My husband and I took a date night cooking class here with Chef Alex. We had a fantastic time and…read morethe food turned out delicious! We learned how to make NY strip steak, crab cakes with a roasted garlic aioli, roasted asparagus, and chocolate lava cake. We had two other couples in our class, and we were paired up with another couple, which actually turned out to be pretty fun. Then after class they give you an additional 10% off of anything in the store, even sale items. We had a great time and enjoyed doing something different and interactive for our date night. We'll definitely be making these recipes at home now too.

Total arty art school vibes…read more I was thinking about cobbling together a screen printing setup at home and realized I should probably find a refresher class somewhere. Just so happens that this Evanston Art Center had a screen printing class coming up! I signed up and walked into class expecting that all the arcane screen printing processes have been made obsolete at last. Back in the day we had to flood screens with chemikills and expose them to light like neanderthals. Welp, it turns out that is how it's still done (boohoo) but indeed some of the technology has advanced in ways I didn't expect. Anyway, great gallery, great classes, great teachers and staff!

This place has a lot of potential, particularly upstairs - there are blank walls galore - but there's just not very much art there at the moment. Evanston is small, but had I known I could blow through this venue in 5 minutes, for a 10 minute drive, I probably would have skipped it. That said, the art that was there was great and I enjoyed seeing it.

It's been fascinating to see how so many businesses have offered similar services to kids (& adults) online. And without having to worry about carpooling, sibling schedules etc she's able to squeeze even more into a day than usual. Flavorpot is currently offering virtual cooking classes on Tues and Thurs for just $5. They send ingredients around ahead of time so that you can be well prepared in time for the class. My daughter signed up for the flatbread pizza class this past Tuesday perfectly timed at 5pm so she could make dinner for the family. All info from ingredients to zoom was clear ahead of time. We had a little trouble signing in since the zoom was under my name instead of my daughter's so i suggest changing that ahead of time. This wasn't quite as interactive as the other cooking classes my daughter has been taking virtually (mostly thru outschool). For FlavorPot's class Chef Cristina demonstrated and there was a helper who was fielding questions from chat to make sure all went smoothly. My daughter definitely needed my assistance a few times so it wasn't really a class they can take on their own. After a lot of fun, big mess and we even set off the fire alarm she had flatbread pizza for dinner. She loved it- ate up every last bite with her brothers. It was a little on the burnt side (imo), but they didn't seem to mind She really liked the class and asked if I would sign her up for them twice a week. Twice a week is a lot since it's work for me and a big mess, but we will definitely plan for more in the future.
