    Raspberry souffle
    Misha S.

    Going to cooking classes is one of my favorite things to do with my husband (despite the fact that he's often MUCH better than me at difficult, detail oriented recipes) Most of the experience I have with cooking classes has to do with the Wholefoods classes at the Lamar culinary center- so most of my expectations were set from those events. I think one of the things that surprised me is that this is not a completely hands on course. My husband and I went to a class specializing in soufflés - and most of the class involved the instructor showing us what to do and letting us taste the finished results. Though she did let us complete some of the easier recipes, it seemed as though she was rushing through everything else and didn't trust us to do the more complicated recipes for ourselves. If you're familiar with the film Ratatouille, you know that Chef Gusteau's prime belief was that anyone could cook. I truly believe that the instructors here didn't really follow that philosophy. I was hoping I could at least use my notes to help me recreate the recipes in the future - but unfortunately, I was never emailed the recipes after the class as was promised, which was a bit disappointing. Also, if you're into wine - it's important to note that you are charged for glasses of wine if you want to sip some during class, while classes elsewhere tend to include complimentary wine. Personally, I'd be willing to try Silver Whisk again - but I definitely feel that the classes here are designed to be more of an event you go to, rather than something you learn from.

    My wife and I attended the Kitchen Basics class here and it was an OK experience. The "basics" class is super basic... like no joke. If you've ever cracked an egg by yourself before, then this class is probably too basic for you. But still, we did manage to learn a few things here and there, like the proper way to handle kale. As other reviewers have mentioned, just keep in mind that this is more of a "participation" class than a "learning" class. CHEF: I don't know what to make of Chef Myrna. She was wearing a cupcake sweater and a pair of bright pink tennis shoes. She didn't look like a real chef and she barely did any cooking or demoed any cooking skills. She just kept making pop culture references to Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears. I get what she's doing -- reference to weird events is one of the best ways to memorize technical contents -- but her jokes were simply not to our taste. I mean I know her credentials as a chef but dressing appropriately in a kitchen is also part of being a good chef IMO. CLASS: We didn't do that much cooking. Appetizer involved dicing vegetables and sauteing them together (the most involved dish). Entree involved rubbing a piece of meat with dijon mustard. Dessert involved whisking together milk, eggs, and sugar. I'm not simplifying anything. These are literally the only "tasks" we had to do. For the rest of the time, you can purchase glasses of wine to sip on then. Even though we didn't do much work, the food was actually quite tasty (especially the appetizer soup). Btw, the knives they give us were some of the dullest knives I've ever used. Dull knives = more chance of cutting yourself. ORGANIZATION: This is probably their biggest problem. When I called in to make the reservation, I was told that each class is usually about 6-8 people and that they want to keep the class size down to provide a more personal experience. Our class had 26 people (wow!) and I think their max capacity was 24 (4 groups of 6). They also didn't seem to have ANY IDEA of how many people they were expecting. People just keep coming in and they didn't even have enough ingredients ready. The saddest part is that our group didn't even get to use a silver whisk! We got this tiny pink whisk that looked like it came from a kid's play kit =( Overall, it was a fun date for my wife and I on a Saturday afternoon. We didn't learn much but at least the food tasted good. It would be interesting to try out one of their more advanced classes. We received this class as a Groupon gift and I would recommend others to use Groupon as well. We would have felt ripped off if we had paid full price for this class. P.S. We actually received the recipes a few days later in the email! We feel so lucky!

    Sitting pretty...

    This review is based on food we had catered to our office for lunch. By all accounts, the owners…read moreare wonderful, worked well with our staff, and most of the veggies in the food they grow themselves. Which is wonderful to know. We had veggie and chicken tikka masala, as well as a cashew quinoa salad. All FANTASTIC, fresh, delicious, and clearly healthy. The veggie tikka had quinoa, and both dishes were full of delicious fresh veggies, including brussels sprouts, green beans, cauliflower, carrots, squash, and more. The chicken was tender and delicious, and the sauce flavorful, but not overpowering the food at all. The vegan brownies I initially resisted trying (because . . . vegan brownies?). But actually they were very good, extremely moist, and tasty. I wish there was a restaurant. But in the meantime, I sure hope we get them catered in again. OFTEN.

I think I need a unique option for a group of friends... or my office party. Or I really want to be a part of a really cool dinner evening in the middle of herb and vegetable gardens... it's pretty cool when we walk through the gardens and pick what we eat. Really. I've done quite a few events at the SicolaGardenHouse... both as guest of other events as well as hosting my own. And they have it all. I'm always looking for conversation points and unique options when it comes to dining... whether I'm considering a special evening for family, for networking, for friends, for colleagues, or for a date. I call Sarah up, she asks me what I'm looking to do... she remembers what I've done in the past, and then she helps me make the perfect event. The food is absolutely amazing... better than I've had at most 5-star restaurants. I've traveled the world and nearly the entire country. I've yet to find a dining destination as cool as the Sicola Garden House. You don't have to have all the answers (Sarah will help you), you just have to call. And the Sicola's remind me I can bring my favorite bottle of wine :) Excited for my next event!

    We recently used Chef Mike at NOLA Kitchen for a private corporate event. From initial conversation…read moreto dinner execution Chef Mike was on point. I reached out to establish a menu, he made some helpful suggestions and was flexible around timing. Deposit paid. Prior to our engagement he confirmed times and menu items and asked about any changes, we had a minor reduction in headcount which was no problem. Day of Chef Mike arrived on time with all the required items to cook and the ingredients for his recipes. Truly, everyone had a blast! This was dinner for six at an AirBnB in Austin, he's done this type of thing quite a few times and can enter AirBnB's with a passcode to start preparing if you or your guests are running late. Very accommodating overall. As far as the food was concerned, YES! Amazing. Everything from the appetizers to salad to main and finally desert. The hero of my meal was the Crab Salad with Ragivote dressing and the Crawfish Etouffe, stellar food. He also gave a bit of a breakdown of Creole/Cajun history. I would 100% book Chef Mike again. I know our group was smaller than usual for him but he was super accommodation. I would recommend him for any corporate event catering or group private dining in the Austin area!

    Chef Mike catered a Sunset Valley Cajun event for 120 people and the food was wonderful.
