Sur La Table

"We took a cooking class with Ethan (A Winter in Paris) and we had a phenomenal time! He made it a point to talk about technique and general cooking tips, not just the dinner we were working on. He ensured our food was turning out great every step of the way and answered all the questions we had, even outside the specific topics we were discussing. Our dinner (roasted chicken, vegetables, and a crepe with orange caramel sauce) was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend taking a class with him or any of the amazing chefs at this location!"

"Went here for a cooking class and had an absolute blast! The head chef was super accommodating considering I have a food allergy! He was also super energetic and was passionate about his cooking! I felt like I walked away learning a lot more about cooking than I had! This is a fun date night idea or something to do with friends"

"This was such a great experience. I've done cooking classes at Central Market prior, which I enjoyed, but I felt as though Chef Nick really made it special. It was a little more intimate, as our group was smaller. Overall I cannot emphasize more on how great of a teacher Nick is. Toward the end of the class he asked for constructive criticism and if I gave any, I would be making it up. I felt he was well spoken, patient, efficient, and very clear on his instructions. There was even an impatient and disruptive member of the class, but it did not phase him and he handled it like a true professional. The class we were part of was Secrets of Great Sushi, where we made Spicy Tuna Rolls, Avocado Vegetable Hand Rolls, and shrimp tempura rolls. Every last bite was fantastic, and although I'm not a very good roller, it was still a fun and unique experience. I would highly recommend taking any classes featuring Chef Nick and we also can't forget about Sous Chef Jessica (she was also great)."

"We had the best experience at Sur La Table taking our first ever knife skills class with Chef Nick. It was a 2 hour course and we learned professional cutting techniques using 5 different brands of cutting knives. Chef Nick also taught the class how to make fresh garlic paste and peel tomatoes. I’d highly recommend this class for any level of person looking to up their cutting skills game. You also get 10% off anything at the store after the course. I’m looking forward to the dim sum class! We took the Latin American cooking class with Chef Alejandra and made the best empanadas ever!! Highly recommend this class, the empanada dough is perfection!"

"I took the Incredible Indian Flavors cooking class. We made garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and shrimp in roasted coconut sauce. We were split up into 4 groups of 4 and we took turns cooking. All the ingredients were pre measured which was a huge time saver. Chef Nick was very knowledgeable and friendly. The class lasted about an hour and 15 min, and then we had time to eat everything we made. I was surprised and a little bummed out by their strict no takeout policy, which means you can’t take anything you make home with you. They email you the recipe so you can make it again, but I did notice there were several differences between the instructions I received in class and the instructions in the recipe I was sent. The demographic seemed to be couples in their 30s and above, so I felt a bit odd as the youngest person there and being by myself. Looking back, I don’t think I learned much new information from this class. As someone who knows the basics of cooking and wanted to learn more, I’m not sure this class was the right fit. The best way to do that might just be through trial and error in my own kitchen. Because of how expensive the class was, I don’t think I’d take another cooking class here. However, I thought the class was a fun experience, and the food we made was amazing."
