In the 'before days' pre covid pandemic I believe Blue Hen offered cooking classes in their…read morecommercial kitchen located in Boise's North End. But I discovered Blue Hen during 2020 when buying their delicious shortbread cookies for myself and as gifts. (Available via the Boise Farmers Market order ahead and drive through to pick up option or directly from Blue Hen.) The cookies are from tiny to small in size and come in savory or sweet varieties in creative flavor combinations and are as beautiful as they are delicious. They are also expensive. I am the kind of consumer who appreciates artisan product using top quality ingredients, as is so in these cookies, and the perfect fit of their unique packaging is delightful too. I am also the kind of consumer who virtually never makes a comment about prices being high, but for these cookies the prices really are that. Were I to get these as a gift I would be delighted. I know the people I gifted them to were. But to buy them for myself again at this price, probably not. Just as the people I gifted them to said "what?" when they checked price to consider buying some. That is not a criticism of the producer for needing to set a price that makes sense for them to be profitable as costs of ingredients rise. It is simply a fact that these cookies are luxury items at $13 - $39 box. See photos. https://www.bluehencooking.com/shop

I have new confidence to try saffron risotto at home. They must have made improvements since the reviews a year ago weren't stellar. There were 18 of us and it worked well. Tip: Consider the 10am or 2pm times because our 6om class didn't eat until 8:30pm. *I didn't get the message to BYO wine. That would have been a nice accompaniment.

Evan made an out of this world pumpkin mousse. They explained the ~why~ on why we add certain ingredients (like adding pepper in the pumpkin mousse desert, or why we cook down the mushroom for the beef Wellington). Couldn't have had a better time or experience.

I was in the area on Valentine's day and saw this bakery. I have been down Orchard a couple times…read morethis month and never saw it. I was pulling onto Orchard by the Idaho Youth Ranch and saw their sign. I needed to stop in and see what kind of goodies they had. Walking in, you're greeted by their menu. Lots of goodies to choose from. I appreciate that this bakery uses gut friendly sourdough. My friend who I normally buy my sourdough from decided to take a break from baking. So now I'm trying to find someone who can compare to her delicious sourdough. The store is awkwardly set up. Racks separating the bakery from the store front. If someone is standing in front of the bread rack, you're pretty much stuck until they move. The front of the bread rack is what leads to the front door. But, as congested as it was, the racks and shelves were perfectly stocked loaves of sliced sourdough bread, cookies and rolls. It was overwhelming trying to check everything out without fearing you might bump into someone. They only had a couple options for the sweet goods, I honestly thought there would be more for Valentine's day. There were quite a few options of savory goods. The lady behind the counter said they had a late start so that could possibly be why there weren't many sweets available. I did grab a red velvet cinnamon roll and some chocolate chip cookies for a couple of my Valentines. I was interested in getting a loaf of sourdough for my husband. The only loaves they had available were kinda small. I was hoping for something bigger loaf that would last us for more than meal. The cookies were a hit with my family. I did have some of my daughter's red velvet cinnamon roll. It was killer. The cinnamon roll was soft and flavorful from the chocolate. The frosting on top added an extra touch of sweetness. I only had a couple bites but I could have polished it off easily. Not gonna lie, those 2 things I got were pricey. The singular cinnamon roll was 7+ bucks. It was a decent size but pricey for just 1 roll. The cookies were 4 to a package and at a similar price point or more. For those 2 items my total was 20 bucks. With people budgeting their money now a days, bread and pastries from this joint would be considered a luxury. People want a good amount of bang for their buck. What I got today was good but I don't see myself coming regularly when there's other local bakers that can make the same product for a portion of the cost. My interaction with the gal behind the counter was ok. She was more chatty with a couple regular guests. I'm happy I got to stop into this local bakery and grab a couple things.
