles, look no further than Chef Danelle--she's an absolute gem.

The "college class" options were extensive, and my daughter had difficulty deciding which classes to take. She ended up really enjoying the experience. Some of her instructors sounded amazing, and I could tell that she really connected with them (Hogwarts, watercolor, acting, creative writing). I love that the program trusts the kids to get to classes on their own and give them a bit of independence in a safe environment, and my daughter appreciated this aspect of the program. too. Finally, the staff even emailed me when they somehow identified that my daughter left her sweatshirt before the end of the session. It is her favorite sweatshirt, and a lot of places would not have made the effort, so I appreciated it.

She came to our Airbnb and provided a wonderful cooking class experience where she had each of us (10 women total) working on different parts of the dinner, such as seasoning and preparing whole Branzino for grilling, chopping vegetables and herbs for salad, and kneading dough for flatbread. She was also so thoughtful to bring a few appetizers, including delicious romesco and spinach dips, for us so that we could snack on them while preparing dinner. I didn't have to do any shopping for this dinner either. She came prepared with all the ingredients we needed for the dinner (from farmer's markets and her own garden!) and brought some of her own kitchen tools for us to use. After dinner, she cleaned up the kitchen and even went to the store to pick up some takeaway containers since we didn't have them. Roxanne went above and beyond in making this experience an unforgettable one for my sister and her friends! I would absolutely hire Roxanne again!

We used Fire to Fork Catering for the cocktail hour at my daughter's wedding on September 12, 2026,…read morein Los Olivos, and it was a great choice for us. From the minute I began talking with Stacey, she was friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. We did not have a wedding coordinator, so we were handling pretty much everything ourselves. I really didn't know what to expect when hiring a caterer for an event like this, and Stacey made the process easy. She worked through the menu with me, explained how everything would work, answered my questions, and even made the payment process simple by allowing me to send payments through Venmo. The food was plentiful, beautifully presented, and delicious. We had four different appetizers, including taquito cups, bacon-wrapped shrimp with the perfect combination of sweet and a little heat, mushrooms stuffed with chorizo, and carne asada sliders. My daughter, the bride, actually said, "I don't even like mushrooms, but I love these!" That says a lot! They traveled from Santa Maria to our wedding in Los Olivos, brought the appetizers, set everything up beautifully, provided table coverings, and the service was prompt and efficient. One thing I had completely overlooked was providing plates for our guests. That was something I should have taken care of, but in all the craziness of putting together a wedding without a coordinator, I simply didn't think of it. Stacey came to the rescue and kindly gave us a small stack of plates they had with them. It was a small gesture, but at that moment it was incredibly helpful and very much appreciated. If you are planning an event, especially if you are doing much of the coordinating yourself, I would absolutely recommend reaching out to Fire to Fork. Ask questions, discuss exactly what you need, and let them help you through the process. The food was excellent, the service was professional, and everything worked out wonderfully for our daughter's wedding. Thank you, Stacey and Fire to Fork, for helping make such an important day for our family go so smoothly! Our photographer captured all the food tables. I will add those pictures when they arrive!!

Fine Food.....Wrong Venue?…read more This is the first "less than 5 star" review for Fire To Fork. My comments are not quite the same as all the others because those focused on the catering side of the business. My review discusses Fire To Fork as 1 of 3 food providers for a concert at the Presqu'ile Winery on Saturday, August 8th. My wife and I are vegetarians and menus from the 2 food trucks at the winery's event sponsored by the Oasis Senior Center in Orcutt were 100% meat. Fire To Fork was listed as the 3rd provider so I called earlier that day to ask whether the promised "charcuterie board" would be appropriate for vegetarians. I left a message...kind of incomplete since the tape was only 30 seconds...but a very nice woman called back and said "we'll have a huge box with 10 types of cheese plus nuts, fruit and some meat for people who want it". She was super friendly. We got to the concert early and I was one of the first people at the Fire To Fork booth. My wife and I planned to share a "box" so I simply said "everything but the meat". The paper box was the type used for a couple of hot dogs. The guy in charge gave me 3 strawberries, 8 red grapes, 2 balls of caprese cheese with 2 cherry tomatoes, small chunks of another cheese, a few figs and one other dried fruit. A younger guy put 10 crackers in a smaller box. Since the cost was $35.....yes, $35.....I asked for some more cheese - especially since I didn't get any meat. He reluctantly added one ball of caprese. The contents of my "box" were fine, but worth $12...maybe $15. Since some of the money was probably going to the local non-profit, I could see a charge of $20. But $35 was an insult. Everything at the 2 food trucks was $10-15. The food itself was fine, but the portion meager. For similar events in the future where attendees pay for the food rather than one person or organization footing the bill, either lower the price or raise the amount of food provided.
