We had an excellent experience at Mirepoix. I've taken many cooking classes and this one stands out…read moreas the most advanced while being educational. The class not only taught you how to make the delicious food, it also went into content on the technique of cooking which I found to be interesting. My only knock was the fact that our food's timing was off so the pork was cold by the time we were able to sit down. This was partially due to class timing and partially due to the way that the class was set up in "teams." My team was very focused on how to do the recipe "by the book" (aka no variance from the demo) which took us longer to get through than that of the recipe cards that were handed out. It was still delicious and an actual recipe I'll recreate in my own kitchen - so 5 stars!

I attended the October 2011 event. What a fun evening it turned out to be. There were vendors galore. All handing out very useable freebies. The stage was filled with cooking equipment and gadgets of all kinds. Much of which was raffled off to the attendees during the demos. Emcee for the evening was Joe H., Yelper who also does the Hungry Dudes food blog. He did a super job. Michael Barna was the performing chef. He gave many valuable cooking tips and techniques as he prepared the various dishes. The prepared dishes were also raffled off to the attendees. Again this was a fun filled evening. I left uplifted with many new ideas for food creation. I will most definately be at the 2012 spring school.

I couldn't recommend Deb and her cooking class more.

I had a really great time at their Saturday night cooking class which started at 7:30. This was…read moresupposed to be a French date night which consisted of making French chicken and French pastries. Wendy was our instructor and she taught the class. I will say that she's very patient and kind. The only feedback I could offer to her is to allow more of us to do more hands-on stuff in the beginning of the class. I do understand that she's teaching us how to use the instruments in the kitchen, but the point of the classes is to be interactive, and many of us spent 30 minutes in being in the class just watching which was essentially a waste of time because my philosophy is that you should be doing instead of watching. Now in terms of the chicken, the cooking process was long. It took around 1 1/2 hours to make the dinner which was all right, but most of us were hungry by the end. I will say the class was worth it for the French pastry. We made profiteroles which was super fun and a lot of us really loved it. The dinner was not very filling though and the class did not have enough chairs for us to sit down when we were going to eat our food. Many of the participants in the class were elderly in this required them to be standing up for 3 to 4 hours, which was very intense even for me. All in all, it's a very good concept, but I will say that they need to be more prepared to handle a large class volume, and they need to allow us to do more hands-on stuff instead of us watching, especially since we're paying money to learn how to cook!

The first cooking class was Latin steak night where we made steak with chimichurri and gelato for dessert. The second cooking class was crabcake with steak and garlic aïoli with oven roasted asparagus and chocolate lava cake. It was such a delicious meal. And she is a fantastic instructor. I've signed up for my third class and can hardly wait. As for the store itself, the staff are really nice. I've purchased a number of items here. If you take a cooking class you also get 10% off in the store which I took advantage of. They have a beautiful selection of just about everything you would ever need for your kitchen and serving goods. What's not to like about that?

Pretty much a Jo brainer to have a microwave people can use. To be quite honest, I think this place is resting in its laurels when it comes to baked goods.
