I recently ordered a large charcuterie board from Meat and Mingle Charcuterie for my brother's…read morebirthday, and it was absolutely perfect! Everyone loved the wide variety of selections--everything was fresh, high-quality, and beautifully arranged. Alicia was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was very communicative, asked about allergies, explained each item in detail (including where it was sourced), and even included small serving tools. The board was professionally arranged, shrink-wrapped for freshness, and packaged in a lovely outer bag with a thank-you tag. The attention to detail really stood out. Pickup was smooth and easy--the professional kitchen she works out of was spotless, which gave me extra confidence in the quality. Pricing was more than fair considering the love, precision, and quality that went into everything. I couldn't be happier with the experience and will definitely be recommending Alicia and Meat and Mingle Charcuterie to friends, family, and colleagues. A true 5-star experience all around!

My boyfriend and I just went to Nature's Table last night for a cooking class "How to Eat Vegan on…read more$4 a Day" with Chef Penni. Apparently there was a google deal for $19 a person and we missed it, so we paid $39 each to attend the class, but it was fun! There are numerous stations set up in the kitchen, so for this particular class, we had recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Everyone picked a station and got to cookin'! The upside of this class was is that we definitely learned some new things and who doesn't want to only spend $4 a day on food? After everyone had finished their dishes, we all had a vegan dinner together! The food was delicious! Vegan does not mean boring in case you were wondering. :) The only downside in my opinion, is that you only get to make one meal. So, really you get to experiment with one dish, rather than multiple ones...and while the kitchen is a pretty good size, there's some bumping into each other, trying to use the stove, rinse dishes, etc. And I found it a little frustrating to not have all the utensils, equipment, bowls, etc that I needed, so I kept having to stop and ask for things. Otherwise, this was a fun experience and Penni is really fun to work with!

Nature's Table Cooking School- I see school in the name and for me that means you will learn. Did…read moreI learn something- why yes I did. I learned you should shop at Whole Foods and if you can't remember to buy organic. Although the name includes cooking. Did I learn how to cook- not a bit. Like some of the reviews a friend and I bought the Living Social to attend a "class". We decided on the dessert class, well that was the only one we could get into before it expired. Literally the day it expired was the only class we could get in. All the choices of desserts to make sounded yummy, so we didn't really care where we sat but picked lemon bars. I know these are really hard for me to make- but this is a class and we will learn BONUS! So we sat through the Whole Foods spill and don't forgot you can buy these cooking books here at the store. Then the instructor went through each recipe, which was fair. I didn't mind that. However she did say, "When I take these dishes home at night, they seem to taste better after they have sat for awhile" What? I paid for the class and make it, then you get to take the leftovers home? I took a class at another school and we boxed up any leftovers and got to take them home. Seems a little weird, but after the lecture I knew this wasn't your typical cooking class. Finally time to bake and this is what she says. "I have everything label for you to use and everything you need out, so if you need me I will be back there' As I mentioned before, I have trouble making lemon bars so I went asked for some help. The recipe was confusing and she didn't straighten it out for me. ........ Lemon bars were a flop :( Now time to try everyone's do it yourself creation and for the most part they were pretty tasty. I just felt like we were rushed out- so with that being said, lots of leftovers for the staff I suppose? I could go on and on, but hopefully you get the point. If you are looking for a class, keep looking. Should you be looking for a place to make something for someone else and not have to clean up....well you found your spot.

Stay away from this place! And don't buy the obviously PURCHASED 5 star reviews (they are so easy…read moreto spot). If not purchased, they were friends of the owners because they way too glowing for this sewage pit of a "restaurant". They set up on Door Dash as "Encore Ghost Kitchen" and it has to be the worst food I've ever had in Denver. And that's saying A LOT. This is like a huge bait and switch, the pictures they show don't come anywhere near the actual food you get. Let's dig in, shall we? Their menu looks and sounds amazing, just like home cooking. All the things we love to eat are there and on the site they look fresh, colorful and delicious. Hardly! First off, doesn't this sound good: "Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts"? I actually just made some of these myself last weekend and they were amazing! My wife decided to order them from this hack join and they were raw, ZERO seasoning whatsoever, ZERO maple and about 1/4 teaspoon of bacon bits. Gross. Next up we have potato skins, everyone's favorite right? The wife and I both got one of those and, to their credit, they were the only edible thing we got but only just barely. Like the sprouts they didn't come with one single grain of salt or other seasoning. And the ranch they so eloquently showed in their pictures? Well it was about 1/8th of a teaspoon on about 1/2 of the skins. Fortunately we had some home made ranch and salt and made them edible. Finally let's talk a childhood favorite that I make often: chili mac (this hack bait-and-switch calls it "Cincinnati Chili"). I've never been so disgusted by a dish before. The picture shows this beautiful bright red chili on spaghetti, what I got was a super greasy bunch of ground beef on some noodles, brown and more grease than anything. And, again, zero seasoning and it tasted like it came right from a can. For this we paid $70. SEVENTY DOLLARS! Here's my theory. This is a catering company struggling to make ends meet in the COVID era of dining, so they spin up this half baked "Door Dash only" fake restaurant to bring in cash with sub-par ingredients hoping to stick around. You look at their website and this is just what it looks like. So, in summary, if they will do this bait-and-switch to get you to eat the canned garbage that a raccoon would walk away from, imagine what their terrible catering looks like? If you like greasy canned, non seasoned uncooked brown food, this is your place.

When a number of mishaps, poor communication, and unfriendly contacts had happened I reached out to Taryn, who I had worked with in the past for various events for work. She was AWESOME! Luckily I had not been asked to make a deposit with the other caterer, and one call with Taryn solidified my decision to work with Epicurean! I couldn't have been happier with my experience. She really listened to what we wanted and put together a BBQ family style menu for us. She was responsive and professional in her communications with me and the food was incredible! We had so many of our guests come up to tell us how good the food was - they had never had wedding food so great! Kudos to the staff as well. Timely and professional, really awesome! My original hesitation with hiring Epicurean off the bat, I was concerned with cost. Because I had worked with them in the past I knew how top notch they are. Taryn worked within my budget and executed my dream wedding. THANK YOU EPICUREAN! Edit: She also helped me pick out event rentals :)

I had very brief encounters with him but his demeanor towards me seemed very rude. Asked him very simple questions but made me seem like I was asking him dumb questions. Second, the menu was not good. As someone who has been to a lot of Thai restaurants, this might have been for people who are not very familiar with authentic Thai food. I knew the class was over when the instructor told us to soak the rice paper into water for 30-45 seconds (I understand it was not warm water and we used tap water) Still, anyone who has actually has made spring rolls before knows that is way too long. Pad see ew was atrocious. Only used oyster sauce and tamari as sauces... don't really see the point of coming to a cooking class when your cabinet has better selection of spices/sauces. Chicken Khao Soi was decent. Paying 120 dollars for this class was a big mistake. I don't quite understand how they could charge this much knowing that the ingredients they used were fairly affordable. Honestly wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Allison was very sweet. The place was very cute. Only 2 positives.
