Michael was very welcoming, knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and provided an extra treat of cream cheese stuffed strawberries for the class because it was Mother's Day. Thank you Michael for your hospitality! I hope to purchase a kitchen aid with pasta attachment very soon. I brought home some lemon caper sauce for myself and my daughter, and thank you for the recommendation on the scraper as well. I love Williams Sonoma. We always look forward to going to the Pavillions for brunch, and this beautiful store afterward!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. The cozy and inviting atmosphere created the perfect tone for an evening of fun and learning. Chef Hassi was phenomenal--his lively and engaging demonstration kept everyone entertained while teaching us the art of making authentic pizza, stromboli, and calzones. His passion for cooking was contagious, and he made the entire process approachable and enjoyable for all skill levels. The ingredients provided were nothing short of amazing--fresh, abundant, and full of flavor. It was clear that quality is a top priority at Napoli Culinary Academy, and it truly elevated the dishes we created. This experience was not only educational but also a fantastic way to bond as a team. We left with full stomachs, big smiles, and new culinary skills to show off at home. If you're looking for a unique, fun, and delicious team-building activity, Napoli Culinary Academy is the place to go. Highly recommended!

I first met Mayumi (pronounced My-you-me) at a cooking class I took through Learning Exchange. In…read morecase you haven't heard of it, there are classes you can take in a variety of subjects for your own or your child's personal enrichment. I had long given up on ever learning to cook. I assure you I can follow the directions on a Mac and Cheese box, a package of Top Ramen, or cake mix recipe. But besides that, I was pretty lost in the kitchen. I know it sounds pretty pathetic to some, but in this fast paced world we live in, I just never got those lessons from my parents before I left home. Eating out all the time can be pretty fun, but after awhile you crave a good home cooked meal. I've been fortunate enough to have people in my life that always knew how to cook. But it never felt right to put that kind of burden on the other person to always be the one to cook all the time. So I decided to it was time to reverse the course of my life and start taking cooking classes. After meeting Mayumi though Learning Exchange, I was intrigued to find out she also offered personal cooking lessons. So, I signed me and my eldest son up (whose 13 years old). Mayumi will come to your house (pretty much anywhere in the greater Sacramento area-including El Dorado hills and Roseville). And she will teach you (and up to a party of 6) how to prepare and cook four recipes. She also covers what's good to keep in the pantry, how to save money on groceries, and what are the best cooking items to make sure to have on hand. I was thoroughly impressed. I love her style of teaching lessons. She keeps things as simple as possible so that even beginners like me feel like it's something not impossible to learn. I can now stir fry meat, cook pasta with shrimp and veggies in it, the best mashed potatoes you've ever had, and make a delicious Greek salad to go with it. My son did an awesome job. We will be making these recipes again soon so that he'll really be able to do these on his own as well. I suddenly feel a new inspiration in me to try new recipes that I never had before. I feel more confident that the kitchen is not a place to fear but a place to bring people together and make happy memories. If you haven't heard of Fork & Knife Creations I highly recommend checking out the website and reading up on all the wonderful things Mayumi has to offer. It's definitely worth the investment of time and money!

She is really so versatile, you will be hard pressed to choose. You absolutely have to sign up for classes with her! The quality of your cooking will improve exponentially. Sharon C.

My very first professional baking class with Jeremiah Duarte of Jeremiah Bakes! We learned how to…read moremake a stone fruit galette using rough puff pastry and a rolled pavlova, which is named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova due to the light and airy texture of the meringue. Jeremiah is a wonderful teacher: patient, welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly, kind, fun, and 100% down to earth and approachable. He is also organized, prepared and efficient. For novice bakers like myself, I appreciated his easy manner and his focus on making his recipes unfussy and unintimidating; I actually felt like I could do them on my own (although we shall see about that!) Jeremiah even graciously prepared a plum tart for our group as a special treat. BONUS!!! I am anxious to sign up for another class coming up in August, where we will learn how to make desserts of the Azores Islands. Please consider joining us for a fun time, meeting new friends, professional baking techniques, exclusive recipes and some delicious treats! You will be so glad you did.

Just took my second cooking class at Whole Foods' Salud! cooking school, and it was awesome. They…read morewere both really great, and a fun way to spend a weekday evening. Classes are $40-70 typically, and last almost 3 hours. Seems kind of pricey at first glance, but you actually end up eating a full gourmet dinner there, and drinking as much wine or beer (depending on the class) as you want. As far as good deals go - you might spend $50ish going to a nice restaurant and ordering a couple of glasses of wine anyway - making this a good value, because it's entertainment, and you end up with all the recipes. The first class i took was Beer & Bratwurst, and last night was a Filipino foos cooking class taught by a few different people, including Tina Macuha from Good Day Sacramento. And last night, Honig winery in Napa sent wine, and their rep talked briefly (and not annoyingly) abotu ti and then just poured it all night for us! These classes happen in a demo kitchen inside a separate room in the store - it's a state of the art facility, the classes are laid back and fun, and especially fun for a group of friends. Most classes are demonstration with certain parts being hands on. You'll leave full and happy, too!
