My favorite go to store when I am looking to buy higher end quality kitchenware for my home or…read morefamily as a gift. The store carries a wide selection of cookware, kitchen tools, cutlery, coffee machines, cutlery, bakeware and the list goes on and on. As cooking at home is a passion for me and having the right quality tools is an absolute must, the stuff I buy here I view as an investment where I am looking for good performance that will hopefully last a lifetime which justifies/warrants the premium you will pay at this store. For my most recent purchase here I ended up buying a 4 qt Staub Basil colored dutch oven here to add to my home cookware where I already own multiple cookware/bakeware of this brand also purchased from this store. I took advantage of Staubs year end sale where Williams and Sonoma had the color I was after (Basil). where it was not even available on Staubs web site due to the popularity of the color. Also Staubs on line sale price were for factory seconds (small blemish or possible small chip) and the one I got had no such defects. Nice! Overall if quality kitchenware/cookware is the overriding factor for you, than Williams Sonoma is exactly the store you should be shopping at. Top brands and top quality put this store in a different category than most where discerning customers/home cooks like me will appreciate what they have to offer.

I found a table runner online that I wanted to gift my Thanksgiving hostess but needed to pick up…read morein store for timeliness. I Love going into this store because they have such gorgeous tableware on display, so many lovely baking things (I'm a sucker for different Bundt pans) and numerous drink mixes, cake mixes, sweet treats, spices, and cocoas. The staff are always very knowledgeable and helpful. If you love to cook, host or entertain, or need a special gift for someone who does, I highly recommend browsing in W & S. You may just find yourself saying, "1 for you, 2 for me!"

Mary has been cooking and has been teaching cooking for more than 20 years. This is a place where…read moreyou'll understand what food is, what are basic, necessary elements to a dish, what elements go together, where to buy the groceries from, what liquor, wine, beer, alcohol or non-alcoholic drink would pair the best with the dish. She has an extensive knowledge about food, wine, restaurants, ingredients and holistically culinary art. She can cook different cuisines from French classic to Italian pasta, which will make you wonder why you shouldn't pay more than $15 for a pasta at a restaurant. The sea food classes are from fresh lobsters, clams, etc., from the east coast. She has the seafood ingredients flown in during the right time of the year, that's the reason you'll get limited seafood classes. I highly recommend at least one seafood class. The bourbon class has been a hit since last few years (approx. 7) and you'll understand what can you do with a simple Jim beam. The Indian cuisine is made with the exact Indian ingredients you will get in India, and spoiler alert, she will tell you the exact place you can buy turmeric and black pepper for $2 and not $20. What's the difference between a store bought mayonnaise vs homemade mayonnaise, real vanilla vs the imitation vanilla, when are where you should pay for food and why, and when are where you shouldn't waste your money on expensive food and why. The Mexican town tour is a must attend. Mary and her team will take you to Mexican town and have you taste the authentic Mexican cuisine, suggest places you should buy your fresh ingredients. Obviously Taste A Cook's Place is a success because of the entire team. Sammy has been an excellent cook, Baker, server and a helper in the kitchen. She has been vegetarian for last 5-6 years, but knows how to cook a chicken breast and steak. All this comes from Mary and her training. Mary Christopher has been an excellent Baker and her preciseness towards perfection is an example of how a baker should be. Jen is an excellent helper and will be focused on her test, and will work faster and concentrate on quality. And if you have gotten this far reading the review, you might wonder how do i know these things, and why i appreciate this place so much; it's because Mary and her team has made this business into a family, and experience and you can't beat what you get here. You will hear a lotta stories alongside cooking instructions and you will walk out with an intention to open your own restaurant. You pay a reasonable dollar amount (approx $70-$90, depending on the menu) and you get (5-6 dishes) a salad, an appetizer, a soup, two main dishes, a dessert, etc. You are allowed to bring your own wine and you get to take home the recipe with all the hidden secrets, so next time you invite your friends over, you can serve then the best pierogies (polish dumpling) they have ever eaten. 5/5 star.

I realize that this place is called "Taste," however, be ready to engage all five senses when you…read moreattend any of Mary's cooking classes. I have been attending cooking classes with Mary for several years now, and have developed quite a huge stack of recipes from those classes! After my first class (which was a Julia Child-themed class I believe), I was HOOKED... The smell of wonderful things cooking right before your eyes (like interactive LIVE Food Network!) and the relaxed, laid back atmosphere are some of my favorite things about Taste. Of course, my absolute favorite is how wonderfully delicious the food is, and that I usually have to ask for to-go containers because they give you very generous portions of the food that is prepared in each class. The recipes and tips that Mary gives while cooking each dish are priceless, and you can ask her anything during class to help you when you are in your own kitchen at home. The staff is very friendly and eager to accommodate any needs that you might have. Mary is also very knowledgeable about where to purchase and how to purchase various ingredients, like where to buy the best fish and what it's supposed to look like and smell like, or where to go to get the best phyllo dough, and the best (and fastest) way to drain spinach, etc., etc., etc... If you are looking for a pretentious, overpriced, meager-portioned food encounter, go spend your hard-earned money elsewhere. But for a much better value, and the most outstanding food, and the best cooking experience, look no further than Taste: A Cook's Place in Northville, and at www.tasteacooksplace.net/cooking_classes for the latest schedule.

HFWB also offers a series of healthy cooking classes and if this was a preview of what those classes are like, I plan to become very familiar with DK.

VistaCenter at Schoolcraft College has undergone extensive renovations since my last visit. Main…read moreStreet Café is now more prominently located compared to the last to-go shop, visible as soon as one enters. The café is bright and airy, offering grab-and-go foods and beverages. I was in awe of the variety offered to students. As a college student, I would not have been able to afford most of the items in the pastry and refrigerated cases. I noted the containers of soup and beverages available, even the break-apart cookie dough to bake some cookies for a midnight study break. I got the chocolate chip cookie dough for a friend who later texted me a photo of some of those tasty-looking goodies. On to the pastry case. Oh goodness, I could have one of everything. Instead, I limited myself to the chocolate-almond croissant, maritozzi, and lemon cake. When warmed up, the flaky croissant shattered at first bite and oozed dark chocolate. I loved the sweet and subtle taste of the almond paste. The orange-flavored maritozzi was good. The brioche dough was not as tender as I would have liked, though expected since it was later in the day. The cream center was incredibly light and complemented the overall flavors. I appreciate the school instructing students on traditional items (croissants, biscotti) and trendier-to-me foods (maritozzi). Service was earnest, but given that school had just started, there was a bit of confusion.

First, let me say the selection here is amazing. It's completely overwhelming how many options are…read moreavailable. There are beautiful displays to help spark your imagination and the pricing is very large and clear so if you are working with a contractor with a per square foot price range you are in good shape. And, what they have on the floor is in stock (you can generally see it sitting there.)Product selection and availability are definitely not the issues. So, what is? Service. They just haven't figured that out yet. The person I feel for the most is the cashier. I have now tried checking out twice and the illegible UPC codes typically printed on the depth side (yeah like a quarter inch deep) are distorted and impossible to scan. Two out of two times she has had to either go get a legible code or stand there calling for assistance that never comes. I had to go run and get a couple different samples hoping one might scan easier. So, if one person is in front of you in line it will take no less than 10 minutes to checkout. And then on the floor, you have people very willing to help but you have to stand there as they go rushing by saying "I promise I will be right with you". So I am not saying the people don't want to help you, it's just there are bad systems and processes that make it really difficult for them to do it.
