(More) I am truly saddened that you had such a unpleasant experience at our Rehearsal for Thanksgiving class last Sunday. We always shop for fresh produce within 24 hours of our classes and are very picky about only buying the finest vegetables from two local purveyors. It is not at all uncommon to have to pick out and throw away some produce, no matter how fresh. What I told my students was to discard any mushrooms (for the stuffing) that were less than perfect; the same would be done in any commercial or home kitchen.Regarding the fried turkey, you are likely unfamiliar with the appearance of a fried turkey, which always is darker and crisper than roasted. The bird's extremeties and skin always come out very dark. The turkey is fried a certain amount of time, based on it's weight. If you had raised your concerns and misunderstandings during or after class, we would gladly have cleared up any confusion and made sure that you left happy. We hope you will return to For the Love of Food. (Hide)

I was a little disappointed that it wasn't as hands on as I was expecting. I was also expecting to take home a lot of cookies and we only got about 10 cookies. The recipes were good, but not really kid friendly. The best part was the sugar cookies that the kids got to cut out & decorate themselves. More of those types would have been great! And the class ran long. I think 5 types of cookies was too many to fit into 2 1/2 hours. My daughter did have a great time & that's the important thing (Hide)

We are sorry that you did not have the stellar foodie experience we strive for. Chef Diane always endeavors to provide hands on learning opportunities, culminating in massive amounts of food, so nobody leaves hungry.The students made 4 different doughs/batters and shaped all the cookies, except for the sugar cookie dough which had to chill for several hours, so it was made earlier in the day, but still the children rolled and cut the cookies. In hindsight, we acknowledge that making 5 types of cookies was a bit overambitious. However, we made 22 dozen cookies, which would have provided each parent/child with 33 cookies to take home. We wish you had mentioned your concerns before leaving, so we could have ensured you left with enough cookies, and make sure your child was involved in the hands-on rolling, cutting, and decoration of the 264 cookies. We are pleased that your daughter had a great time at For the Love of Food and KIDS COOK! (Hide)

However, we did not do any cooking. We chose seared duck breast as our dish. We prepared the duck, very simple, and chopped a few veggies. We were told the chef would help us "cook duck later". Never happened. We were eating appetizers when we realized the chef was cooking the duck across the kitchen. Not only did we not have a hands on cooking experience, we didn't even get a demo. One more thing that really bothered me. We were preparing a dinner with 14 other people, we knew none of them. Never was it suggested, or even offered, that we wash our hands. So we ate a dinner prepared by hands that may, or may not have been washed any time recently. YUCK! Would not recommend this "cooking school" Have had much better experience elsewhere. (Hide)

(More) We are truly sorry that your experience did not totally meet your expectations, and regrets you did not speak up about your concerns during the class. Diane recalls your group who prepped the duck dish were invited to watch and participate in the cooking of the duck breast and only part of your group came over, since you were enjoying the camaraderie and the wine. Apparently, we should have made sure that everyone in your group clearly heard the chef's offer to help with the final preparation, but why didn't you just walk over and participate? Regarding your concerns about hand washing, Chef Diane is ServSafe Certified and knows the importance of hand washing prior to food preparation. The very first thing we tell students before we begin cooking, is to go to our sinks and wash their hands BEFORE touching any food. We can only assume that you were one of the couples who arrived late, or did not pay attention and missed this crucial step. We hope to see you at For the Love of Food. (Hide)

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful class last night. The sushi was a huge hit with my husband when I got home.
I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of your class and your amazing kitchen set up. You definitely have a LOVE of food and cooking that is quite infectious. Your advice, your tips, your humor and your reminder to experiment has left me empowered and more confident taking on the art of sushi-making and my culinary skills in general.
I've already hinted to my husband about coming with me to your food and film classes and have recruited a friend to take your how to think like a chef series class, so you will be seeing me again in the near future.
Thanks again and Bon Appetit!

Thank you for a very special six weeks of cooking classes. I was concerned that the course would be too remedial for my modest knowledge of the culinary arts. As the weeks went on, I was pleased with the many new skills and techniques I learned under your tutelage. You advertised your classes will help you think like a chef and that is exactly what was delivered. My confidence level to experiment in the kitchen has greatly increased! I recommend your class to anyone who wants to be a better cook. I will wear my For The Love of Food chef's coat with much pride.
