  I had never been to a cooking class before, and I am so glad that my first one was here at Sur La Table La Jolla! We had a team building event, therefore it was a private party, and it was so much fun! When I first arrived in the store, I noticed right away that this was a special place. So many interesting and beautiful gadgets, cookware, dishes, etc that I would probably fill a whole page just listing about! This store is definitely going to be on my list for when I head out to do my shopping for the holidays and hostess gifts! When I finally made my way to the kitchen in the back of the store, we met with the darling Resident Chef, Gabriel, who introduced us to his staff, got us all signed in, hands washed, aprons donned, and set up with a delicious appetizer of a tomato and cheese tart. We had quite a large group, about 24 people, but Chef Cherisse very masterfully handled our enthusiasm and kept us on track so that we were able to complete two dishes during our time: a lovely Butternut Squash Risotto with Fried Sage Leaves, and a Beef Tenderloin Medallions with Shallot-Cabernet Glaze. Danielle, Katie and Debra worked tirelessly and seamlessly in the background to ensure a delightful experience for us all. While they plated our meals, we had some time to shop in the store, and everyone on the staff was so helpful and friendly. As part of our class, we received a packet of recipes and other helpful info, and a 10% discount coupon to use while we were shopping that night. After we enjoyed our creations, we were treated to some coffee drinks and dessert chocolates, and had some time to socialize while the staff cleaned up for us. Sur La Table offers public cooking classes nearly every day, and also schedules private cooking events for parties of at least 10 participants. I highly recommend this as a great idea for date night, Bachelorette parties, children's birthday parties, Girls' Night Out, corporate team building, or just something fun to do on a free evening!

  Wow what a blast! I don't usually like to cook but the class given by Chef Cherisse Holbert was just too much fun! She simplified the instructions and broke down the steps, so that even my dish turned out well. Plus there is amazing gadgetry to simplify every task in the kitchen, so that a dine out / delivery girl like myself can become a gourmet chef! I recommend this shop for everyone in San Diego.
