    Lunch when I got home from class using the Zhoug sauce we made in class!

    Chef Traci and her sauce class were awesome! Traci is a gifted cook and a fun and gracious teacher. She brings a relaxed energy to class that was contagious. Traci taught our group how to make four extremely delicious sauces. The sauces were the quality of a fine-dining restaurant. Traci also gave us ideas of how to use to pair these sauces with our home cooking. To addition, each student was sent home with the sauces we prepared in class! I have been cooking up a storm with the sauces since! Highly recommend!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I did a sushi cooking class with Chef Traci (and Chef Jack) as part of an offsite for my work in May 2025. Chef Traci is professional, organized, and so so warm and fun to be around. The class itself was a nice blend of learning how to make the actual sushi, some history / fun facts about the different components, and getting to relax, socialize and eat. And the sushi itself was delicious!! If you have a chance to do a class with Chef Traci, or just eat some of her food, or even just spend some time chatting with her -- do not pass it up!

    Cooking with chef Traci

    For my birthday my sister booked a class with Chef Traci and I think this is one of my favorite birthdays now. She is very personable and even if you're a microwave cook she'll make you feel like a gourmet cook in no time. I was sad that our time flew by. Our meal was absolutely delicious and I hope to do this again soon.

    See all

    I think her chicken tagine is heavenly, and enjoy her warm, expressive presence in the kitchen.

    I cannot praise Nicole more for her amazing cheese making classes! Our company did an outing here…read moreto make Burrata, Mozzarella, and Goat Cheese and had a blast. Nicole makes sure to explain everything thoroughly, including the history of each cheese. Makes everything super interesting. We also included a grazing board and they were all so delicious. We were eating, making cheese, and having fun the entire time. Parking is a bit difficult so we just did ride share there. The place is a bit hard to find but it's a office room inside a parking gate. I am definitely go back with friends and family the next chance i get. I hope this place doesn't get too famous so Nicole still has time left for us! haha Thank you for everything Nicole!!

    Nicole led a virtual Chevre-making class for my colleagues and I and it was a blast! Pretty awesome…read moreto be able to enjoy such a fun, informative and highly rewarding (we did get fresh cheese out of it after all) experience via Zoom. We were provided with our very own cheese-making kit ahead of the class (with immersion thermometer, cheesecloth and straining basket included) and super detailed instructions to replicate the recipe at home in just 10 minutes. Worth to note that the cheese culture packet that came with our kit was enough to culture an additional 3 quarts of milk beyond the one we prepped, too. Nicole was lovely - she answered all our questions, and gave us pro cheese seasoning/paring and gifting tips. Would highly recommend, especially for large-group/team bonding events. Looks like everyone will be getting fresh cheese this Christmas :-)

    A month or so ago, I attended a fermentation and pickling class taught by Dara Merin right in my…read moreown neighborhood! The class was small - about four or five of us in her roomy kitchen. We went over all the recipes in her handout for fermented veg pickle (like kim chee), sourdough starter (I already killed mine), kombucha (I've got the mother now but not the time or the courage to make the kombucha!)... the class is more demonstration with some hands on prep to make the pickle. Everyone was super nice and I highly recommend Dara's classes. Classes are in the kitchen a 1908 house in the Temescal neighborhood of North Oakland, a ten minute walk from the Rockridge Bart station. Each class is chock-full of cooking instructions, specific methods, and tips and includes a comprehensive handout with recipes and lots of other information and resources. The focus is always on how to make delicious food that is nourishing and nutritious too. Classes all feature a relaxed and comfortable dinner in the lovely dining room after we finish cooking, with abundant food and wine to compliment the meal. This part of the class is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the group and feel the sweet community vibe that makes classes with The Sage Table so special. Cooking is done with the highest quality ingredients possible, adhering to the idea of SOUL food: Seasonal, Organic, Unrefined and Local. As much as possible is purchased at local farmer's markets in the East Bay. Classes are vegetarian unless explicitly noted otherwise.

    I have taken 4 cooking classes so far. from The Sage Table…read more The cosmic raw chocolate 101 class was the most exhilarating as we ate and drank amazing dark rich and healthy chocolate all night. It took my current cacao skills to a new level. The fermentation class was excellent. I feel confident fermenting foods and drinks. My partner, having watched me make traditional kombucha, began making his own experiments, so we are a super fermenty household now. The vegetarian soup making class opened my mind and palate up to legumes in a new way, and I have yet to try those recipes. The bones, broths and braising class, taught me how to make chicken soup and beef stew, that could have my Jewish ancestors rolling over in shame. The soups/stews we feasted on at the end of the class were nothing short of off-the-BLEEP-hook fantastic. My belly was in pure bliss. Dara was great about answering all my how to cook meat related questions too. There were a lot of things about meat and cooking meat that I did not know before. As a soup lover I can easily say that these were the best tasting liquid meals that have passed through my taste-buds in a long while. I am dairy-free, gluten-free (except for ghee) and so appreciated that these recipes are not dairy dependent. Thank you Dara, for your amazing culinary expertise.
