Okay, so, I am not a great cook and never mastered basic cooking techniques. I love food, but can…read moreeasily become frustrated if something I cook just doesn't turn out right. My boyfriend and I wanted to try a cooking class for our anniversary, but the costs for going to a public cooking class are often very high. My boyfriend stumbled upon Jesse's website and it seemed really cool (and has pretty pictures), so he reached out. Jesse responds really quickly and we were lucky to secure a time slot for the weekend. Jesse offered to have a quick chat with us over the phone so he could come up with a customized menu for us and set expectations. For example, I don't eat seafood, so Jesse took that into account and made sure there wasn't a shrimp dish. Eventually, we landed on a Mexican taco menu (which was appropriate since Jesse is a master of tacos) because we wanted a menu that we could then easily take and make all the recipes ourselves. Jesse arrived promptly on time and set up his many kitchen tools and supplies in our kitchen. It's great that he can come to you! He was able to adapt easily to our kitchen set-up and get started. He started off with making us a salsa and guacamole so we could nibble as he gave us a ton of fun facts about cooking / food and prepped the other courses. He prints out his recipes so you can take notes as he goes along. The whole thing is very conversational, you never feel like he's talking AT you, but with you. You can ask him questions at any time. I never felt overwhelmed or felt like anything he was making or explaining was too difficult for me. In addition, I learned how to properly cut an onion and how to press tortillas. He had asked us beforehand if we wanted to be more hands-on, so he showed us how to cut the onion or press the tortillas and then we went ahead and helped with the prep. Not only was Jesse super knowledgeable and patient, the food he made was delicious. He even cleans up after cooking, which is a mega bonus! We had enough leftovers for another meal the next day. After taking his private cooking class, we both feel empowered and enthusiastic to learn and cook more. :) I definitely would work with The Maker's Kitchen again. His prices are extremely reasonable for the value you get, you get a very personalized experience (you're not lost in a class of 30), and he's a cool dude. You will learn a lot. You can tell that food is definitely his passion and that he's just trying to do what he loves to do (and educating others so that they hopefully can feel the same!). It's awesome! Thanks Jesse!

All were very quick to answer questions, and some more than others eager to even walk you over to find an item.

I WISH I had known about this store before - my mom has been going to shops on the Post Road for decades, and it was only on a recent trip to Silver of Westport that we noticed it (might have been all of the "SALE" signs in the window!). We needed to get a variety of different gifts for people helping out with my upcoming wedding, and we couldn't believe the luck we had. Some things are marked down considerably (the odds and ends pieces of silverware or dinnerware collections), but even if it isn't a "clearance" item, there are still great bargains to be had on other fine pieces (ie., gorgeous hurricane vases, candlestick holders, decorative jars). Collections range from the traditional voile print to the updated and modern minimalist style. Customer service was also top notch, which is not always the case at places where the end of business is inevitable. I believe this store will be in operation through August, so hurry in and stock up!

I think she needs a talk from the manager on how to talk to customers nicely. Just wanted to give some feedback and critiquing.

The educational part of the visit was amazing (we actually learned so much!), and their goats were the friendliest little things ever. We celebrated my daughter's first birthday here, and it was an absolute blast! Everyone, kids and adults, had so much fun. Holly went above and beyond to make sure we did everything we wanted to do. She never once made us feel rushed and made sure we felt completely welcome. You can truly tell how much she loves her animals and how wonderful she is with kids. Scheduling was a breeze!!
