We were able to eat our creations AND go home with more to make. ADDITIONALLY, they have a kitchen consignment shop that has the BEST finds. I found a perfect le creuset dish for $11!!!

I love walking up and down every aisle, marveling at the industrial size mixing bowls, baking supplies, ladles, rolling pins - you name it, it's here! Grills, griddles, fryers, cast iron - yep, got it! They also have a selection of bar ware, both the serving glasses and the tools to stock your own bar at home. Even neon signs! Since my dinnerware is white, I often come here to pick up additional serving platters, individual salt bowls, cream pitchers or whatever I need or just want to add to my table scale. Of course they have the large appliances - refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, wine refrigerators, etc. Prices are affordable and you can buy single pieces or bulk. Customer service is friendly, they greet you when you enter and let you browse. If you need assistance, they are there to help. That's exactly how I prefer it.

My…read morekid purchased her fancy shmancy coffee/espresso machine here, so she knew I'd enjoy checking this place out. And she was RIGHT. Think HomeGoods or HomeSense stores, but much MUCH higher end. That about encapsulates this place. The store itself is one large, open concept floor. It has all sorts of kitchen gadgets and linens, gourmet foods/condiments, patio furniture and gardening accessories, home furnishings and household accessories. Nothing is cheap here, literally or figuratively. Everything is super well-made, but very pricey. My kid saw a pizza platter here for $20 that she purchased the day before at HomeGoods for $4.99. The exact same item. That said, this place carries a lot of brands and items that you cannot find elsewhere, and the staff are extremely knowledgeable about their product lines. I liked their selection of retro wall clocks in a rainbow of colors, each for about $50 (I thought that was reasonable). Also, note that their sale prices on items are excellent deals. And they also carry smaller scale, cute gift things, on carousels by the front counter. I got my friend a cute pair of socks here.

It took me awhile to get my bearings as the layout was so different from their other locations and there is so much free space! Since they are now on one floor, an entire area is dedicated to furniture - beds, sectionals, tables, chairs, recliners - and you can see everything much easier, so important when you need to compare. Many items have options to customize fabrics and wood. They carry American Leather recliners which are my all time favorite. Small footprint and so comfortable. All of the colorful fiesta dinnerware is still there. As is the huge assortment of white dinnerware, bowls, serving platters, ramekins, pitchers and accessories. Plus simple glassware covering all types of drinks - water, juice, white wine, red wine, champagne, martini, margarita, highball - so you can buy the type and quantity you need, and they all go together. Shelves of small appliances, lots of baking pans and tools, dish towels, aprons, kitchen gadgets (always my favorite) and barware, too. Plus lots of local and national brand pantry staples. Since it's summer, they had a large variety of outdoor dining tables, bistro and conversation sets, with recliners and stack chairs also available. And of course outdoor dinnerware, many ready fir your July 4th celebration. A Portland company that has been around since the mid 70s, it's always nice to support local. At the same time, you are getting quality items and fantastic customer service. Free parking is available in their lot on the same level as the store, plus in the parking garage down below off Westover, making it a breeze to pop in for whatever kitchen or dining item you are seeking.

From learning techniques and spices to understanding the "why" behind the dishes, the class struck a perfect balance between hands‑on cooking and approachable instruction. Every dish we made was incredibly tasty, and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of great energy. It truly felt like a community‑building event, not just a cooking class. My wife and I had a fantastic time and left inspired (and very well fed). We will definitely be back for future classes. Highly recommend Hipcooks Portland--and huge kudos to Lacy and Annie for such a memorable night!

No matter your skill level (unless, maybe, if you're already a professional chef), you'll learn something new. We made ramen noodles from scratch (!), which were an amazing consistency and soaked up the flavor of the broth well. We also learned proper knife techniques. Chef Valentine has a real passion for cooking and teaching others this important life skill as a means to a healthier lifestyle. A portion of class fees goes towards scholarships for classes for those in need. On the down side, this may have ruined me for instant and non-housemade restaurant ramen, as ours was so good! Now I'll really be saying, I could/should have made this at home!

Chef Valentine is so nice and patient, the classes are fun, and at the end, you realize it's surprisingly easy to make good, healthy, affordable food that is delicious! I've taken the pork ramen class, which was my favorite. The broth, cooks in 30 minutes in an Instapot, and it was so rich and flavorful. I went out an Instapot the next day! We also made the noodles from scratch. It took a lot of kneeding to get the texture where it needed to be, but it was worth it! I haven't made the noodles at home yet because it took two of us to manage the pasta sheets and pasta machine, which I don't have. But someday! Also enjoyed the class where we learned how to make Saag Paneer, one of my favorite Indian dishes. Once you learn the technique, you can substitute chicken or lamb for the paneer. Quick, delicious, and far less money than if buying out. What makes these cooking classes so enjoyable is the ease and comfort of the atmosphere, created by Chef Valentine, and the ability to get to know the other people in the class. You all prep and cook together and then share the meal as a community. You can bring beer, wine or hard cider - and if you forget, go downstairs and buy some! People tend to share what they bring which adds to the sense of community. Chef Valentine has taught me knife skills, which I thought I had! Wrong. I was doing all the work and not letting the knife do it's job. It's all about the tools and using them properly. These classes have also taught me patience. Cutting all the veggies for the ramen takes time, skill and patience to get uniformed cuts. Prepping and measuring first makes the actual cooking process go smoother. I've always been a cook, but never much of a baker because baking is about being precise with measurements, which requires patience. After taking several cooking classes at Feed the Mass, I've learned how patience pays off. This Christmas, I baked about a dozen varieties of cookies, including baklava. They all turned out wonderful, according to my friends who gobbled them up and I owe it to Chef Valentine! Classes are located on the second floor of Whole Foods in the Pearl. You can park on the street or in Whole Foods garage. If you spent $10 on groceries, parking is free. Love taking classes here! I bought a book of 5 passes so classes end up being $25 per class, a bargain since you also eat a meal! What I really like is the mission of a Feed the Mass, which is to educate and provide classes to those who can't afford to pay for classes, to teach them how to make a healthy and affordable meals for their family. A meal that costs less than fast food and is far more delicious. And healthier. Taking classes supports this Non-Profit's mission. There are classes for kids, date nights, family classes and even classes where you learn how to prep a few meals that stretch out for a week. So take some classes and learn new skills, have fun and pay it forward! It's a great experience and a fun way to spend an evening with friends, family or as a single...once you walk in the door, you are part of the community.
