My wife and I joined the 4-hour LA Seafood Market Tour (tour + cooking class) last month because my…read morework has wellness reimbursements. Truthfully, it is quite pricey for a cooking class so without the reimbursement, I may not have signed up, but I am glad that I did and we had a great time. Upon signing up, I get a detailed set of instructions which include when and where to meet, what to wear, what to bring. I appreciate the instructions and hopefully people do read it. The class first met at an LA Japanese fish market. I have never been to one before so it was interesting to see. It was very cold inside so bring a jacket (the jacket part was in the instructions). Our instructor Yoko gave us the tour, walked us through all the different tables and explained the history/facts behind them. A fun and informational tour for sure, but the market we went in was a smaller market and not the bigger wholesale market, which was slightly disappointing. After the tour, we all drove to the building where the cooking class took place. Unfortunately it was not walkable between the fish market and the building, but there were plenty of free parking on the cul-de-sac around the corner. That street doesn't look like the cleanest street (maybe a normal LA street), but nothing happened to our car and we didn't see any shady characters. Good enough for us. We followed the instructions to get to the classroom on the 4th floor of the building (basically we call a phone number and get buzzed in). The classroom is a long room with a very long cooking table in the middle and that's where the magic happens. For the next 3 hours, Yoko taught us how to prep fishes that she bought the previous day into multiple dishes. Along the way, she also shared the history and stories behind certain ingredients and dishes, which made the class truly special. I don't want to spoil anything here, so you just have to go see for yourself. The class was small with only ~10 students so each of us got to take turn to do everything. My wife and I both learned a lot from Yoko's expertise and from the hands-on cooking, including gutting a fish which I could not have imagined doing due to my fear of fishes...but I did and it was a precious experience. Eventually, we finished our multi-course meal and enjoyed the food together, everything was delicious. I will be looking out for other classes soon!

You can tell he really enjoys what he does and that's always a bonus. He creates a very inviting space and in return it allows you to interact with your neighbors and share a meal at the end.

We met Chef Michael while he was volunteering at Christmas community event in City Terrace where his food was just Damn good! The Lime Chicken dish was simply divine and made everyone feel welcomed. Days later, he and Tanya personally came to our house to attend our family Christmas party! They fit right in with genuine smiles, warmth, and a really thoughtful and lovely gift. They really didn't have to go out of their way to show us the level of hospitality and kindness they did but if they show even 1/2 the level of generosity they did did in our first few encounters on our service with Plate Mate, I have no doubt we'll be life long customers. It's really hard to find that level of compassion and absolute care when it comes to working with vendors. For us and our business, it's not just about working together as much as it is having a real and honest working relationship. Definitely not going anywhere else for our catering needs, we're family now! So thankful to be the first one to write a review here and kick of the 2020 by wishing these guys the best success!

I hosted a Maiden Kitchen class at my apartment yesterday, and we all had a complete blast!…read more I found out about the company via a Goldstar deal, and I have to say, it was such a steal! Marlene was a delight, really funny and fun to be around, and she taught us a lot of fun, easy things to make! We chose her sushi menu, and that included veggie spring rolls with a dipping sauce, edamame, miso soup (so yummy! I want to make more RIGHT NOW!), a ton of different rolls and nigiri (with albacore, salmon and ahi, I believe), diablo sauce (the guys had fun trying to out spice each other), and a really, really delicious sake-based sangria. Everything we made was really yummy, all the ingredients were fresh, and Marlene made every really easy and fun. Also, it was very unexpected, but Marlene even washed the serving plates and glasses we had used during the class! I totally did not expect that, but was very appreciative that she went that extra mile to try to make everything (even the clean up) easier for us. It's that kind of service and attention to detail that makes me want to be a repeat customer. If the five of us had gone out for sushi and drinks, I guarantee that we would have spent a heck of a lot more, and not had as much fun or learned anything. Maiden Kitchen cooking parties are SO much fun, and I can't wait until I have an excuse to have Marlene back again and to try a different menu (she has so many awesome menus to try!). Thanks again SO much for a fantastic experience! I hope my friend can use your company for her bridal shower :)

I was pleasantly surprised with what Maiden Kitchen had to offer! First, Maiden Kitchen is so affordable. We were able to have an alcoholic beverage (phenomenal Sangria), an app, entree, and dessert! Ordering all that at a restaurant is just not in my budget right now. Maiden Kitchen was such a fun alternative. The food was delicious! I am not one you will find in the kitchen but under the supervision of Marlene (our Maiden Kitchen chef), everything turned out amazing! We made hummus, pita bread, salad and salad dressing, rice, chicken, baklava. The best part was that we were each provided with the menu, ingredients, and recipe so that we could recreate the meal on our own! Marlene has such great energy that only added to the fun my group of friends was already having. She did not hesitate to jump in or answer a question anytime one of us shouted her name. It was really a pleasure working with her. Oh, and the best part....Maiden Kitchen brought everything we needed and used to my house! Marlene brought all the ingredients, cooking bowls, etc, and dishes! Clean up was a piece of cake!!!! I would highly recommend Maiden Kitchen to others. I am in a wedding this spring and I am trying to talk the girls into doing a Maiden Kitchen event for the bridal shower or as part of the bachelorette! FABULOUS EXPERIENCE!

As soon as I agreed to spend some time with Bekah in the kitchen, I instantly felt anxiety and a bit of panic. How hard was it going to be? And more importantly, how would everything taste? However, the moment I walked into the kitchen my worries went away, as I could tell I was in good hands. The music playing in the background was soothing and appropriate for the theme of the meal (Italian), the kitchen was spotless, and we were ready to go! We whipped up a vegan bruschetta as an appetizer, handmade pasta (cacio de pepe) as the main meal, followed by a chocolate mousse for dessert. I said "whipped up," because that's exactly how it happened! Bekah provided demonstrations along the way with helpful tips and pointers. Seriously, you can ask her anything! Her knowledge extends far beyond the recipe at hand- cooking utensils, substitutable ingredients, etc., no question is off limits! I left Bekah's having not only had a fun time in the kitchen, but with a serious confidence boost for my potential in the world of vegan creations in my own home! Bekah, keep spreading the vegan love. Hope to see you in the kitchen very soon!

Rebekah's warm welcoming attitude helped me step up and try something new. We started out with veggie spring rolls and peanut sauce, which was such an amazing way to start the meal.

Rebekah gave me the confidence to get up and try new knife skills and introduced new flavors I never would have thought of. Then we ended with sweet coconut sticky rice and mango. I never knew how delicious rice could be. Rebekah's home atmosphere was welcoming. You wouldn't have known if any of the guests were strangers beforehand or longtime best friends, Rebekah treated us all with the same kindness. This would be a great activity single, as a date night, or with a group of friends. I highly recommend and will be back for another lesson soon!
