This review is on the cooking classes offered at Sur La Table. We decided to take the Lunar New…read moreYears cooking class to learn how to make soup dumplings. The cooking place was pretty cool. There was flavored water to sip on while we waited for the class to start. The whole cooking experience was shared between 4 different people. The table is kind of small for us to work on especially with how many people attended the class. The kitchen had a tv to see what was going on but for some reason it wasn't facing the chef so it was pretty useless. The class has helpers to the chef which was very useful. There was someone to helped with cleaning dishes, someone to help us when we couldn't figure out what to do or if we had questions, and someone who helped create the prep of ingredients. Our teacher was nice but it felt like we rushed through cooking the dish. The important stuff was pre prepared which was kind of a bummer. Like the dough for the dumplings was kneaded already and the filling for the soup dumplings were premade. I was also kind of bummed to know that it's super hard to make the soup dumpling filling. We also made some stir-fry noodles and green beans. It was interesting to learn how green beans are prepared to be so crisp via blanching in oil.

Our chef made sure that we understood his instructions to prepare the meal. He emphasized the importance of "mise en place" which means having everything prepared in advance. Our meal was Seared Scallops with Champagne Beurre Blanc, Saffron-Scented Risotto with Peas and Prosciutto, and Chocolate Souffle with Salted Caramel Sauce. We started with making the Risotto. Each couple was matched with another couple and took turns with the preparation. There was a 10 minute break to give the class participants the time to walk around the shop. We finished the risotto and made the scallops. The souffle was the only portion of the meal that the students did not prepare. We enjoyed the experience and decided to take another class.

There were some last minute dietary restrictions for half of the group and Art rolled with it and was sure to not only accommodate them, but make something they LOVED! One colleague said it was his FAVORITE event of the week - and one he will remember for a lifetime. Thank you, Art!!

Javiar is an excellent teacher with explicit instructions and hands on help if needed. After each class we enjoyed the breads, cookies and foods we made and there is always enough to take home so you can share what you baked or cooked with your love ones. I have been making my own breads now since the first sourdough bread class I took at the studio. I enjoyed all the classes so much that I book whatever new ones come up as well as put myself on the wait list for ones I would like to participate in. No one would be disappointed at Vituperio studio, if they like taking hands on cooking classes. What a great place.

After class, we enjoyed our croissants and had a salad, family style. After that, we took home leftover croissants. I'm definitely going to take more classes.

She is a fantastic personality and knows so much about cooking to help make it accessible for those that are not comfortable with it. She is funny and chock-full of information...I picked up a bunch of great tips from her. The dishes we made were simple and were delicious. Thank you Robin and Joe for a great time!

I would definitely explore this as an option for parties, team-building, or a night out.

Oh my goodness, not only do you feel totally confident that you can cook these dishes on your own when you leave, before you actually leave you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Haneeda feeds you well! Do not eat before you come :) I'm not even joking when I say this was better than any Indian restaurant I've ever been to. She sends you home with all the recipes you made that day. Haneeda is so kind and generous and you can tell she really loves what she does and sharing her wealth of knowledge with everyone. I can't wait to come back and learn more!

Missed out on a birthday party here when my son was in preschool, due to vacation, but we made our…read moreway back for a summer camp class. We had a fun class with Ms. Jenna; she's very kind and conscientious. Most of my arts center experience is with Wallingford Arts Center (now Community Arts Center) having grown up close to it. I remember wearing smocks and play clothes to those classes as a kid because we got dirty and did cool artistic stuff! Wayne Art Center told us to send kids in clothes that can get dirty so I did, but none of the other kids were dressed in anything but their Target and Boden "finest," which was just so lame. I know it's Wayne and not the arts center staff. I don't blame them or Jenna; they're reading the room. Wayne = the movie Greener Grass. My bad. Aside from some tempera, he didn't do much with paints, used pastels once, and no charcoal or other mediums that could soil clothes. I guess here, it's a b!tchfest liability thing, but it's a missed opportunity to me because kids are capable of much more. I appreciate the staff for doing all they can. Like all things Wayne, it was professional, but like all things Wayne, it lacked the inspiration that my kind of art requires.

I really never knew that healthy cooking could be so tasty! I highly recommend taking one of her classes, even if you aren't vegetarian. She also knows how to cook for a wide variety of diets, so her classes are extremely helpful if you have a family member who is struggling with a food allergy or illness that requires a special diet.
