The instruction was a good balance between ayurvedic philosophy of food, nutritional value, qualities of different spices, and cooking techniques. Sonali was extremely well prepared and organized, and she kept the class interesting, fun, and productive. She was careful to include everyone in the preparation and discussion. (Bonus: awesome tasting Indian cuisine to chow down on with friendly classmates.) Last night, my husband and I each employed the method we were taught to great results. If you live or love to cook, this is a fun and worthwhile way to spend three hours.

I thought we were cooking, but it turns out that we got to sit and learn how to cook! The chef does these classes in two locations; one in Fort Lauderdale, and one in Delray Beach. Today we attended the class at Bagel Twins restaurant in Delray Beach. Tonight's menu included Lobster! We started off with a delicious Lobster ravioli with a lemon wine sauce and wilted arugula. From there we had the most divine lobster bisque I've ever tasted. Chef Cooks all of this in front of you and asks for participation from the audience. He had many Sous chefs tonight! After the bisque, he made the most incredible Lobster bruschetta with a balsamic glaze on top. And to finish off the evening he served the most delicious lobster mac and cheese I have ever had in my entire life! When you take his classes, he will email you the recipes of everything he cooked that night. My friends and I had so much fun and we would definitely go back for another demonstration and meal! Such a fun and interactive evening!

Chef Baba is funny, a little sarcastic, and really encourages everyone to cook with their heart rather than stressing over perfection. One of the coolest parts is that he makes his own wine from scratch and gives everyone a glass to try. You can also BYOB, which makes the experience even more relaxed and enjoyable. The class is group-based, so volunteers help cook while everyone participates and learns together before sharing the food. It creates a really fun atmosphere and makes for a great date night or group outing. The food was incredibly tasty and felt very authentic. My family and I definitely learned a recipe that could easily become part of our Sunday dinner rotation. I'm excited to try it again once Chef Baba sends the recipe! Overall, it was a great experience. Plus, if you come back as a repeat customer, there are some really nice deals offered. Highly recommend!

Upon arriving everything was already set up including a charcuterie board with quick bites, wines, Prosecco, and sparkling water. What I loved about this cooking class was that the chef was great at explaining things in simple and easy to understand steps. The food we needed to chop was already prepped and organized into individual bowls. We each had our own cutting board and knife. Everything was well planned, organized, and executed. We ended up making spinach empanadas, shrimp ceviche, and lomo saltado. Everything we made was delicious. The staff took care of all of the cleanup and the chef walked around filling our cups with more wine or champagne if we so desired. All in all we had an amazing night and would definitely return. If you're looking for a unique way to celebrate a special occasion, check his place out.

The Great Gatsby took us back into the 1920's for a couple hours and we were able to enjoy delicious flavors of the decade :) The public class holds up to 12 people at a time and there was 10. It didn't feel like it was over crowded and each of us had our own space to cook as well as sitting down to eat afterwards. It came with music, a beautiful setup, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you are a level zero or a 5 at cooking, the instructor David will make sure that everyone will be on the same page the entire time. The menu consisted of an appetizer, main entree, and dessert. We cooked and made the Royale, pesto chicken, and 24K gold chocolatier. The Royale consisted of garlic bread with the option of onions, mushrooms, and herb scents served with a side of chicken or shrimp salad. The pesto chicken included cream cheese, herb sauce, pepper, pesto along with a fried herb wine and garlic pasta. The 24k gold chocolatier had rice pudding along with chocolate mocha pudding, raspberries, and edible gold. Everything was fantastic! It was an awesome learning experience that was fun and informative. Who doesn't love to eat?! David made us feel at home while we were able to cook and get insight on how things are cooked as well as sharing our own experiences with cooking throughout the evening. I recommend doing the course and making it a fun night out! You will not be disappointed and you can thank me later ;)

We bought a Breville coffee pot from the Sur La Table in West Palm Beach earlier this week and…read moreafter putting it together, it was not functioning. My wife called Breville and they told her it was malfunctioning and to bring it back as the water didn't heat and it didn't drip. We attempted to return it to the Sur La Table in Mizner Park in Boca Raton with the original purchase receipt from West Palm Beach. The manager of the Boca Raton store, Anastasia said that since it was opened and used that she would not be able to issue a credit throughout credit card account, but could exchange it or give us an in store credit. This is contrary to what was printed on the receipt. From other stores, we have made a purchase at one store and returned it to another of their stores. Recently, we purchased something from Tommy Bahama when we were in Sarasota and was able to return it to the Tommy Bahama in the Boca Raton mall. There was no issue as we had the original receipt. Why did we get a hard time returning a defective coffee maker to another Sur La Table? We tried setting up the coffee maker but we never were able to use it as it didn't work. We now have to make another trip to West Palm Beach to return the coffee maker to the Sur La Table that we purchased it from within the 30 day return period. This is a big inconvenience to us. We will be telling our friends and neighbors about this experience at the Boca Raton Sur La Table. We no longer will shop at Sur La Table.

Anastasia, the manager said that since it was opened & used they can't give me money back on my credit card. They would give me a gift card or an exchange. I argued with her that I couldn't use it that if I could've used it, I would've kept it. Anastasia, the manager went through every item and checked the serial numbers with the numbers on the box and then had real difficulty putting it all back together again. Now that I understand Sur La Table does not take defective items back with the receipt in the original packaging two days after purchase - I WILl NOT SHOP HERE Again!!!!

There aren't too many stores like this around, so it's really hard to make a comparison. Upon entering the store, I was at first overwhelmed by the selection. I didn't know where to look first.

It's nice to know a place to shop for jewelry making supplies that is head over heels above the big box craft stores. The bead selection includes a large, varied collection of glass beads, Czech glass beads, pottery beads, pearls, semi-precious stones & a whole lot more.
