I enjoyed the overall setup- focusing less on the recipes and more on the experience. As a plus, they send the recipes for what you made the next day! I attended the pasta cooking class and I honestly did not expect to make three types of pasta. I was able to practice using the Kitchenaid attachment as well as a manual pasta roller which was great. After each meal we made, sitting down "family-style" was great because we were able to immediately enjoy what we cooked. Love the small group setting and everyone having the ability to try different stations. When I first booked, I thought it was a little pricey, but after attending this event, I 1000% think the price was worth the experience. I can't wait to attend another class and learn something new!

So happy to see a virtual cooking class on the Weekly Savor from Central Market. So easy to invite several of my friends who I met cooking virtually at many, many Yelp cooking events. The free live online class and discussion with Chef and Restaurateur Einat Admony, who is known for her fresh, sophisticated Mediterranean palate, was fabulous. So interesting to learn about Chef Admony's journey and challenges as a chef and then cook along with her using chicken, lemons, herbs, onions and olives in Braised Chicken with Olives and Citrus. She also did a bonus Tahdig recipe. The food turned out amazing!! Chef Admony was one of the first chefs to introduce Israeli cuisine to Americans. I would love to eat at her flagship New York eatery, Balaboosta. She sold her Taim franchise to Chipotle, the Mexican fast-food chain. She has competed on the Food Network's reality television show Chopped and won twice. She is also a comedian and is a great teacher. Her passion really shined during this virtual class. Thanks to Chef and Restaurateur Einat Admony for sharing your wonderful story as a chef and your cooking tips. You are an inspiration. Thanks also Central Market Cooking School for offering this great class virtually. Thanks for the recipe and the recording. Braised Chicken with Olives and Citrus. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put the chicken, olives, onion, preserved lemon, dried limes, lemon slices, oil, honey, salt, cilantro, garlic, turmeric, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix everything thoroughly, making sure the chicken pieces are well coated with the spices and herbs. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side down in a deep baking dish in a single snug layer. Arrange the rest of the mixture over the chicken. Whisk the stock with the orange juice in a measuring cup and pour over the chicken.

This was the best catering experience I've ever had. In terms of the smooth process, affordability, and taste no other service can beat Betty's Kitchen.

Then I received text reminders leading up to the event and then the chef and her team came and delivered the food and set it up for me. Guests were asking all night if I made the food (I wish!!).

If you want to drop $86K for a bachelor's degree just to sit through professors reading PowerPoints…read moreand taking attendance like you're back in high school, this is the place for you. The "campus" is a joke -- you share a breakroom with the custodian, it's tucked in the middle of the ghetto, and there's nothing inspiring about being there. Most of the "chefs" are rude, condescending, and clearly not trained to teach. Just because you can cook doesn't mean you should be in front of a classroom -- but here, that's apparently all it takes. One chef actually got mad because I didn't know how to make puff pastry -- like, isn't that literally why I'm here paying you to teach me? Level 5 was the biggest waste of money and time. After Level 1, all you really do is follow a recipe and plate the food. There's hardly any focus on technique or real culinary growth. If you expect to leave here with polished skills and industry-level training, prepare to be disappointed. Graduation ceremonies? Don't get your hopes up -- they're not really about the students. They spend way too much time handing out awards to guests, faculty, and even random employees, instead of recognizing the people who paid tens of thousands of dollars to be there. Bottom line: this school is about profit, not students. They care about your tuition check, your attendance sheet, and that's about it. The degree isn't respected in the industry, and most restaurants don't take graduates from here seriously. CIA, ICE, and other real culinary schools are 100x better -- they actually focus on technique, education, and setting you up for a real career. Before you sign up and get buried in debt, really think about what you're paying for. This place is a culinary clown show.

3.5 stars, rounded down for cost to value ratio…read more I consulted with Keifs Catering initially off of Thumbtack. The staff were quite responsive, and I was trying to set up a special night with my partner for our anniversary. I had heard from a few friends setting up a dinner with a private chef could be a pretty special experience, albeit pricey. The Yelp reviews and Google reviews, alongside Keifs Catering's incredibly vegan and vegetarian friendly menu options, had me enthusiastic. Along the way, I asked for input on menu options, as well as asked about the number of options I was setting for the menu; my partner and I have small stomachs, and I was worried about too many leftovers. I was reassured that any leftovers could be eaten over the following few days. As my partner is the foodie, I was making these decisions myself and I trusted the staff I was consulting with. The coordination was seamless, as was the online payment system. The staff arrived on time (2 individuals). The table was set partially by staff (partially by me to ensure it was truly special ambiance) and looked quite nice. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout the night. I had assumed the items were all assembled from scratch, but was surprised that when I asked about the vegan taco appetizer ingredients, another staff member had to be contacted to find out their composition. From the taco appetizer (3.5/5), I was immediately certain I had ordered too much food. We warned the staff and asked they pack away food as we knew it was going to be too much. Unfortunately, the spare taco shells were presumably thrown away instead of preserved and the vegan taco crumble we had to eat on its own over the following few days. The garlic fries were delicious (5/5), and for some reason, in a similar manner, the leftover vegan chipotle was thrown away instead of preserved and packed for later consumption. The watermelon mint salad could have tasted more fresh and crisp, but was fairly good (3/5). The entrees were amazing, though unfortunately due to the immense amount of food ordered, was only partially enjoyable. The tofu satay skewers I could have eaten for days (and I did, 5/5), and the vibrant coconut green curry was quite tasty and worked well with the skewers (4/5). The gorgonzola mac and cheese could have been its own appetizer and was quite tasty (4.5/5) but again, I wish I had received better advice from the staff when I set the menu. I have a bit of a sweet tooth l, so was particularly excited about the desserts, though both of these (creme brulee was a little soft, and I'd have loved more crumble in the cobbler) left a little bit to be desired (3/5). This was a really special first experience with a service like this, and I am so glad we tried it out, though I wish I had received a little bit better guidance from staff throughout, and wished the items had all been packed for leftover eating as expected. The price point for all of this was fair, but for these issues that would generally be minor, I really would expect no issues whatsoever for the price point. I think this would be an amazing option for catering for a larger group!

From start to finish, our experience with Keifs Catering was amazing!…read more The team provided us with a 3 course in home private dinner for 9 people. I had a little trouble deciphering how the menu worked online, but after a quick phone call I was all set. After a simple booking process, the hardest thing for me was to let go and trust. I'd communicated my vision for a valentines themed dinner party and the need to cater for a seafood allergy. The team showed up right on time. They were courteous and efficient in setting everything up. The table decor was perfect for our occasion. The food was absolutely delicious! The portions were generous. All courses came out at the right time/pace/temperature. Leftovers were boxed up for us with a personal touch. The crew was attentive and accommodating. They cleaned the kitchen while we relaxed and reflected on how amazing our dinner was. Definitely 5 stars!!

She assumed I knew how the business works, this is my first time here and first time ordering edible images in person ever. My friend on the phone was sending the images, and the employee tells me to tell her to send it fast. Excuse me? What's the rush? She was on her phone the whole time with an AirPod talking on the phone. Every time I asked her a question or said something to her, she completely ignored me and continued scrolling on Facebook, giggling, watching videos, and on the phone. I had to say "hello" to get her attention every single time. When I asked a question regarding the images, she responded by still looking at her phone. Didn't even look at me. And the work wasn't even all that on top of that, it was sloppy. Like I said this was for my friend, me personally I will never purchase after this and take my business back to Etsy.

They don't have their own space, so we rented out a room at Clutch Distillery. The even was inside, in a cozy room where they had all of our supplies set up for us on tables in little stations. There were 15 of us in the class, with 5 people at each table. The instructors were clear and gave you all of the information needed to have a successful cake building experience.
