We just joined Root Connection and couldn't be happier. It's an amazing place to take kiddos (they…read moreeven have their own u-pick lots!) to see how veggies are grown, there are even chicken that kids can feed. The veggies themselves are super fresh and it's a great variety. We've definitely had more variety when we were in CA since it's bigger farms but we still walked away with chard, Tokyo Bekana, 2 types of lettuce, delicious beets, herbs and more. Super happy to have access to the fresh veggies for the remainder of the season and having it be an interactive family outing and learning for our 2.5yo daughter. Stephanie and Claire are amazing and have such great customer service. Due to the heatwave we brought our fruit from the Redmond market in and in our rush, we forgot it there and by the time we got back, someone took it on accident. Stephanie called all the members with fruit pickups to see who mistakenly took it. To our surprise they found the person the day later and we're getting our fruit! (Was super sad since I couldn't find cherries and stone fruit of the same caliber at PCC yesterday).

I cannot put into words how valuable her work and contributions were to us and how good she is at what she does. She is worth every penny and more. I only wish we had found her sooner. Give her a try, you will be glad you did.

The team kept us laughing the entire time, answered all our questions, the food was genuinely delicious, and nothing felt stressful or chaotic. I for one took home some new methods that I have put to work in my kitchen. What really stood out was the experience itself. It is such a fun and accessible concept. You can lean in and learn or just sit back and enjoy, and it works either way. They also graciously let us stay past our allotted time without making our very chatty group feel rushed, which was very appreciated. Sorry! Highly recommend. Perfect for groups and just a really fun, memorable night.

I drove by this place recently and decided to take a glance and pulled up the class schedule. I was…read moreso surprised to find a class that would work for me, prices were high, but the location and concept sounded like such fun. I was able to score a Black Friday sale and opted to check it out. I often take my partner to classes like this, but since it sounded so intimate and it would be my kind of people I opted to go by myself and still had a great time. I guess it opened about a year ago, but I had not heard anything about it until I happened to drive by and I am in Edmonds all the time. This venue is so cute on the inside with plenty of easy street parking on a week night. I appreciated the check in beverage and snack while we waited for everyone to get there and get started. There are alcoholic options available for purchase and I must say this does make this class slightly superior to some others that do not offer these type of beverage options. They also give you an apron to wear so you don't have to stress too much about wearing something appropriate for cooking. The huge table for 12, allows for great views of everything and really gives you a chance to interact with your seat mates if you are into that kind of thing. This place is big so you don't feel like you are confined to your seat in a claustrophobic room like some other class room settings. The class I took was My Big Fat Vegan Dinner, I have taken lots of vegan cooking classes, but none quite as fancy as this. I appreciate that they show you all the ingredients ahead of time and give you a hand out with the recipes. We even sampled some of the vegan feta ahead of time, vegan butter was also present. Its a full meal experience, so you socialize, cook and eat. Our class was taught by a local chef and we learned a lot about him and his philosophies on cooking. We all helped with the prep, with some people taking on more intensive jobs and others just helping with the cutting. We learned quite a bit about different ways to chop things, even made a stock with the leftover cuttings. I absolutely loved the pita bread we made, who knew it was so easy. The pickles were delicious and this is definitely something I am planning to make at home in the future. I've never even had vegan spanakopita before. Everything was tasty and I certainly left full. The dessert we made was even served with 2 kinds of vegan ice creams. We were also lucky enough to take home some leftovers which made for a delicious lunch the next day. I've been telling everyone I know about this in the hopes that they will continue to add vegan friendly classes, but even if you prefer different kinds of food you should totally check this out. I am already eying Vegan in the Spring and trying to convince myself to sign up.

We chose the tapas selection…read more We have the space and wanted to watch her cook, possibly picking up some tips, so she prepared everything right there on the spot, no prep work before hand. We drank Champagne and watched her work, French music playing in the background. She is very personable and fun to be around. She is VERY French, only having been in the US for about 4 years. She uses fresh, organic, locally sourced ingredients. The food was simple and elegant without being pretentious. She is very accommodating to food sensitivities and desires. I am a vegetarian, so she didn't include meat in any of the dishes, since ours was a small intimate party. There were many options to choose from. We had; Veggie's veloute (Crème de carotte au gingembre et fromage de chèvre fouetté [Ginger and carrot veloute] - Crème de choux fleur au cumin et fromage de chèvre [cauliflower with cumin and goat cheese]; bruschetta a l'huile d'olive et à l'ail [Garlic bruschetta]; Salade de tomates cerises aux herbes, basilic et vinaigrette à la mangue [Tomato salad with herbs, basil and mango vinegar]; Filament de courgettes grillées au parmesan et a l'huile de truffe [grilled parmesan Zuchinis with Truffle oil]; and Perail fondant sur zeste de vinaigre balsamic [Perail Cheese with a zest of balsamic vinegar]. The presentation was lovely, complete with garnishes and the flavors were great. The meal concluded with a chocolate truffle torte. Beatrice used the items in my kitchen to prepare the meal, but can bring her own if that is what you prefer. She makes your kitchen, her kitchen. She cleans as she goes so there is never an out of control mess in the kitchen and cleans up like she was never there in the first place. She has many ways of handling the "experience". She can come completely prepped and cook at your place or it can even be a cooking class where the prep is interactive, totally your choice. She can choose or recommend wine for you. The options are unlimited. She will work with you to come up with the perfect plan for your event. I highly recommend Beatrice. It was a fun, interesting and very French evening.
