Helen takes time to ask everyone at the beginning what our questions are going into the class and what we hope to learn, and at the end of the class does a whole Q&A session. She prints of recipes, shopping guides, and includes links to her YouTube videos on the recipes, she even included a bonus recipe for us just because she thinks it's delicious. Helen is worth every penny, can't recommend her enough. It was a great date night!

Great food and…read more great service This is a review of a Holiday party for the New England Scientific Manufactures Association that was held at the Culinary Center at Gordon's. I'm not much for fancy type parties but I have to admit this was an impressive display of culinary talents. Chiefs Paul Turano and Anne Moynihan kept my unsophisticated palette entertained by such delicious, delicate and delightful creations like Mionetto Prosecco, wild mushroom and goat cheese tart, braised escarole and pumpkin bread pudding. At the end warm apple crostata and butter pecan ice cream filled up any remaining space in my cavernous gizzard. Some truly incredible food. In between courses different wines were passed and and discussed. Since I know virtually nothing about wine it was a fascinating and mesmerizing experience. I never applied such adjectives as zingy, fruity, silky, toasty, or round to booze before. The food was prepared on a table right in front of the audience and servers and chefs were personable, funny, entertaining and just as nice as can be. I learned that there is more to food and booze than just seeing how fast you can shove in down your throat. It hard to imagine a place to hold an event better than Gordon's Culinary Center. Oh yeah, they also sell a lot of cool booze in the store on the other side.

Sommelier Smackdown, once a Yelp event and now a monthly happening is just about the coolest event out there! Think of it like a "dinner and theater date" only, your theater is standing in front of you joking away as they cook your meal and battle to pick the best wine! $65 bucks gets you a four course meal, cooked right in front of you by Chefs Louie and Ian of Sel De la Ter and pours of 8 different wines, picked by well known Sommelier's around town! The Sommelier's battle to pair the best wine with each course as you are entertained by cooking jokes and quips like "Chuck Noris can smell what the rock is cooking, because the rock is his person chef" that fly through the air right next to wine knowledge and cooking tips! I must admit, I love it so much, I have been going to the last 3 months straight and plan of being a pretty permanent fixture! If you are really into wine, and wine makers, make sure to check out the calendar of other events and lots of well known wine makers come through Gordon's for tastings. Hope to see you at the next SMACK DOWN!

Sandy (a James Beard Award winner for his restaurant, Sanford, in Milwaukee) and his wife, Angie, are lovely human beings. They teach themed classes during the year and have a few three-day "New England Getaways" in the fall. Their classes are great for couples as well as small groups of friends who want to cook AND dine together. I cannot say enough good things about Good Stock!

I cannot recommend this cooking studio enough!…read more Our visit here was a birthday present for my girlfriend, and we both were very excited about taking a cooking class together. Well, we not only had a great time learning a new cuisine, but we made some new friends in the process. The studio is in a private home, so the setting is very intimate and private. So, if you have never touched a cooking utensil before, you are definitely in good hands here. If you have, then this becomes an art in learning new and exciting foods and the history behind them. After the food is prepared, we all sit down to dine together and engage in conversation over the meal in which we all took part in preparing. Such fun! Be aware that the studio is BYOB, but the studio does provide wine glasses and soft drinks. We had such a great time that we are hoping to do this again soon. If you enjoy cooking, have always wanted to try, wanted to experience food of different cultures, or all of the above, you owe it to yourself to go to HEAVEN ON EARTH !!!

Several days later, tracking showed UPS still hadn't received my order. Emailed customer service for an update. No response except a generic auto-reply. Several days later I tried to call the store and was told they don't handle online-shopping customer service; email is the only contact method. Two weeks after placing my order, since UPS still hadn't received my item, I emailed to cancel my order and get a refund. Still no response. Ultimately, I contacted my credit card to dispute the charge and, miraculously, within a couple hours Milk Street finally got back to let me know my order was canceled.

So, when I purchased an…read morein-home cooking lesson with Chef Jay as a birthday present for my vegan sister, I had low expectations. I couldn't have been more wrong. Chef Jay is very warm and communicative and was easy to work with when considering menu options and making final recipe decisions for our lesson. Everything can be tailored to your interests, tastes, and the degree of challenge you're looking to tackle. We decided on tofu parmesan, homemade pasta, and a summer tomato sauce. The food was absolutely delicious--I ate every bite! His teaching style is approachable and inclusive. The conversation was great, as well, making for an all-around wonderful evening. Even as a non-vegan, I would highly recommend booking Chef Jay for a unique date night, a team-building exercise, as a gift, or as a fun activity for the entire family. I joked that I never have to think again about what to get my vegan sister for her birthday, and I don't think she'd mind it one bit if this is what we did every year. 10/10 phenomenal experience!

We got demos for everything that wasn't made by us but enjoyed the foods that our chef chose for us to make, such as the burrata! We had wine, cheese, meat, and focaccia when we got there and made our dessert, burrata, and pasta before assembling the whole meal. There was plenty of food to take home and we left stuffed! Our class happened at the start of a snow storm so only about 14-16 out of 20 people came which helped create a more intimate setting.
