I had no idea people did this type of activity which is a great idea. Chef Catalina has a beautiful home that she opened up for her cooking class and and is so very welcoming. Not only was she a great teacher she also had great deal of patience. To have strangers come in her home and make a mess in the kitchen. (Not that much mess :). In this cooking class she taught us to how to make Mexican Street Food. We had Al Pastor, made tortilla's, churros, and salsa from scratch. We also also made Esquites which I could not have enough of. Not only we got to watch and prep the stuff we also took part in cooking them. It was a lot of fun and I got to meet some great people. And in the end we got to enjoy the meal we prepared and I have to say it was delicious! And now I know how to make a different type of salsa. I recommend this event to anyone who enjoys cooking, eating food, and meeting new people.

So sometimes they have meetings at this branch of the Yolo County Library in Davis. They have…read morecooking workshops, as well as some lectures (which are usually accompanied by a bite to eat) and field trips to a local Asian market- 99 Ranch in South Sac. Also available are lectures on tea and last night I sat through a presentation titled "Chinese Flavors--Dining in China: Etiquette and Beyond." Having grown up one half Chinese, some of the teachings of stereotypes of the Chinese were confirmations of what actually happens. For instance, the part of dining out when the bill comes was almost verbatim what comes out of the mouths where I've eaten. The lectures are informative enough that I'm going to continue to attend them. At one workshop I was taught about steamed bao, including the tasty parts where I assembled and ate them. I look forward to sitting in on a tea lecture, as that's been (and still is) a huge part of dining out. My grandparents have been desensitized to my American methods of eating Chinese food, but I learned that even though quite effective, one should not stab his/her food with chopsticks in order to obtain it. And resting your chopsticks on the plate is a no-no as well. They go where a fork would go, on a rest if available. Overall, I find these lectures to be more interesting than anything else because I learn a fair amount about why I've done what I've done for the last 36 years as well as some of the reasons behind those actions. Next up: tea.

I have NEVER had such a terrible experience with a business before. Absolute garbage program. This…read moreclass cost $177 a month (for 3 classes) and my kid has learned diddly squat and the portions of food he makes and comes home with is laughable. My kid has made pancakes (didn't pour them or cook them), no-bake cookie bites and "moose crunch". The pancakes he came back with were two cookie cutter size pancakes. There was 4 small No-Bake cookie bites. The moose crunch was literally Cheerios and a little bit of marshmallows and m&m candies in a snack size bag. There was no cooking whatsoever, he's done nothing but assemble ingredients and wash dishes. So he's come back home with $0.60 worth of ingredients. A $177 class! There is ZERO communication from this person. I got ONE email from her the entire time we were registered and it states they're going to charge parents for being late and will charge parents for takeaway boxes. This lady is LATE EVERY CLASS and she always ends the class early! Today was the ONE class my kids were to attend because SHE cancelled 2 of the 3 classes for the month so we got there at 10:00, as it says in the ONE email I got, and the lady at reception told me the class was moved to 9:30! This lady didn't bother emailing or calling or texting that there was a time change! I paid $352 for my two kids to NOT ATTEND EVEN ONE CLASS, and you better believe she doesn't bother reimbursing! I really wanted to love this program, my son absolutely loves cooking but WOW, I have never encountered such an unprofessional business ever. Don't waste your money, don't waste your time, you will be disappointed and what's worse, your kids will be disappointed.

Jeremiah is a wonderful teacher: patient, welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly, kind, fun, and 100% down to earth and approachable. He is also organized, prepared and efficient. For novice bakers like myself, I appreciated his easy manner and his focus on making his recipes unfussy and unintimidating; I actually felt like I could do them on my own (although we shall see about that!) Jeremiah even graciously prepared a plum tart for our group as a special treat. BONUS!!! I am anxious to sign up for another class coming up in August, where we will learn how to make desserts of the Azores Islands. Please consider joining us for a fun time, meeting new friends, professional baking techniques, exclusive recipes and some delicious treats! You will be so glad you did.
