Standing at the front, the layout of the store felt really open. As we continued to walk around and browse, another staff member greeted us, asked if we were looking for anything in particular, and told us where we could find the clearance section because there were some good items on sale. They did have some cute kitchen items on sale, leftover from Easter and Mother's Day. Separately, I saw a whole section of items with a beautiful orchid design. I ended up getting a large kitchen linen with the orchids on it as a gift. Everything in the store always looks high quality, and I love shopping there!

I've taken multiple classes at Classic Cooking Academy over the years, and they never disappoint…read more Most recently, I completed their Asian cooking series--a six-week dive into the flavors of Vietnam, Korea, Japan, and Thailand. Every class was hands-on, delicious, and incredibly well-organized. Chef Andrew and Chef Jenny were fantastic--knowledgeable, fun, and great at breaking things down in a way that made everything approachable, no matter your skill level. The recipes were thoughtfully chosen, the ingredients were high quality, and the end result? Always something I was proud (and excited) to eat. It's the perfect mix of learning and fun. Whether you're looking for a night out with friends, a date night, or just something new to try, I can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back--again and again.

Very disappointing experience. The class did not match the description at all. The fillings were pre-prepared, we didn't make the dough, and we didn't prepare any sauces. Bao buns, which were listed, were not included at all. Our only hands-on activity was filling dumplings, and even those were cooked by the staff while we were already seated. Several participants asked about dough making and Bao buns, and the chef seemed unaware they were supposed to be part of the class. For $85 per person, this was not a true cooking class and we didn't learn anything new.

Having Chef Steven as part of our special day was perfect and if I had to do it again, I would 100% hire him back! Thank you for the amazing food and the memories. I still have dreams about the crostini and the sauteed sweet chili shrimp.

When he arrived at our vacation home for the weekend, he was on time and he was prepared, he came with everything he needed. We were enjoying some music and playing bachelorette games while we waited and he danced along with us while in the kitchen cooking. He was so cool and he fit right in, it felt like a friend or family was cooking for us. While we waited anxiously because the smell of the food during preparation was so good, he gave us fresh guacamole and chips and salsa. He made this amazing street corn appetizer that I don't think I can live without. WOW! The steak and pulled chicken were both cooked to perfection. We had corn tortillas, hard shell, pico de gallo, rice and beans the absolute works, and every topping your heart could desire. We also had this delicious shrimp salad that was so colourful and yummy to our tummies. Everything was seasoned to perfection and prepared just right. Let's not forget the unbelievably tasty margarita he made, I mean I was in heaven, I wanted to bring him back to Atlanta. Thank you for being so professional and responsive during the planning process. You displayed such a beautiful presentation of food and we had an absolute blast with you! I will definitely keep you in mind for future events. HE TRAVELS!! Thank you for sharing your passion with us, it was delicious!. Many thanks from us 12 ladies! You made our Bride to be so happy, she was very impressed!

Our 3rd Grade son started taking the LIFT Enrichment cooking class designed for elementary school…read morestudents this past year (2018 - 2019). LIFT Enrichment offered three sessions at our school - Fall, Winter, and Spring - and our child took two of the three. The classes begin immediately after school was dismissed for the day but since they took place at the actual school it made taking the class incredibly convenient for pick-up and drop-off. Our son loved the experience! He would could home on the afternoons he took class and was excited to share what he had learned that day. The menu items and recipes were age appropriate. Plus, at the end of each session, they would have a "tasting" and the students would cook for their guests (usually their parents). It was a ton of fun! All the kids were really engaged. I would highly recommend this class to other parents and we look forward to having our son continue his cooking education next year!

What started as a plan to head to Queen Creek Olive Mill for Garlic Fest turned into us deciding to…read moreskip the crowds and simply enjoy a delicious breakfast and that we did! Queen Creek Olive Mill is such a delightful place to spend some time. Of course, seeing the olives are fantastic, but their infused olive oils and the dishes they create with them are equally worth enjoying. There's something so relaxing about sitting outside in the shaded portion of the property, looking out over the grounds, and even taking a little stroll among the numerous olive trees. I ended up ordering the ricotta eggs on focaccia, and gosh darn, they were DELICIOUS. The white truffle-infused olive oil was absolutely the star of the dish. It added just the right amount of rich, savory truffle flavor without overpowering the creamy eggs. The focaccia was flavorful, perfectly suited for soaking up all those delicious flavors, and made the whole dish feel extra indulgent. My partner went with the bacon, potato, and ricotta breakfast sandwich, which he really enjoyed as well. It was hearty, flavorful, and a great choice for breakfast. Even though we originally came for Garlic Fest, we ended up having such a lovely and relaxing morning just enjoying the property and the food.

I especially love that you can sample many of the oils, jams and BBQ sauces before buying. I ordered from the Del Piero Kitchen and enjoyed the Mill Meatballs, which had great flavor, and the garlic Parmesan frites -- YUM! I also had a Hugo Spritz. A little sweet for me, but still refreshing. There are plenty of tables for small and larger groups, plus a bar where you can order drinks. I was tempted by the premade pasta and sauce dinners to take home, but decided to buy some wine instead. It was busy inside and quieter outside since we visited in mid-August, but they had the misters going. I can imagine how great the outdoor space and events are when the weather cools down. Definitely need to come back in the fall!

When you exit from Shea Boulevard, it will be the very first left you can make on 114th St. From there on in you will be in the office complex. Just follow the numbers to where the institute is. The complex may be new and the maps have not changed. You may get proper directions when you. Just keep this in mind. Have a safe trip. The institute is a school, and you will be served food by students prepared by students. At the end of the meal you will get a short form asking your opinion of the meal and service. The school has its own way of doing things. Please be patient with them, they are students. For example they will not seat incomplete parties. You can be less patient with established restaurants that do the same things. The service is fine the students personable. Despite our group ordering almost one of everything, the execution was timely. No one complained that any of it was bad. We were served, without choice a seared Tuna appetizer. Some in our party did not care for anything close to raw, and were unhappy. Soup followed, of which the Gazpacho, (a cold soup) was excellent. They served a Pasta dish of bucatini: with heavy cream and panchetta. It was done to perfection, with the pasta being almost aldente and the pancetta lightly browned on one side. Other selections were chicken, short ribs and salmon. Prices varied but not very much. Expect to pay $30 plus tip and drink. Some items were a little less. The meal included a dessert of German Chocolate cake, which was thick and dark, permeated by coconut and abounded with a thick frosting. Coffee is served on request. What's served is what I call "ingredients food": it's flavor come from the ingredients themselves. Little technique is required. although technique was required for the Gazpacho. Salmon or Short ribs need steady cooking, and they had no adornments. You must know how to cook them. The how is simple, because baking is the one method. This is a really good place to go. Aside from having a very good meal you help others. Life as a Guinie Pig is not so bad at the Arizona Culinary Institute. Lunch anyone?

Hello Everyone: I stumbled across Sweet Basil Gourmetware and Cooking School by accident…read more I went into the shopping center to pick up a To Go order from one of the restaurants, saw the sign, peeked into the glass and entered! This is a delightful store. If you know anyone who loves to cook and you are looking for the perfect gift, look no more. There is something for everyone in this store, including yourself! There is a also a section with pre-made sauces and other items such as starters you can select from which are a huge time saver and also a money saver since you are not buying ingredients in the grocery store for one dish. Plus, they have a cooking school. I have not taken any classes yet, since they are more of a team orientation with one demonstration day over lunch (and I prefer demonstration style), but for those of you who enjoy cooking classes with a hands-on style (rather than lecture and example), this may be the place for you. Their cooking school classes can be found on-line and have a wonderful variety each month, some with a theme for that month or up-coming holiday. I encourage you to check the location out, see what they sell, see if anything scheduled at the cooking school appeals to you, and look over the food section with items ready to purchase and enjoy. The staff were all very friendly when I told them it was my first time in the store so they could walk me through their intended concept. Enjoy!
