The Farm Cooking School - Kids Cooking Class, making pasta

The Farm Cooking School

(8 reviews)

I attended the Farm Cooking School for a pasta making night! Overall, it was a great experience! We…read morehad the chance to make 3-4 different pastas and worked as a group through each item. However, the class was unorganized. Despite arriving on time, the class had already started. People were tasked with items to start on and no one greeted us or told us where we could help. It made the beginning of the class feel weird and made us feel not welcomed. The pasta was delicious and the overall value was great! Arrive extra early or have the potential to walk in confused!

I first met chefs Ian Knauer and Shelley Wiseman when they were the guest pizzaiolos at Liberty…read moreHall Pizza, serving up some unique and amazingly delicious pizzas. Shortly thereafter, my wife and I signed up for the Fundamentals cooking course at The Farm Cooking School - a six class series covering everything from knife skills to roasting, poaching and braising. What we experienced was far better than we expected. These are hands on classes, where we learned about the ingredients, how to utilize them and why they worked in each dish we prepared. At the end of each class, we all sit down and enjoy a delicious meal that by itself would likely cost as much as the class if we bought it at a local restaurant. What a bargain! Since that first series, I've taken over 30 other classes, and continue to take classes every week. I've made French sauces, Mexican moles, Italian pastas, Indian curries, pies, breads, and just about everything else you've seen on a plate. The variety and quality of classes and the food we've eaten has been amazing. Through these classes and the down-to-earth teaching styles of Ian and Shelley, I've learned that it's possible for amateurs like me to prepare meals that taste as good or better than those I get in restaurants. I walk away from classes thinking "Wow, that was so delicious. I can't wait to try this at home!"

Our group selected a cooking class here which included dinner with pasta-making as the only…read morehands-on portion of the evening. We only mixed flour and water together to roll out pasta. For $125/person, I had expected better tasting food though. The small appetizers (spinach salad, prosciutto, Parmesan, olives) may have been put together from a grocery store. For the pasta that we rolled out, the staff only added a plain tomato sauce. The side of vegetables was overcooked and mushy. Tiramisu was all right. We can blame the taste and texture of the pasta on ourselves, because we made it, but I had expected the rest of the food prepared by professionals to be better. No drinks were included -- Healthy Italia is BYOB. There was a nice intro video from the owner telling us about her history and philosophy. She said that she doesn't measure ingredients, and only mixes by feel. How does one teach a cooking class like this? If someone is taking a cooking class, they are less experienced and need precise measurements and instructions. Our flour and water were measured for us, so I guess they do measure something. We were never told the measurements, so didn't have any recipe or any specific learnings to take home. I enjoyed the social time with my group, and especially the long table set out for our group in true Italian fashion. It made us feel like a big cohesive family. However, for $125/person, I felt like we could have had a true learning experience elsewhere or had a much better Italian dinner at a restaurant with drinks. In fact, on the subsequent evening, a few individuals from our group went to a restaurant and ordered similar items served at this cooking class, and the food was remarkably better. And yes, it was less than $125/person with drinks.

All meals are fixed price: I visited during buffet brunch, but à la carte lunch and dinner offerings are also available based on the semester schedule. The brunch fare was solid if traditional; OTOH menu choices look more ambitious with wide range. Table service, provided by students in training, was halting yet effective. Good value and great vibe, surely one of AP's best kept secrets. Support this local gem!!

I was greeted by the host, Lucas, who promptly seated me and introduced me to my server, Ken. Keep in mind that the staff is learning their trade, so be patient. A complementary duck wing w/confit was presented. Very good & nicely spiced. The mango butter complemented the fresh rolls. What a surprise, an excellent taste. Then the escargot......primo, in a garlicky butter. The Lyonnaise salad was similar like I had in France. Superb!!! The main entree was Entrecôte Grenadin w/haricots verts and pommes frites. Look it up if desired. It was excellent. As if I really needed dessert... Vanilla ice cream ( chilled dish ) fresh fruit a la flambé As mentioned, the waitstaff made some basic errors, but my experience here was fantastic. Kudos to the Institute. There is no sales tax added to the bill. No tipping is expected but you can leave a minimal cash donation if desired.

On the menu was Haitian soup, Trinidadian Doubles, Dominican rice and beans and Jerk Chicken. The chef was warm and kind and very thorough. She gave us the option off adding heat with a scotch bonnet pepper and showed us a couple of knife techniques to make cutting vegetables easier. We were supplied with aprons and name tags and worked in teams and chatted while chopping, seasoning and cooking. I appreciated the ice water and stools available to ensure I was comfortable for those hours of class. The food came out amazing and flavorful and there was plenty leftover to take home. Its great for a date night or friend group activity or even just solo bc everyone became so friendly.

Chef Sue was both personable and informative, and her demos were easy to follow along with the written recipes. During times when food was cooking or cooling, Sue also showed us some knife skills basics/tricks. The class went on for about 3 hours, including the time to eat at the end. I really enjoyed the experience, but in the future would choose a class with a more substantial output. The Latkes and Sufganiyot were both fried carbs, and we ended up grabbing dinner immediately after because we were still hungry for a real meal. Other than that, would recommend!

I cannot possibly put into words the incredible person and party planner extraordinaire that Clara…read moreis. Clara helped plan my son's first birthday from start to finish, and every step of the way she quelled any and all of my worries and anxieties. She helped me brainstorm for my decor, and came up with the most creative and adorable ideas. Her suggestions were always gentle and completely on point. She had the most incredible vendors to work with (balloons, cake, entertainment, bartending, food, decor) and executed my vision PERFECTLY. Best of all - she handled everything the day of with swift and ease so that I could truly enjoy myself. Clara is an absolute delight to work with; supportive, engaging, hard working, thoughtful, easy to talk to and always listens to exactly what you want/need. She will not sleep until she gets the job done perfectly (and trust me, she will). She was always thinking about my event and coming up with even better ways to do things that I would never have thought of myself. Not only did she plan the most fabulous party for me, but she has become a dear friend. She is truly a pleasure to work with. I will be using Clara for every single event I have to plan in the future. Don't hesitate to reach out to her - you will not regret it!!

From the very first meeting with Clara I knew I had found the right planner. She was detailed and asked insightful questions and wanted to get to know me and my fiance so she could give us exactly what we needed. It didn't feel like a transaction but like having coffee with a friend. I felt comfortable with her from the very beginning until saying goodbye to her the day of the wedding. If you are looking for a dedicated, detailed oriented planner, stop looking, you have found her.
