I took the Foodcrafting 101 class at the Zane Grey estate in Altadena last weekend. I saw the…read moreprofile of this cooking school in the Martha Stewart magazine earlier this year and once I looked it up online I knew I had to take a class. They have some very interesting classes, and if it wasn't for the price point I would love to try them all! We made bread dough, strawberry rhubarb jam with balsamic and pepper, ricotta cheese and mustard that we flavored ourselves. The instructors are really great and helpful, and I learned a lot about the basics of cooking some of these standards. I baked the bread the next day at home and it tastes amazing! I was a little afraid to go solo, thinking everyone else would be in groups, but that was not the case at all. There were some couples, a few sets of friends, but a lot of people came on their own. So don't be afraid- just go and you might even make a new friend! They served coffee, tea and scones in the morning and a really great lunch of vegetarian lasagna and salad, plus incredibly delicious warm chocolate chip cookies. In other words, you are very well fed throughout the day and go home with a full belly and all of the treats you made in class. Plus, there are goats on the property, as it is a dairy farm. Any time I get to get up close and personal with goats it is a win in my book!

Honestly, I went to this bartending school, graduated from the program and did obtain a good…read morebartending job. However my issue is with the fact that they advertise the ability to come back and brush up on the course for all alumni free of charge, but this is not true. If you try to do this, they will not return your emails or calls. I've tried to sit in on a course and go back for a day or two to brush up on my skills and they will NOT return my calls. They always say "so in so" will call you back and NEVER do. DONT advertise this as a selling point if you aren't willing to fulfill especially when so many other schools offer this.

The location is set up just like a bar with music and dim lights to mimic the real environment, not like a lot of other schools where it's like a science classroom. Flexible scheduling for classes, I couldn't speak highly of the course. Biggest plus is they guarantee job placement when everything is open again, but Raven and the recruiting team were able to find me a full time job within a month of graduating even in the middle of COVID. Already saving up to send my mother here, as it's always been a dream of hers to bartend and Raven has worked with all ages and backgrounds so I feel very comfortable sending her here!

Her teacher, Mary Frances was able to find the perfect balance of giving her space while strongly encouraging her when the time was right. As a result, she loves school and has become so much more confident. She even likes PE now which has always been difficult for her. She has participated in music recitals and school plays and she is very proud of being a part of these performances. In the past it has been difficult for her navigate through having more than one friend. She has made so many friends at Frostig and has the support she needs when she doesn't know what to do. The social skills program gives her a space to ask questions and gain understanding. People with autism often do want to understand things they just aren't able to on their own. Frostig understands this and gives her the extra help she needs to be successful socially as well.
