Great venue offering cooking classes as well as pre-made and kit food options from local small,…read more independent vendors. The class we attended was a ravioli making class where we did the full recipe from start to finish. There were two lead chefs and an assistant helping to pass out small apps, distribute tools, and clean up. There is a bar area that if self serve and at the end you're asked to pay for what you consumed. It would be nice if prices were posted, but drinks are about what you'd pay at any local bar. Overall, subtracting the food included and what it would cost at a restaurant, the class was about $35-$40 for a three hour experience. Afterwards they emailed out the recipes for what was made. I'd definitely try another class there as it was a fun time and great for couples or larger groups.

Tonight we thoroughly enjoyed the Tribute Show & A Neil Diamond Story, featuring Denny Svehla at…read moreChef Pam's Kitchen. For about $80, before tips, we were entertained by Denny S as he sang so many Neil Diamond songs. And if you were not looking, you could hear Neil singing in his wonderful voice. The music was presented between the incredible 4 courses, and allowed for conversations over the delicious dishes that were freshly prepared for us. Start with a nice variety of beverages (for purchase) with a bruschetta appetizer. Follow this by a light salad with fresh bread, and then to the entree of chicken breast with Prosciutto in a lemon sauce with mashed potatoes and sauteed carrots. Finish the meal with a light lemon cake with whipped cream, and not only was my appetite satisfied, but so was my appreciation for perfection in presentation. Chef Pam's Kitchen is a multi-use spot in downtown, serving special event dinners, cooking sessions, and offering locally prepared treats of all kinds. Local pastry chefs have access to the well-appointed bakery area. With all the food prep areas open to view, it is highly impressive to see the cleanliness and exceptional equipment in use. Our evening of entertainment and dining was wonderful. There are many more events planned here, and I recommend watching their offerings, especially if you like to have fun and great food!

So unsanitary! The cooking class is not worth the expensive price. I did the summer grilling class,…read moreand I was appalled by the amount of unsanitary actions that the teacher took. They did make us wash our hands in the beginning, but they did a cleanup break halfway through and told us to go explore the shopping area. We were not asked to wash your hands when we returned and were made to cut up potatoes with our bare hands. This would've been fine because I was working with a group that I knew, but then they made us all combine our food and do a buffet style. I wasn't able to eat any of the food we've prepared and we had to sit there and watch this man use a dirty dish rag to open ovens and wipe down the surface and then also use the same rag to hold down on top of the steak to cut. He also didn't really explain what he was doing very well and didn't really teach anything. We were lost the whole time because he would half explain to just one table and not even come by to show us. I wouldn't have eaten the food because of how unsanitary it was to see being made by a bunch of strangers with unwashed hands and then mixed together but we were sitting there for two hours and so hungry the entire time. They also made us these coconut, pineapple drinks that I didn't even touch because the person that handed us our cups placed her finger inside of the cups when she was carrying it, dropped it at our table and didn't even say what it was. It wasn't a cooking class. It was mostly just standing around and watching.

The quantity you make in the class was enough to last me for weeks! (but honestly, I could have eaten them all in a night...)

This place is HUGE and they have so many high quality items for all your kitchen and dining needs!…read moreIt may feel intimidating pulling up to the building because it looks like a manufacturing facility but the whole front of the building is their retail store.

Stop in today, you'll be delightfully surprised and glad you did!

I did a private cooking course with 5 others on pasta. While I wasn't too keen from the get go, I…read morecan say that I HIGHLY recommend taking a culinary course here. From the beginning, we had an appetizer that I can't recall but the tomato jam that was featured on it was definitely a highlight. They offer a small drink paring of wine or beer with your appetizer. We did a 2 hour course on puttanesca and gnocchi with a brown butter sauce. While you might ask how you could complete teaching these two dishes in 2 hours, it was quickened with the chef doing some of the work ahead of time. As individuals, we made the sauce for the puttanesca and rolled out pasta/gnocchi while the chef ended up making the pasta/gnocchi, brown butter sauce to go with the gnocchi and cooking both. The puttanesca was flavorful, but the gnocchi was a real hit amongst the whole group. I devoured all of the gnocchi and was able to save the puttanesca for delicious leftovers. The head chef is filled with a plethora of knowledge on food which made me appreciate food on a whole new level. He talked about how they do a semester course at Braise which is something I hope to do in the future! Some of us who went to this plan on recreating the dishes we made at home next week. I've been recommending this to the rest of my family as something to do and would use this as a great gift idea for the future. That's how much I enjoyed my experience!

He's an entertaining, energitic, fun teacher that has interesting and unexpected ideas for food. Class prices seem high, but it's absolutely worth it. You learn something about a local company and get to learn from an excellent chef in a small, informal classroom type setting. And be hungry when you arrive, lots of food to be sampled! You take home the recipies that he demonstrated. Mine was filled with notes I wrote since he shares his secrets (that are not printed on paper!) that help elevate your cooking skills. Makes a great gift as well. I've signed up my mom and myself and we went together, which was fun.

It was as simple as sending in a request form, paying a very fairly priced invoice, and setting a date to pick them up. I believe delivery is an option as well. They make custom design cookies for literally any occasion. Fundraiser? Birthday? Work party? They gotcha covered. I stalked all of their examples that I didn't even need just because they were so adorable and well done. Thanks to Annette for the custom (and delicious) treats, I'd definitely recommend!

His food is made from the freshest of ingredients, and the presentation was not "busy" (which I really appreciate) making the incredible tastes front and center. My party and others at the event truly appreciated all he offered; I admit we all ate more than our fair share. Chef Tre is rightfully proud of his work and it is obvious in the results. He is entertaining and easy to talk with. I asked lots of questions (which is my habit) and he was patient and knowledgeable. I look forward to our next dining experience with youLATU so I can try as many of the dishes he offers; each option looks so enticing! Thank you, Chef Tre. You made our experience a great one and we look forward to repeating it many times!
