Kidding Around the Kitchen provides cooking classes and demonstrations geared toward the family…read more I just attended one of the classes with my daughter today, "Wok and Roll" at the Japanese American Museum. Todays class was "A hands-on cooking class of easy and healthy stir fry and sushi recipes the whole family will love." The class size was small and there were enough work stations for every child to try to make something different. The work stations included: Farmers Market Rainbow Stir-fry Thai-riffic Chicken Pasta and Veggie Stir Fry Cucumber and Avocado Sushi Mexican Sushi Bites Crispy Candy Sushi Moo Shu Vegetable Roasted Color flower Sun Tea My daughter was only interested in making sushi everything and we were successful in working the three stations that made sushi. After the class was finished making the dishes, all of it was laid out buffet style for us to try everyone's handy work. Chinese take out boxes were provided for taking home what we made. The food itself wasn't "fine cuisine" but the class was very informative, fun and provided a great opportunity for kids to try a food they typically wouldn't try at home or even at a restaurant. Even though, I consider myself a foodie and a well-informed cook, I did learn something new from the class and it was simple enough that it got my nine year old daughter interested in cooking! We were also able to get all the recipes in a handy dandy stapled handout. I learned that Kidding Around the Kitchen provides weekly demo's Sunday's, 10-noon at the Hollywood/Atwater Farmers' Markets. I look forward to taking my daughter to the next class.

I assumed a private chef would make food that looked pretty, but the taste blew me away because the shrimp was cooked perfectly. For desert we had these deep fried Oreos with horchata rum and ice cream.. soooo good.. worth every sweet calorie.

At first, I was hesitant to join Prestige and was unsure of the program, but I felt comfort in knowing that I was being supported in my studies. My friend in the class unfortunately had a situation with another student regarding race. After informing Mr. C, swift disciplinary action was taken, which demonstrated my instructors' zero tolerance stance on discrimination. I want to personally thank Mr. C and Ms. Celia for standing up to unfair prejudice against minorities. I truly cannot say enough about Ms. Celia! As our clinical instructor, she got to know each and every one of us personally and had so many 1:1 teaching moments that I have never experienced before. She truly cared about course material, but most importantly, she cared about us personally, beyond our education. After graduation, I set my standards high and applied to one singular position, confident in my skills from her teachings. I was offered the role with no prior CNA work experience, and my peers and superiors were surprised with my base knowledge from day one. I now work at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, one of the top hospitals in the country, and I wouldn't have been able to do so without the instruction from Ms. Celia. Thank you so much for everything and I will forever be grateful! That being said, Prestige's administration could use some work......
