The Learning Kitchen

Our journey to The Learning Kitchen was to learn how to cook Chicken Saltimbocca, an Italian dish made with Chicken breast, thin sliced prosciutto Ham, Fontina Cheese & white wine. Sometimes following a recipe out of a cookbook doesn't get you to the finish line. That's where the Learning Kitchen comes in. In a single class, Gayle our instructor taught us to make our own salad dressing, a creamy risotto (without cream) and our main course of Chicken Saltimbocca. This was a fun learning experience where you get to eat what you cook. They won't make you a chef but they will definitely upgrade your culinary skills. You get to interact with other students and share cooking ideas. We found the class to be a very enjoyable experience, the food was delicious and we learned some tricks of the trade.

We so enjoyed our class! I ran across The Learning Kitchen and found that they had a Indian Cooking class. I have a friend who loves Indian food. This was a couples class so I called her up to see if she wanted to be my other half in the class. So we signed up in October for a class in January. Now I am glad we signed up early as we found out that there were 80 people on the waitlist for the class. They told us it was one of the most popular classes. Class was for two hours 6-8pm and I arrived pretty early at about 5:20pm and they were getting everything ready but still greeted me as I came in the door and showed me where the aprons were, the restrooms, the complimentary water, and the wine & drinks available for purchase. I did indulge in a Riesling. They also have some kitchen items, olive oils, butter bells, etc for purchase. I washed up and put my apron on and it smelled so good in the kitchen already from all of the open pre-measured spices. My girlfriend arrived and we filled out a name tag and got ready to cook! There were 14 people in the class! It was a very friendly atmosphere and for some it was not their first time. Each couple had a cooktop with pans, a cutting board, spoons, forks, chef knife, mortar and pestle, tongs, a spoon for stirring the sauces, and pre-measured spices. Under our station were our dinner plates, naan dough, aluminum foil for the naan, gloves, and our prepped ingredients including marinating chicken. They led us through each cooking step and explained about the different spices, the cooking was a breeze really. There was conversation through-out and really a relaxed, fun, well planned class. Also there was an added bonus at the end when I purchased an item from the shop of 10% off the day of class. Everyone finished at the same time and plated their food. We plated Saag Paneer, Chicken Makhani (butter chicken), Jeera Chawal (cumin rice that was pre-made), and Naan. We enjoyed our meal and decided we would come again for another class. As we walked out a couple from the restaurant next door stopped us and asked us how it was and if we thought it was worth it. We answered that we had a fun night and learned a few things and that we would recommend trying it.

I've always loved this place. I've taken cooking l classes over the past few years. So evidently there's a new chef teaching. I did not enjoy his class. He makes smart-mouth comments. When you ask him a question, he just gives a smart mouthed answer. We pulled mozarella. And I asked where you can get fresh, unpulled mozarella, and he said from a cow. He never really answered my question and someone else in the class had to tell me. After that, I didn't feel like I could ask any questions. The previous chef welcomed questions and was a wealth of information. This guy just wanted to brag about the celebrity chefs he knew. He also went way too fast like he was in a hurry to get out. I won't be back back fortunately, there are other options.

Learning kitchen is a great place to go with a friend or significant other. They hold many classes and you don't have to be an expert to try. First time we went we made Paella and Arroz con Leche. I very much enjoyed the experience of learning how to make these dishes and found out I like Arroz con Leche. Highly recommend doing this if you're interested in learning something new. Instructor's were friendly and helpful.

The Learning Kitchen was a phenomenal experience. We went to an authentic Thai cooking class for my husband's birthday. We made a glass noodle salad and curry. There were 4 different levels of spice for the curry. My favorite was the peanut curry. Our lead chef was fantastic- he met each participant at the level of cooking skill that they have. They also have a small store available that we purchased a salt well from. We definitely want to go back for another class.

I am very happy with this establishment. I enjoy very much the style of cooking along with the instructor. The staff are terrific. Shout out to Neil, Elena, and Brittany. I WILL be back. Food is delicious and it's a lot of fun to make your own food and eat at a beautiful table setting. There is also very good selection of beverages, both, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I would highly recommend this place. The only drawback is that the head chefs do not let you sit and enjoy your meal and get to know the people in attendance. They talk the WHOLE time preventing any discussion at the table with the other guests. Please, let us get to know our neighbors and enjoy our meal without interruption. Other than that, the place is fantastic!!!

Came here for a work event and really had a hands down awesome experience! We decided to do the Homemade Corn Tortilla Street Tacos as a group. We had a couple vegetarians and we were able to sub in Beyond Beef instead of Carne Asada. Upon arriving we were offered beverages right away - we all opted for water while cooking and beers while eating. The set up here is great - each person gets their own cook top and makes all portions of the meal. Each cook top was set up with ingredients in the correct portions - we were taken through them all before starting. The chef had pre-chopped some of the ingredients for the taco slaw, but others we were left to chop and he instructed us through holding the knife correctly and how to chop each item in the correct way. After making the slaw, we moved onto the taco shells - we made our own taco shells from scratch! This was probably the coolest part of the experience. After the shells we learned how to cook the meat and then finally got to enjoy our tacos! We made 2 tacos with Fish and 2 with the Carne Asada and had cilantro rice, chips and guac and other toppings on the side. The entire meal was delicious and our chef was super nice and attentive. I definitely learned a lot about basic cooking skills and techniques, as well as tacos. Having the ability to make all portions of the meal makes me feel more confident in trying to reapply at home. I definitely recommend The Learning Kitchen if you are looking for a cooking class as the set up is one that can't be beat!

Street Taco and Corn Tortilla Class was awesome!! Chef Montes once again didn't disappoint! We had a blast and can't wait to have taco night this weekend!! Already signed up for another class!!
