Ann Wigmore 'The Conscious Cook' is a wonderful establishment where they offer live cooking classes that not only educates you about eating healthy, but also introduces you to a whole new world of foods. I attended a Vegan meetup here and was introduced to a live demo of 'Plant Based Nutrition for Cancer Prevention.' The owner, Sadie King and vegan chef and Health Coach, Landry Fuller prepared easy, flavorful dishes that were full of vitamins and antioxidants to keep your immune system strong and your body healthy. This was a great event to attend for those who want to try and change their diet and improve their health. We learned how cancer can be prevented by making smarter food choices including nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, fiber, herbs and spices. 'The Conscious Cook' also offers an array of classes from all types of ethnic cuisine to themed dessert classes. It's also a fun way to bring a group of friends to and participate in. You don't even have to be a vegan and/or vegetarian to enjoy these dishes. Just have an open mind. :) Check out their website for healthy plant-based cooking classes, health and wellness coaching for individual clients and groups who are seeking healthier eating and more balanced lifestyles, monthly programs as well as talks, workshops and cooking classes. They even sell products such as the Saladmaster, which has been shown to be the best method for cooking. Here's more information: http://conscious-cook.com/saladmaster/ You are what you eat. I am a true believer of that. If you want to live a long and healthy life, having a healthy diet is the first step. In my opinion, plant based nutrition has been the most impactful and beneficial lifestyle for me. The food is amazingly delicious and that in turn affects my mood and overall well-being. I have never felt more energetic, youthful, and vibrant. 'The Conscious Cook' gets my thumbs up ! It's a business that I support and know people can learn and benefit from. They are really passionate about what they do and it shows in their food. So grab a group of friends or fly solo and attend a class. Get VEGUCATED peeps ! :)

They also have a very helpful chat function on the BTK website where I was able to ask questions before booking. Leading up to the tour, Chris was easy to communicate with via email. He sent us info on the tour and very helpful directions for the day of. Throughout the tour, Chris shared cool history about the food and navigated us through the market to the tastiest tamales, tacos and tortas. We finished the tour with happy taste buds, full bellies and in awe of Tijuana's vibrant food scene. We'll definitely be back!

BTK exceeded expectations. I could tell from how attentive Chris was when we booked our trip, but…read morethe experience was more remarkable than could be imagined. Chris is highly knowledgable and organized. He is also well connected in the community so you get access to wineries and owners that you would otherwise not have. He is generous with his expertise and provides an impressive educational experience. The BTK experience is great for anyone...a first time visitor or someone who knows wine and the valley because Chris personalizes the experience. We took the all-day tour that included lunch for $179 and it was worth every cent. We took ourselves on an excursion the next day and definitely felt Chris's absence as we got lost several times and were limited in what we could do and what we could learn from the experience. I look forward to booking our next trip.

My wife and I had originally intended to have Kitchen Art Studio host my daughter's birthday party…read more My wife went in and arranged for a 2 hour party for 10 children. The price quoted for this was a somewhat steep $375. To my wife's shock and amazement, this ballooned to $494 once our credit card was charged; not only tax, but 18% gratuity on the original excessive amount, was added. Within a few days we decided this was a bad idea overall, and phoned to cancel. After a few confusing telephone and email exchanges, my wife received email notification that they would retain 25% (approximately $125) as a cancellation fee! To date, we still have not come to a satisfactory resolution regarding our refund. Altogether it has been a very frustrating and time-consuming experience. Update: our credit card company issued us a credit for the full amount, and took matters into their own hands.

I was pretty excited because my friend told me that we were going to learn how to cook and have dinner at the Kitchen Art Studio. We learned how to make chicken empanaditas and seared scallops piccata with pasta, and just torch the sugar on the creme brulee since the creme brulee was already premade. We had some wine that we brought and they provided us with strawberry lemonade to drink. It was a fun experience however it is a bit pricey. For a large group we paid about ~$60-80 a person granted it was for a cooking lesson along with gratuity. There were about 15-20 of us and they could not split the check which ended up being a huge hassle since the bill was over a thousand and we had to put it on one card. I don't know whether or not I'd come back again since I think this place is intended for large parties but overall it was a good experience and the instructor was very friendly and informative.
