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.

I really love this place. I heard they teach cooking. I love baking and cooking. I would look into it and try to take a class. Also the workers are so helpful. They ask if you need any help. Reminds me of that constant hospitality like Nordstroms. Its really nice It's really a great place.

The CIA is such a wonderful place to celebrate food and wine in Napa. We did a four day Italian…read morecooking Bootcamp and it was an incredible experience. Chef Avia took us on a daily journey through Italy through food, and we made so many amazing recipes. We loved learning all kinds of tips and tricks and celebrating not just Italy, but all the wonderful bounty of the CIA garden. I don't think I've ever eaten so well! Our culinary coordinator Michelle was so helpful getting us our ingredients and keeping us on track all day. And Lupe took great care of us when it was time to eat, drink and celebrate our creations! As part of our class we got to eat together at the Grove and it was incredible. All the dishes were spectacular but in particular the Lions Mane mushroom was unforgettable. We all kept asking ourselves if it was steak. The building itself is so beautiful with an outside lawn/amphitheater, huge well-equipped kitchens, and a great little shop. We had fun looking at all the collections of kitchen equipment too. Any time you visit Downtown Napa the CIA is worth a stop!

I had no idea people did this type of activity which is a great idea. Chef Catalina has a beautiful home that she opened up for her cooking class and and is so very welcoming. Not only was she a great teacher she also had great deal of patience. To have strangers come in her home and make a mess in the kitchen. (Not that much mess :). In this cooking class she taught us to how to make Mexican Street Food. We had Al Pastor, made tortilla's, churros, and salsa from scratch. We also also made Esquites which I could not have enough of. Not only we got to watch and prep the stuff we also took part in cooking them. It was a lot of fun and I got to meet some great people. And in the end we got to enjoy the meal we prepared and I have to say it was delicious! And now I know how to make a different type of salsa. I recommend this event to anyone who enjoys cooking, eating food, and meeting new people.

Adorable little student restaurant right in the middle of the campus. It's a bit hidden, but well…read moreworth searching for! I took my son who is a student here so we could spend a little time together one day between his classes and I was absolutely amazed. The service was so friendly! The decor is nice with linen table cloths and napkins; you feel like you've been whisked away to a little 5 star restaurant. The prices are more than reasonable and everything we ordered was delicious! Many looked like little works of art. There were a few issues with organization, time management, etc of course but that is to be expected in a learning environment. I am so glad we found this little gem and I can't believe it wasn't packed full of people. I guess the secret's not out yet. I will be back the next chance I get!

This is the unsung jewel of Stockton! (My little private oasis)…read more These students cook their hearts out. There's white linen tablecloths. There's light music. There's even a few outdoor tables complete with a sun-umbrella. Sometimes you get a novice server but they're never rude. The food is a leap of faith: sometimes they knock it out of the park and on a few occasions it was average. But I've always LOVED something (or more than a few) things on my plate. They are much more accomodating regarding dietary restrictions, the veggies are fresh and so are the desserts! The desserts are to die for...you MUST leave space for dessert or else you'll hate yourself as you drool over something about to be devoured at another table. Last week I had a great chicken tagine and for the sweet stuff - chocolate lava cake with raspberry drizzle...OMG it was LUSCIOUS! Also, I took a friend to lunch here and as it was her birthday I asked the servers to sing "Happy Birthday" when they brought her dessert out. They did one better, they sang and wrote "Happy Birthday" on her plate in chocolate! You are NOT going to get this kind of food value in Stockton, I guarantee you. Hey - tip well, these students pool their tip $$$ for an end-of-the-school-year trip to the Bay for a culinary tour. INSIDERS TIP: They have a Student Chef Hot Plate Express inside the cafeteria. For $5.50, you get a hot entree with a carb and veggie - the most bang for your buck! Again, I've never been disappointed. They also have a cold counter where they have sandwiches and salads. No - they haven't paid me off. They deserve all the accolades and then some! Here's a link to the menu, but if you take my corner table by the window I'll have to kill you. Slowly. I'm just kidding. Well, not really. :) http://www.deltacollege.edu/dept/foodservice/student_chef/menu.html

I have NEVER had such a terrible experience with a business before. Absolute garbage program. This…read moreclass cost $177 a month (for 3 classes) and my kid has learned diddly squat and the portions of food he makes and comes home with is laughable. My kid has made pancakes (didn't pour them or cook them), no-bake cookie bites and "moose crunch". The pancakes he came back with were two cookie cutter size pancakes. There was 4 small No-Bake cookie bites. The moose crunch was literally Cheerios and a little bit of marshmallows and m&m candies in a snack size bag. There was no cooking whatsoever, he's done nothing but assemble ingredients and wash dishes. So he's come back home with $0.60 worth of ingredients. A $177 class! There is ZERO communication from this person. I got ONE email from her the entire time we were registered and it states they're going to charge parents for being late and will charge parents for takeaway boxes. This lady is LATE EVERY CLASS and she always ends the class early! Today was the ONE class my kids were to attend because SHE cancelled 2 of the 3 classes for the month so we got there at 10:00, as it says in the ONE email I got, and the lady at reception told me the class was moved to 9:30! This lady didn't bother emailing or calling or texting that there was a time change! I paid $352 for my two kids to NOT ATTEND EVEN ONE CLASS, and you better believe she doesn't bother reimbursing! I really wanted to love this program, my son absolutely loves cooking but WOW, I have never encountered such an unprofessional business ever. Don't waste your money, don't waste your time, you will be disappointed and what's worse, your kids will be disappointed.

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!

They offer desserts for sell( you make canoli in class) tirumisu, napoleon, cake and something else $10 a pop. Drinks around $10-13 ish. Class is very interactive. The instructor is lightweight a comedian. Now when you break out in groups you learn who can cook and who can't. Our chicken was completely overcooked. But the flavor was nice. Its a cozy setting so it would be a nice date night, girls night and even solo night. They group you in and include you in prep so you don't feel alone. They had people go help to help the chef make the salad and we ate that together while he started to prep the main course. Also they came around with some really good bread ( they will sell you some later). We have already signed up for another class. Give them a try. Oh bring your own apron or rent one for $5

The staff and chef were all very kind, knowlagble and funny. The chef and host of this class told many jokes, had us laughing and he picked on my husband all night but we loved it. They show you how to make each dish that will be prepared that evening, they share all recipes, and use one person to come up and help for each dish. You get to sample items throughout the learning process then everyone heads to the back in groups to take turns making a different dish for their group. Once all food has been cooked everyone returns up front to eat their meal they prepared. All of the food was delicious, we got to sample a couple shots of their Vodka which was really smooth and delicious. They also up sale their homemade desserts and they run about 10.00 per item. The desserta were yummy and we understand this is a non profit and that's how they support their foundation so we purchased a couple slices of cake. We will be back with our kids for other classes.
