Main…read moreStreet Café is now more prominently located compared to the last to-go shop, visible as soon as one enters. The café is bright and airy, offering grab-and-go foods and beverages. I was in awe of the variety offered to students. As a college student, I would not have been able to afford most of the items in the pastry and refrigerated cases. I noted the containers of soup and beverages available, even the break-apart cookie dough to bake some cookies for a midnight study break. I got the chocolate chip cookie dough for a friend who later texted me a photo of some of those tasty-looking goodies. On to the pastry case. Oh goodness, I could have one of everything. Instead, I limited myself to the chocolate-almond croissant, maritozzi, and lemon cake. When warmed up, the flaky croissant shattered at first bite and oozed dark chocolate. I loved the sweet and subtle taste of the almond paste. The orange-flavored maritozzi was good. The brioche dough was not as tender as I would have liked, though expected since it was later in the day. The cream center was incredibly light and complemented the overall flavors. I appreciate the school instructing students on traditional items (croissants, biscotti) and trendier-to-me foods (maritozzi). Service was earnest, but given that school had just started, there was a bit of confusion.

I have been attending cooking classes with Mary for several years now, and have developed quite a huge stack of recipes from those classes! After my first class (which was a Julia Child-themed class I believe), I was HOOKED... The smell of wonderful things cooking right before your eyes (like interactive LIVE Food Network!) and the relaxed, laid back atmosphere are some of my favorite things about Taste. Of course, my absolute favorite is how wonderfully delicious the food is, and that I usually have to ask for to-go containers because they give you very generous portions of the food that is prepared in each class. The recipes and tips that Mary gives while cooking each dish are priceless, and you can ask her anything during class to help you when you are in your own kitchen at home. The staff is very friendly and eager to accommodate any needs that you might have. Mary is also very knowledgeable about where to purchase and how to purchase various ingredients, like where to buy the best fish and what it's supposed to look like and smell like, or where to go to get the best phyllo dough, and the best (and fastest) way to drain spinach, etc., etc., etc... If you are looking for a pretentious, overpriced, meager-portioned food encounter, go spend your hard-earned money elsewhere. But for a much better value, and the most outstanding food, and the best cooking experience, look no further than Taste: A Cook's Place in Northville, and at www.tasteacooksplace.net/cooking_classes for the latest schedule.

Mary has been cooking and has been teaching cooking for more than 20 years. This is a place where…read moreyou'll understand what food is, what are basic, necessary elements to a dish, what elements go together, where to buy the groceries from, what liquor, wine, beer, alcohol or non-alcoholic drink would pair the best with the dish. She has an extensive knowledge about food, wine, restaurants, ingredients and holistically culinary art. She can cook different cuisines from French classic to Italian pasta, which will make you wonder why you shouldn't pay more than $15 for a pasta at a restaurant. The sea food classes are from fresh lobsters, clams, etc., from the east coast. She has the seafood ingredients flown in during the right time of the year, that's the reason you'll get limited seafood classes. I highly recommend at least one seafood class. The bourbon class has been a hit since last few years (approx. 7) and you'll understand what can you do with a simple Jim beam. The Indian cuisine is made with the exact Indian ingredients you will get in India, and spoiler alert, she will tell you the exact place you can buy turmeric and black pepper for $2 and not $20. What's the difference between a store bought mayonnaise vs homemade mayonnaise, real vanilla vs the imitation vanilla, when are where you should pay for food and why, and when are where you shouldn't waste your money on expensive food and why. The Mexican town tour is a must attend. Mary and her team will take you to Mexican town and have you taste the authentic Mexican cuisine, suggest places you should buy your fresh ingredients. Obviously Taste A Cook's Place is a success because of the entire team. Sammy has been an excellent cook, Baker, server and a helper in the kitchen. She has been vegetarian for last 5-6 years, but knows how to cook a chicken breast and steak. All this comes from Mary and her training. Mary Christopher has been an excellent Baker and her preciseness towards perfection is an example of how a baker should be. Jen is an excellent helper and will be focused on her test, and will work faster and concentrate on quality. And if you have gotten this far reading the review, you might wonder how do i know these things, and why i appreciate this place so much; it's because Mary and her team has made this business into a family, and experience and you can't beat what you get here. You will hear a lotta stories alongside cooking instructions and you will walk out with an intention to open your own restaurant. You pay a reasonable dollar amount (approx $70-$90, depending on the menu) and you get (5-6 dishes) a salad, an appetizer, a soup, two main dishes, a dessert, etc. You are allowed to bring your own wine and you get to take home the recipe with all the hidden secrets, so next time you invite your friends over, you can serve then the best pierogies (polish dumpling) they have ever eaten. 5/5 star.

A Yelp friend invited me to come here today for lunch, with another Yelp friend of ours. I had…read morenever been but the two of them dine here quite frequently. It's the "fine dining" part of OCC's culinary program, meaning your waitstaff and back of house are all students. The menu changes weekly, and it only operates on Thursdays. There's only one seating left for the 2022-2023 school year, next week, for high tea, apparently. You have to email them here to make reservations: https://www.oaklandcc.edu/culinary/restaurants The crowd skewed a bit older - I'm 36, my dining companions were 45-50ish and 60-70ish, too. The onion "amuse bouche" was delicious. I didn't expect to like the eggplant soup but I did, a LOT, actually (I'm not a big fan of eggplant). I had the veal for my entree, and I've never really been a veal fan, but the marsala sauce was good. Dessert was an apple streusel cake with ice cream, and the ice cream was a bit frozen, but the caramel sauce, and crumbly things that came with it, were delicious. Since this is run by students, there will be a few hiccups, and there were: my dining companions needed forks; one sent his food back because it was cold (but myself and my other dining companion had warm plates; etcetera. Everything was corrected quickly and efficiently, though. This place is also a bit hard to find: it's in the J Building at the OCC campus. I recommend parking in the East parking lot. I think we cut through the G building, into the J building, then up to the 4th floor, but if you want to just walk around till you find the J building, that works too. Overall, everything here was very good, and I'd like to return at some point. OCC also has the Ridgewood Cafe, a quick-casual restaurant, which you can find here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/ridgewood-caf%C3%A9-farmington-hills-3 (and I think previously, my dining companions left reviews for Reflections there, too). Forgot to mention: tip must be left in cash, but you can use a credit card for your meal.

We were searching around and weren't sure where to enroll her. She walked us around various classrooms/activity areas/yard etc. while one of the instructors interacted with our daughter. We really loved it and we got the feeling they really cared and knew what they were talking about. Lot of places may say they do Montessori, but do they? It was a plus to be super close to the school. I also think for the quality education and life skills our daughter gets, price is more than fair. We already see positive changes in our daughter. She is more curious and she loves going to school. She has also less reliant on her teddy than before. I give them 10/10 as we are very satisfied with them. Recommending them to another parent is not hard for me.
