    Making cocktails
    Amanda F.

    I have had this place on my list of fun date nights for a long time. Classes usually fill up fast. I saw a class for taco night, which included tequila cocktails. The menu was extensive! At least six different tacos! I kept thinking, there's no way we're going to make all of this. I kept these date night plans as a Plan B, because plan A was going to a waterpark if the weather was good. The rainy weather led to us changing plans last minute and I checked their site and they had space available for us that same night! So we signed up and received a confirmation email with instructions. We arrived a bit early, and parked in the back. We decided to sit in the car for 15 minutes because we were so early. During that time, I went on yelp to see current reviews for truffles and trifles. I was surprised to see so many bad reviews! I read a few of them, and it seemed that people did not have their expectations met. Therefore, we went in with low expectations. When we entered, we were greeted by Rashida, who would be our chef. she checked our registration and then informed us about a sink in the back where we could wash our hands and don aprons. We returned to the waiting area and took a seat with 12 other people who were waiting to start the class. I noticed a few people had brought their own wine. Apparently you can bring your own drinks. This particular class included a few tequila cocktails, so we were OK to wait. After waiting for the rest of the class to show up, we had a short cooking demonstration by Rashida. She showed us tips and tricks on how to cut onions, smash garlic, and trim herbs. She made so many jokes and has such a wonderful presence. Our group split up into different working stations, with some couples paired up. We were paired up with a wonderful couple from Florida who were on a childless date night. We had crispy fish tacos, pork Carnitas tacos, guacamole, mango salsa, chile mayo sauce and tortilla chips to make. All the ingredients were at our workstation, pre-measured by the chef in little cups and ramekins. We got to work immediately, shredding pork, cutting mangoes, mashing avocados. There was enough work for each of us to do something, but we worked together as a team to make the recipe. This means that each person does not make the entire recipe themselves. A lot of bad reviews commented that they thought they were going to make every single dish themselves. But you can't, for the sake of time; the other couples were making different tacos for the group. We all presented our tacos on platters and served the entire class. The other dishes made were crispy shrimp tacos, chicken fajita tacos, ground beef tacos, and a fruit dessert as well as churros. Everything was served family style and people were enjoying the different tacos while certain classmates took the initiative to make tequila sunrise and frozen margaritas. Everything was delicious. Being that it's a group cooking class, with some supervision, there is no way to judge the cleanliness of the food preparation. All I can say, is that our group did the best we could to keep everything sanitary and not cross contaminate. But you've got to relax a little in this type of situation and realize that restaurants are just like this. Yes, people are touching your food, and then cooking it. It's the same process everywhere you go. There was so much food because six people did not show up to the class. We still prepared everything so there were a ton of leftovers. People were able to take food home in the to go boxes provided. I saw some reviews of people complaining that they did not receive the recipes. We received a large packet of all the recipes as soon as we entered the class. I did however, forget to bring that packet home with me! But it's OK. We went for the experience and similar recipes can be easily found online. I would recommend Rashida and this cooking class. She leads many other cooking classes, including French macaroons. She has a great sense of humor and is very open and helpful. This class was one registration that included two people, as it was a couples class. The website is not very clear, but if it's a couples class, you only need to buy one ticket which will serve you both. The class was $185 for the both of us. I wasn't sure if we're supposed to tip? But we had such a great time I decided to give her some cash. We met a lot of great people and had a blast. I would return for another class.

    I attended the pasta making class with my partner. We received a gift certificate to attend so when redeeming it I called the it number and the owner answered and instructed me to email her a photo of the gift certificate and which class. She emailed me back saying we were confirmed and some details. The emailed mentioned bringing a mask however it was not needed. You can bring your own beer or wine. We got there about 20 minutes early and waited at the table with others. Once everyone arrived we went around and introduced ourselves. There were two instructors Mar (the owner) and Rashida. This place has been running for 39 years. We were split into different stations, each station had a different recipe. So essentially, you learn one recipe, prepare it and at the end everyone shares their meal. Before we got started, we watched the instructor demo how to make pasta. Then we start! There was one assistant but you could tell there is usually more hands to go around and assist everyone. Because they were short staffed, we waited and drank wine until our instructor was able to come over and answer questions. Once our hesitancies wore off and we got to cooking, we had a lot of fun along with those cooking around us. I have to say, all of the recipes were outstanding.. just really really delicious. The class was about 3-31/2 hours long. We got a copy of all of the recipes at the end. Reading the reviews, I can see how the class could become chaotic. But, if you go in knowing that these are two ladies that have been around for a long time and are short staffed but you are going to have delicious food at the end, I think you will enjoy yourself.

    My husband and I had a wonderful day date at the macaron making class with Chef Rasheeda. She was amazing in her instruction and knowledge. She made the class fun and a memorable experience. We are looking forward to coming again and bringing our children.

    Great environment and vibe! The owner was very professional and down to earth. Food and ingredients was already prepared. Well organized and clean establishment! Can't wait to go again. Food was delicious. Couples friendly!

    Rashida taught our group some amazing tips and tricks for basic cooking, and Jacob was super helpful as well.

    The Kitchen House is a not-for-profit garden and cooking school that focuses on teaching healthy…read moreplant-forward recipes to adults and children. Ever since Publix Aprons Cooking School closed, I've been looking for a cooking school that has fun adult classes. The Kitchen House has just started a monthly "book club" called Plot to Plate where they feature a book that relates to or includes recipes. This month was Lessons in Chemistry so my friends and I decided to attend. We bought our tickets in advance as classes can sell out. The classes are different prices depending on what the class is. The house is in a residential neighborhood in College Park and does not have a dedicated parking lot so I would suggest getting there early as you have to find a spot along the street. When we arrived, we were greeted and given a welcome drink, in this case Cardamom Decaf Coffee because it was cold out. One of the instructors said that normally we would walk the garden at the beginning of class and also eat outdoors but since it was cold, we were going to skip the garden and eat inside. Once everyone arrived (cooking classes can have up to 20 people), we met in the lobby to start talking about different themes of the book. Then it was time to wash up and go to the kitchen. All the ingredients were set out for us and we picked the Veggie Pot Pie table with other attendees. The instructor gave us some knife skills lessons and then we all started cooking, using the recipes at our station. Each station makes one recipe so you don't get to make everything. And, the instructors and volunteers don't show you how to make everything first (like Publix Aprons used to do). But, if you just dig in and start going, it is a lot of fun. We had some questions along the way, like is there a spatula we can use? Or, is this the flour or the cornstarch? The volunteers were great and answered everything in a friendly way. As it said you could do in the welcome email we received before the class, some folks brought their own wine and the Kitchen House provided glasses and would pour for you. I think if we go back, we would definitely bring our own wine. My friends and I made the drop biscuits for the Veggie Pot Pie, which were surprisingly easy to make. We were finished early so we also make the Brownies for dessert that used olive oil and maple syrup instead of butter and sugar. When everyone was done cooking, we gathered in the lobby again while the volunteers cleaned and set up the table for dinner. Then, it was time to eat! Dinner was served buffet style and the Kitchen House split our food for people who had different dietary restrictions. For example, some of the recipes used non-dairy alternatives as some people in the class were lactose intolerant and one person had a mushroom allergy so they got a small spinach gallette instead of the mushroom Gallette for everyone else. As we sat down to eat, we discussed the book more in depth. Everything tasted great and we had a wonderful time. We received all the recipes in an email after the class so we could make the foods at home. I will definitely be looking at other adult classes here.

I went with my classmates for medical school and we made 2 different types of spaghetti- one had meat (very good, picture 1) and the other was vegetarian (wasn't terrible, picture 2).

A few friends of ours have been going to classes for a few years and seem to really feel it benefits them. The studio and actors put on a show every year that the past 2 years has been called Play de Luna - a series of one act comedic plays. At a low cost you can go to see some quick one act plays with some developing actors. Some are awesome and some are good, none are bad. The actors and directors work so hard at their craft and it shows. The studio itself is a small space. It's got a few rows of seats for an audience and some bathrooms with a small front lobby where they sell drinks during the shows. Overall, if you're looking for something to do in Oct or Nov - check out their show. It's a great fun weekend thing to do (and only suitable for adults). I can say that based on friend's testimonials it seems to be a great place for acting classes too but I cannot say that from my own experience aside from witnessing them get several jobs over the last year or so since they started taking the classes.
