    I have always wanted to take a cooking class but the opportunity never presented itself. Thankfully…read moreI was a lucky winner on yelpmiami's IG contest and scored 2 tickets to any class in September. I jumped on the online schedule and picked the sunday class "a chicken in every pot" instructed by Chef Robin. When we got to the class 2 others were supposed to join but never showed. Therefore my friend and I had an unexpected private class! Chicken. Might sound boring right? Well can you actually roast a whole chicken with it getting beautifully brown and stay juicy? tie a chicken? cook a crispy and flavorful chicken provencal or saltimboca with an amazing sauce that I wanted to stick a straw in and drink? We learned all that and some. We learned great tricks on how to do the above items which may seem basic but with tips to truly take your cooking to the next level. Actual chef secrets that you can use in everyday life! While most of the fun was learning and cooking we also got to taste our dishes. The dishes blew my mind with how good they were. It was a lot of food since we made three dishes so chef robin was kind enough to give us containers to take most of it home. This was such a fun and educational foodie time. Perfect for date night, girls night, team building, or really just anyone who loves to learn, cook and eat. Thanks Chef Robin for a great class! And thanks Yelp Miami for the opportunity to sharpen my kitchen skills!

    Usually I'm just tasting food, but tonight I was actually cooking the food too since I had the…read morepleasure of attending tonight's "Classic Cuban with a Twist" with celebrated blogger Ana Sofia Pelaez and my +1. I'm not much of a cook so I did exactly as I was told to the best of my ability. We chopped veggies, made/rolled dough, added and combined ingredients all in the right sequence. In the beginning, I was so afraid to make a mistake that at times I may have been too slow but eventually I got the hang of it. Thanks to Ana and Robin we were able to make dinner and dessert in a very efficient and timely manner. We first prepared dessert, the Tarte Tentacion, so that we could put in the oven while we prepared dinner. The crust was probably the hardest thing to make here. We had to sift together all of the dry ingredients and pulse it in the food processor. Then add butter and pulse it again until the butter flakes formed pea-size pieces. Then add ice water to just hold it together. We then took this out and smeared it across a board and formed a mound of dough. We rolled this dough until it was the size of the circular pan and this dough eventually baked as the bottom crust once we turned it over out of the pan. This crust tasted amazing. Can't believe we made that ourselves. After dessert started to bake, we prepared the Ropa Vieja and Calabaza con Mojo at the same time. We combined a lot of spices and chopped a lot of veggies in a timely manner. Ana advised on how and when to heat all of the ingredients and when to combine them properly with the shredded beef. The food came out really fresh and tasted great. Nothing was too oily or salty. It was just right. Our dinner was served with white wine, a nice pairing. My Cuban +1 noted that this was the best Calabaza he's ever had and I promised not to tell his abuela. IN THE KITCHEN with Norman Van Aken is a culinary school and is for enthusiasts of all levels. Classes are led by guest teachers, famed chefs, food artisans, etc. from America and abroad. They are inspired by a passion for food while not being defined by boundaries. This location has 3 businesses: cooking classes, restaurant, and rooftop lounge. Thank you Ana and Robin for showing us how to cook at IN THE KITCHEN and a great big thanks as always to Diandra and Yelp Miami for these amazing experiences.

At…read morethe very least, I promise you will meet new friends and enjoy a night contributing to Miami's beautiful art community. Cristina is so patient explaining how pottery works and encourages you to be playful with what you create. Adam is also very helpful offering any advice, together they make a great team. The attention to detail does not go unnoticed, and they make everyone feel welcomed (this is very important because I understand it can be scary/intimidating to try new things! they put any fears to ease) Luckily I had the opportunity to glaze a few of my pieces, which is worth the money! I was so pleasantly surprised how quickly my pottery was fired, considering how long the process can take from start to finish. I have been to multiple OCISLY events, but one of my favorite memories was crafting matching swan coffee mugs with my partner. It was so fun to do side-by-side while surrounded by creative energy and good vibes. We cherish these mugs and pull them out often smiling at the subtle unique imperfections that make each one beautiful. Thank you to OCISLY for an amazing memory that will last for years & years. We look forward to many more clay dates!
