Chef Eric Wells, the mastermind behind Skye LaRae's (lovingly named after his daughter), has so…read moremany fun things going on in Cleveland! He curates must experience culinary adventures in the city. Some of the things that he offers in the city: in-home couples' dinners, cooking classes (mostly at Cornucopia), and cooking demos at the Fairfax Market. I joined his cooking demo at the Fairfax Market and Old Stone Church. I LOVED the experience and the food! The food looked so easy to make (haven't tried to reproduce it at home yet) and tasted delicious! To be very honest, I hate cooking (but love eating), but even for me these recipes looked easy to replicate at home! Fairfax Market Experience: Fairfax Market (Meijer) hosts free lunchtime monthly appearances from Chef Wells (sign up on Eventbrite). He does quick demo, shares the recipe, and then you can shop at Meijer for the ingredients (with the provided coupon). Ingredients looked very clean and easy to find. I participated in Tomato Bisque demo, it was so tasty! I'm not even tomato bisque fan, but this tomato soup was flavorful, non-acidic, and a perfect treat for fall. Oh, and the homemade croutons were easily the best I have ever tasted. Old Stone Church: Chef Wells led a one-time cooking demo at Old Stone Church (priced at $23.18). Tomato Bisque was so delicious that I immediately enrolled into the class. The series benefits Old Stone Church's scholarship programs and features a different chef every few months. Chef Wells prepared Moroccan Chicken Thighs with Jeweled Basmanti Rice. Candied orange, apricots, sun kissed raisins elevated this meal. The cooking demo was filled with stories, humor and good food. Beyond: Chef Wells offers cooking courses at Cornucopia. During the cooking class the participants are split up into groups of 4, and compete for the best dish. Cooking themes include various international cuisines, seafood, meat, and more. While I haven't been to any of these courses, they look fun in terms of exploring global cuisines. All workshop participants at the events I have attended rave about these classes! Chef Wells mentioned that you get plenty of food during the class. Chef also mentioned that he hosts in-home workshops for couples or groups. His team brings the restaurant experience to homes including dinner cooked on site and full cleanup. The experience is meant to be engaging with the staff. He also published an entire book about recipes for two. Cuisines vary based on preferences and multiple menus can be provided. Gift certificates are available, which seems like a great gift option. What's most exciting about Chef Wells is that he also teaches the kids global knowledge. He hosts events where the kids have to read up on certain cultures and then taste them. It's such a great way to get kids to develop a global mind and interest in other cultures. I look forward to attending other community experiences by Chef Wells. I will eventually make it to cooking classes. There are so many cuisines being highlighted that I'd love to experience (more eat than cook!)

Here is how my conversation went with an employee over the phone on Sunday, January 12, 2025:…read more Me: I am calling to learn about purchasing a Nespresso machine, milk frother, and pods. Her (nastily): We don't carry the pods. Me: Can you tell me what machines you have in stock? Her (again, nasty): I have no idea. Me: Would you find out? Her (resentful): I would have to go to the stockroom. Me: Yes, that's your job. Her: Click. (She hung up on me.) I called back, but they did not answer the phone twice. The third time, I got through and asked to speak to a manager. The manager argued with me and claimed the call was disconnected while I was on hold. That was a blatant lie; the employee never said she was putting me on hold; she just hung up. I told the manager I would never set foot in the store again, and I won't. Sadly, she did not seem to care one whit.

Despite…read moreknowing about it since I moved back into town 5 years ago, we just never quite got around to actually going. My mom and grandmother were in town for my birthday and it was finally the right opportunity for a celebratory meal at Edwins. We dined in the brasserie, where the menu is classic French bistro cuisine and the service is accurate and attentive. Across our party of four, we sampled from across the menu: the shrimp cocktail, soup du jour (potato leek), and mixed green salad were soon followed by steak frites, roasted salmon, and shrimp scampi. Everything we had was well-executed and flavorful. We followed with dessert, splitting a creme brulee and bananas foster across the table. To accompany the meal, each of us got a glass of wine or cocktail. I was pleased to see the retro revival cocktails - you don't see a Japanese Slipper on too many menus, and I found it well balanced and refreshing. What a wonderful experience, and serving a wonderful mission.

The "fish" was crispy seasoned so well and even had great mouth feel. She somehow had seaweed attached that really gave you the fish essence. The gumbo was incredibly textured like a meat gumbo would be. I can't tell you exactly what was used but there was a veggie in there with the texture of chicken, sausage, shrimp, and crab. The roux was thick and great. What they are doing with vegan food is straight up soulful. I will be ordering meals online. FYI they don't have a physical location.

Their food looked and smelled incredible: vegan ribs, sweet potato fries and a kale dinner plate. I did purchase their German chocolate cupcakes (which were gluten free as well as vegan- yay!).

No one would know that these weren't regular cupcakes unless you told them and the gooey frosting was definitely one of the most memorable vegan frostings I've ever had.

My aunt wanted me to make a charcuterie board but I knew I had a busy month with work and I knew this party had high expectations so I was hoping to leave to a professional and Lisa was the perfect pick!

There was not one thing on the tray that wasn't perfectly ripe, and absolutely delicious! Lisa and I had messaged for days narrowing down exactly what we wanted. She was so helpful in picking the correct size for the right number of people. Lisa helped me stay in budget, her rates are truly affordable especially for such a customized and personal experience and her work is art!!! She sent me example photos, measurements, answered any questions I could possibly have and I could not be more grateful for her time, effort and patience!! Picking up the trays went so smoothly, she helped me load them into my car! And the trays are GREAT quality. My aunt took them to reuse them because they are super stylish!!!
