    I was nervous about signing up for the home cook course, felt vulnerable in a new environment in…read morewhich I had no skills or training in. I can't recommend this beginner course enough. Even after the 1st day my meals at home were suddenly consistent and significantly better. 12 weeks later and I am confidently relaxed in my kitchen. I enjoy the ease that I feel now; from preparing dinner, menu planning, temp control, and little tips you just can't learn on google. Learning in person from Chef Jason and Chef Ben with a group of funny, eager, and caring adults has really shaped how I can give back to my family. This was the common denominator for all the students in our course. We wanted to learn a new skill to share with the ones we care about most, our families. "I haven't made a sh**** meal since day one of this course" - quote from my fiancé Take the leap and invest in yourself and your family plus laughing about it along the way is always a plus.

    I am a home cook that wanted to deeper dive into cooking and to learn some new skills. I had a…read moregreat experience in the beginner cooking class at Culinary lab. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The class covered all the bases of what you could learn in a beginners cooking class. From potion, to fish, to veggies, to knifes skills it is a good balance. The pace was not too fast but not too slow. We would learn about a subject, watch the chef cook it and then do it ourselves. I really liked my chef instructor explained things thoroughly but not overly controlling. One of the best parts is you got to take your a recipe sheet home with everything you learned that day and the food that you made, my husband and my kids always loved that. Over all it was a great experience and I will be back for more classes!

    We had the most memorable evening at Chef Stephanie Chinchilla's chef's table. The experience was…read moreintimate, warm, and beautifully executed from start to finish...every dish told a story and every detail felt intentional. We began with the Aji tuna on crispy rice, topped with a delicate sliver of jalapeño and crispy shallots, a perfect balance of freshness, spice, and crunch. The second course was Stefanie's famous focaccia...one sweet and one savory. The savory version featured parmesan, her homemade bread and butter, pickles from her garden, and a touch of mustard seed. The bread, made simply with flour, water, and salt, takes two to three days to create. The sweet focaccia was equally impressive, topped with brie, honey, and a guava jam made from her own garden-grown guavas... truly special. Next came the sweet potato course, made from her garden's harvest and paired with roasted pine nuts and coconut-shaved gnocchi in brown butter. The flavors were rich yet comforting, and the presentation was artistic and thoughtful. The main course... short ribs with a stunning potato gratin, was a showstopper. The short ribs were tender and deeply flavorful, garnished with delicate edible flowers from her garden, while the gratin was layered beautifully and topped with a fragrant chimichurri. Dessert was one of the best I've ever had: a sticky toffee date cake with a caramel apple sauce made from apples in her garden, served with raw cream vanilla bean ice cream. The balance of warmth, sweetness, and texture was perfection. The wine pairings, thoughtfully curated by Oscar from Sequoia Grove Winery, elevated the entire experience, from the velvety Merlot to the bold Cabernet, every sip complemented the food flawlessly. What makes Chef Stefanie so special is her warmth and authenticity. She shares her passion for food and where it comes from in a way that's engaging and educational, never pretentious. She spends time presenting each dish beautifully, with an artist's eye and a chef's heart. Her artistry, attention to detail, and genuine love for her craft come through in every course. I'll absolutely be attending her future chef's table events, a beautiful evening of intentional cooking, soulful flavors, and gracious hospitality.

    I can't speak highly enough of the incredible experiences we've had with Stephanie Chinchilla.

For Christmas one year, my husband gave me the gift of her recipes. Every experience is top-drawer, from the incredible food, the personal touches, the elegant yet casual atmosphere she creates around every event. Her entire staff has been wonderful. After every event, people flock to us and ask for her number. She's Orange County's number one best kept culinary secret.

I tell my friends about this place all the time. I loved how passionate the owners were. They would close the place down for like a few months just to go to Europe to learn more. You must try this place if you live in the area or driving by. Check it out. If I was living back there I would go for the cooking classes.

    Duck Confit and cassoulet....was my favorite meal at Rick and Diana's restaurant, Black Sheep…read moreBistro. I cried when they closed. Now Rick has created an AMAZING cooking class for up to twelve people. It is really a "hands on" experience that tastes just as good as the restaurant served. I asked a friend who has a bigger kitchen than mine to "host" the event. Each person paid $40 to cover the cost of the class and the cheese and crackers served before the lesson started. Rick is extremely organized and had done all the prep work, i.e. soaking the beans. He got everyone involved, including a man who had never cut up a duck before. We were served duck four different ways, including an appetizer, a salad and the DELICIOUS main course. Each couple got to take home leftovers which were even better the next day. Even more incredible was that Rick and Diana washed all the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen before they left !!!!! This event has been the talk of our group!!!! We plan on having them prepare dinner for us again soon !!!

    Great Food, But the Experience Needs Work!…read more My boyfriend and I attended a Sur La Table hands-on cooking class, and overall, the menu and food were great. Everything we made turned out really well, and the concept is fun. That said, there were a couple things that took away from the experience. First, be prepared to stand the entire time, including while eating. After about two hours of cooking, you're still standing while trying to enjoy your meal. By the end, I was honestly just ready to leave and ended up rushing through eating. Second, and more importantly, we were paired with another couple, making it a group of four. Meanwhile, other couples were not paired up. This meant we had to share tasks and the experience, even though we paid the same price. We came to cook, not to watch another couple cook part of our meal. For the price, I would expect a more consistent and fair setup across all groups. Sur La Table has a great concept and great food, but the experience could definitely be improved.

    I took the Handmade Holiday Treats class at Sur La Table and it completely exceeded my…read moreexpectations. In just two hours, we somehow managed to make fudge, marshmallows, caramel turtles, and bark--which still feels a little unreal. Jessica was AMAZING. She kept an almost full class organized, on schedule, and stress-free while making sure nothing went wrong (no small feat when working with hot sugar). Her passion for what she does is obvious, and she shared so many helpful tips along the way. I'm comfortable in the kitchen, but this class reminded me there's always something new to learn. Huge thanks to Sur La Table for a fantastic experience, and an even bigger thank-you to Jessica for making us all look like pros by the end. Would absolutely take another class with her!
