I fully recommend booking through AirBnb, because you'll get the most bang for your buck that way. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary because it sounded like we'd get something more than the average cooking class, and boy was I right. Rashaad was one of the most personable guys I have ever met. He was easy to talk to and seemed genuinely interested in our lives. Through pure happenstance, we were the only two people there that night, so we got a great, up-close-and-personal cooking lesson that I haven't ever heard of before. He taught us about the right way to cut things and how to balance spices not just in each component of the dish, but how to play the components off each other. There was a portion were we watched him do his thing and got to taste it. Then, it was our turn. He set us free to play with the cuts, the amounts of what we wanted, the spice blending. It was a ton of fun. I will be back.

If I had to describe Mirko and his cooking it would be meticulous, thoughtful, and utterly…read moredelicious. He is obsessively passionate about his craft and it truly shows in his character as a human as well as in the taste and presentation of his food. He is truly an artist at what he does and will no doubt, raise your pallet for what good food is. My taste buds still long for he and his wife Vanessa to be here in LA, as my dining experiences at home or in restaurants-- have never been the same since they have left. Florida: I envy that you are now blessed with a great team of chefs to make any occasion small or large a feast to remember! Bon Appetite

We visited Yada Yada pottery on a Saturday, and were informed of all the great, handmade items. We…read morereturned the following week to spend a little bit of time custom painting pieces that we selected for Christmas gifts. The gnome I selected was only $12. I bought cookies from the cafe, and my girlfriend enjoyed a coffee and muffin. We spent a relaxing hour at the table, taking our time to relax and talk. Another customer joined us and we had a really nice conversation about the holidays. Our pieces were left with the shop to be fired in the kiln; a few days later, we were called to pick up our pieces. My gnome turned out greater than expected; so good that I will not be placing it on the porch with our other small plants and gnomes. My girlfriend's pieces are going to make wonderful Christmas gifts. I wish I could custom make some gingerbread men and snowmen ornaments for our relatives that lost every in the recent floods. We will be returning soon to take pottery wheel classes, and to make custom dishes. Oh,,, while painting our pieces, I noticed that the brush holder cups, the cookie plate, and several other items in the shop were handmade. This is a great way to show the practicality of making things, and the creative ideas put to use. I felt very welcomed in this place of business, and look forward to returning many times in the future. Thanks Juliette (the owner) for answering all of my questions, and making me and my girlfriend feel comfortable and appreciated.

Today, we brought our Mom to Crafted Scent Bar in Mt Dora for a Candle making experience to…read morecelebrate her birthday. This business has great reviews on other sights and we really really loved this. We decided to do this while we were at lunch and we booked the 3pm session. All 5 of us got to pick from a huge selection of scents and we were allowed to combine as many scents as we wanted to use. There are several selections we could choose from to make at different price points and we all chose the middle price point option to create 10 Oz candles (1 each). The owners were present to help guide us in choosing what scents may complement each other. We were given the glass jars that we chose along with a wick to stick into the jar. After smelling the different scent samples that we were interested in and made our selections, we wrote them down on a card. The owner then brought us each of the scents we chose in individual bottles. We were also given beakers and small scales. We were then instructed how much total weight in scent that we needed to blend. For example, I chose 3 scents to blend, so I started out adding a few drops of each scent into the beaker and judged how much more of each scent to add based upon the smell. The more I added, the better it smelled. I blended Orange Blossom, Plumeria and Gardenia together. Once we had the proper weight in scent mixed, we were each given a pitcher of melted wax and a stick. We were directed to pour all of or beaker of blended scents into the melted wax and stir. Once we had thoroughly mixed our scents into the wax, it was then time to pour the now scented wax into the selected candle jars. The owner then gave each of us a tool to help keep the wick straight in the candle jar while our candles solidified. While they were solidifying, we walked down the street into some of the other shops. We returned a little more than an hour later to pick up our mostly solidified candles to take home with us. You are welcome to bring your own drinks with you. The shop sells already made candles and scents, tshirts, candle and tart accessories etc. the owner and staff (her Mom) are wonderful and enjoyable to work with. Our family really enjoyed this whole experience and recommend this for your family, your work team, friend group, church group, etc. we will most likely do this again and will bring friends to experience this with. All 5 of us chose the same price level making a 10 Oz candle in a beautiful colored glass container with wood lids at ($42 each). Yes you can buy candles fir less money, yes you can choose a less expensive price point....we really enjoyed the experience and the end products we created in their beautiful colored glass jars...and most importantly Mom enjoyed this as a Happy Birthday activity with her two adult kids and our husbands. Money more than well spent! Check out their website and book your experience soon...I think you will love this experience and the owners as we did.
