We chose two side salads - mixed greens with goat cheese, dried cranberries, and candied walnuts (huge hit) and an Orange Fennel salad.

Not only was the food outstanding, Sean delivered the meal and supplied us with serving platters and utensils. It was a flawless meal and I look forward to using Cinch in the future.

This class was anything but what the description stated . We were suppose to learn how to prepare salmon, salad and crème brûlée, and we were suppose to be instructed on how to prepare this ourselves (hands on) and then enjoy the meal together . This class was a complete and utter disappointment ! The ONLY things that were allowed to do were : Cut a shallot Chop some salad Pour the crime brûlée and torch it Totally inexcusable for what I paid for this class ! At one point, they had us take a 15 minute break while THEY seasoned the salmon and prepared the other food ! This class was a complete joke! It was boring, expensive and as I said before a complete disappointment and a scam! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

I will say that the pace was a bit quicker than my last class, as there was much more to get done, but we kept up, giggles and all. The environment was comfortable, and the staff's attention to detail created a relaxing and enjoyable evening. We didn't have to overthink anything; we could just go with the flow. Everything was prepared for us from start to finish. After cooking, we sat, ate, and were pleasantly surprised to find that, after guessing the right amount of seasoning for our produce and meat, we ended up seasoning everything perfectly to our taste. We look forward to taking more classes and inviting a few more friends to join us.

If you want to have an incredible and unique date night, you have to hit up Julia at Culinary…read moreWorks. This was my first time and my husband's third time (they do corporate events as well). Julia had a beautifully curated meal planned for us, Italian themed called Italian Comfort Food. When we arrived, there was a delicious white bean dip with crackers and carrots. The dip was light and lemony and described as easy to make using a food processor. The group of 19 moved to an antipasto station where we created skewers with varying cheeses, meats, vegetables, peppers, and my favorite, the caper wrapped anchovy! Everyone took part in making the skewers and plating them, which is fun. Then each person chose a card that stated what station we would go to. My husband and I chose the meat lasagna. Other stations were a chicken lasagna, asparagus and arugula salad, garlic bread and homemade hazelnut ice cream. While at our meat lasagna station, we learned how to make the meat, a mixture of sausage and beef, the homemade lasagna noodles, the béchamel sauce. We layered the noodles, meat, cheese, ricotta and did it again. After 40 minutes, it came out oozing with deliciousness! I thought that nothing could taste better until I tried the chicken lasagna with white sauce. Omg! Incredible! I'm a "cook for survival" type of gal and I came out learning a few cool tips- like, to make the best garlic bread, wet the outside of the bread before putting it in the oven! The crust comes out with a bit of crackle but the inside is buttery, garlicky, soft! I don't see the process of making the ice cream, but I did get to enjoy it and boy did I! Chocolate, nutty, rich and creamy! My favorite dish of all though, was the asparagus salad- arugula and sliced almond with a wonderfully delicious dressing to top it off. It is easy, refreshing, light and could be a meal in itself. And as Julia said, "not every salad needs cheese," but if you must.... I would love some goat cheese on top. The best part of the evening, besides the 5* food, was the company! It was such a fun date night, the people in our group were so nice and friendly and Julia and James her assistant make it lighthearted and fun. I can't wait to return for another event. This made my week! @date_night_craves
