I know enough to tackle many cheeses - from chevre to cheddar and everything in in between. However, I was cursed by mozzarella - for the life of me, I could not make mozzarella that didn't turn out like hard, tasteless rubber - trying to follow a recipe off the internet - I was convinced it was an impossible cheese. After Kate's hands-on class, not only did I make an incredibly tasty mozzarella - she also showed us how to turn it into a special Burrata - which tasted amazing and looked beautiful. I learned how to make a great mozzarella in the class and regained my confidence in tackling this cheese - thanks to Kate's careful instruction and sharing several tips and tricks to this tricky little cheese.

They also offer meads, mulled cider, and an entirely new food menu that pairs perfectly with the drinks. There's clearly a lot of thought going into the experience now. We also heard a new deck area is coming soon, plus plans for a paella night--which honestly sounds amazing and gives us even more reason to come back. If you haven't been to Snowy Peaks recently, it's absolutely worth another visit. They're doing great things and it's becoming a must-stop spot in Estes Park.

We liked the latter enough, so we took a six-pack, priced at only $8.99, home with us. Honestly, this one may have been my favorite. As far as the flight, we both liked the Lagerado the best and each enjoyed another pint of that after finishing the flight. I also liked the Kernel Mexican lager, although we both agreed it had a bit of a weird taste. The 90 Shilling is always a safe bet. Further confirmation neither of us like pilsners, that one wasn't great, and the Old Doods stout wasn't our jam either. It was a lovely day, so we sat outdoors relatively early on a Sunday. Plenty of shady seating for us. Counter service was very friendly too. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Ft. Collins.

I took…read morethe Cast-Iron Cooking class with Chef Cameron and learned to make Grilled Chicken with Chimichurri Sauce, Charred Cast-Iron Green Beans with Lemon Vinaigrette, Griddled Flatbread, and a Skillet Brown Butter Cookie. Everything was delicious! The class was smaller than expected, which turned out to be a huge bonus for me since I got lots of hands-on instruction and attention, plus I got to take home some very tasty leftovers. Even better, the class fee included a 10" Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet to take home, so I walked away with both new skills and a great piece of cookware. And because I had a 10% coupon, I picked up a couple of cast-iron skillet holders, too. A really enjoyable afternoon, a great instructor, delicious food, a chance to interact with the retail staff who are always helpful, a complementary cappuccino from a ridiculously sophisticated and expensive machine, and a new skillet to put to work. I'd definitely take another Sur La Table cooking class!

Extremely disappointing experience and nowhere near worth almost $100 per person - I rarely leave…read morenegative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I feel other people should know what they are paying for. My husband and I received this 2-hour sushi class as a gift from our son. I've taken about six cooking classes previously, and unfortunately this was hands-down the worst experience I've had. The class description said we would be making Shrimp Tempura Rolls, Yuzu Dipping Sauce, Crab Inari Sushi, Avocado & Vegetable Hand Rolls, Sushi Rice and Yuzu Sorbet. What we actually experienced was very different. From the beginning, the class seemed disorganized. They apparently expected 8 people, but 11 showed up, and there didn't seem to be any system for checking people in or confirming who was registered. We stood behind a counter for the entire two-hour class -- no stools or seating, and just water not even have napkins to wipe your hands. There were also NO printed recipes, which I've never experienced in a cooking class. We had nothing to follow along with, take notes on, ask questions etc... We didn't even have our own cooking stations and had to share with so many others some people just had to watch. Very little actual cooking or instruction took place. We sliced some carrots, cucumber and avocado and deep-fried a FEW tiny baby shrimp (see pic below). That was essentially it. The assistants repeatedly took away our knives, cutting boards and other equipment to wash them while we were still trying to use them, so we had to keep retrieving what we needed. Even more disappointing, several of the items advertised as part of the class either weren't made or weren't taught. I don't recall if she made the Yuzu dipping sauce, think she talked about it, but I didn't have any dipping sauce and the soy sauce to dip our hand rolls in came so late we had eaten them already. There was no mention at all about the Yuzu sorbet or how to make they just put it in front of us at the end of class. They also ran out of rice, some people had to share a roll. And then there was the shrimp! For two people, we received maybe 6 tiny shrimp about the size of my thumbnail. I took a photo before we rolled our tempura roll (see below) because I honestly couldn't believe that was the amount of food provided for two people paying close to $200. The instructor herself was knowledgeable, pleasant and clearly educated about the subject. My criticism is not about her personally. The problem was the overall execution of the class and the enormous disconnect between the $100-per-person price, what was advertised, and what was actually provided. It was also difficult to hear much of the instruction, which made an already disorganized experience even more frustrating. For almost $200 per couple, I would expect an organized, hands-on cooking class with adequate ingredients and equipment, recipes to take home, instruction on all of the advertised dishes, and enough food to actually prepare those dishes and enjoy a dinner. We received none of that. Based on our class, I absolutely could not recommend it at this price. I would give it 1 star for the experience/value, with the acknowledgment that the instructor herself was kind and knowledgeable.
