Ever since Publix Aprons Cooking School closed, I've been looking for a cooking school that has fun adult classes. The Kitchen House has just started a monthly "book club" called Plot to Plate where they feature a book that relates to or includes recipes. This month was Lessons in Chemistry so my friends and I decided to attend. We bought our tickets in advance as classes can sell out. The classes are different prices depending on what the class is. The house is in a residential neighborhood in College Park and does not have a dedicated parking lot so I would suggest getting there early as you have to find a spot along the street. When we arrived, we were greeted and given a welcome drink, in this case Cardamom Decaf Coffee because it was cold out. One of the instructors said that normally we would walk the garden at the beginning of class and also eat outdoors but since it was cold, we were going to skip the garden and eat inside. Once everyone arrived (cooking classes can have up to 20 people), we met in the lobby to start talking about different themes of the book. Then it was time to wash up and go to the kitchen. All the ingredients were set out for us and we picked the Veggie Pot Pie table with other attendees. The instructor gave us some knife skills lessons and then we all started cooking, using the recipes at our station. Each station makes one recipe so you don't get to make everything. And, the instructors and volunteers don't show you how to make everything first (like Publix Aprons used to do). But, if you just dig in and start going, it is a lot of fun. We had some questions along the way, like is there a spatula we can use? Or, is this the flour or the cornstarch? The volunteers were great and answered everything in a friendly way. As it said you could do in the welcome email we received before the class, some folks brought their own wine and the Kitchen House provided glasses and would pour for you. I think if we go back, we would definitely bring our own wine. My friends and I made the drop biscuits for the Veggie Pot Pie, which were surprisingly easy to make. We were finished early so we also make the Brownies for dessert that used olive oil and maple syrup instead of butter and sugar. When everyone was done cooking, we gathered in the lobby again while the volunteers cleaned and set up the table for dinner. Then, it was time to eat! Dinner was served buffet style and the Kitchen House split our food for people who had different dietary restrictions. For example, some of the recipes used non-dairy alternatives as some people in the class were lactose intolerant and one person had a mushroom allergy so they got a small spinach gallette instead of the mushroom Gallette for everyone else. As we sat down to eat, we discussed the book more in depth. Everything tasted great and we had a wonderful time. We received all the recipes in an email after the class so we could make the foods at home. I will definitely be looking at other adult classes here.

I called and they seemed most eager to help but as time went by, I never heard back(either they are very good or busy due to the economy). I tried one last time and their representative got back with a "ballpark " estimate based on my input and general measurements. The price seemed reasonable so I went to their showroom on 17th street to see their product line. They have an extensive inventory of woods and finishes in addition to marble and granite to fit most price ranges. Mark came over and took measurements to confirm mine and offered some ideas on design. After a couple of visits, we hired cabinet solutions and look forward to seeing their "magic" in about one month. Wow! The cabinets came in about as expected and the quality is top notch. The installer was professional in his approach and tried to limit the noise volume in our building. The marble countertop piece is still to be installed as well as the cabinet faces and hardware but the space is shaping up and I am pleased with their work so far. Allure Marble delivered the top and the finished product looks great( see pictures before and after)

This project has been a complete nightmare! We have had 4 different project managers (each of whom left the company). After 8 months, we were forced to hire other contractors at our own expense because Cabinet Solutions would not complete the work. Worst of all, even after we paid the balance in full to avoid any property liens, they still refused to pay one of the subcontractors until 9 MONTHS after the work was done. Galina, the owner, refused to return any phone calls to discuss the issue. In building and remodeling nearly a dozen homes over the years, we have never had such terrible, unethical service.
