This review is solely for the Salud! cooking class offered by Whole Foods. I didn't even know Whole Foods offered cooking classes until I did a random google search for cooking classes in the area.
I signed up for the Summer Tapas class that took place last month and was so pleasantly surprised! On the website, you get the choice to sign up for hands-on or demo classes. The tapas class was 'hands on.'
The cooking school is located on the third floor of Whole foods and offers a state-of-the line kitchen (but is that really a surprise?). I was a part of a class of about 10 or 12 that was broken into two groups. The menu is explained beforehand and there are kitchen volunteers on hand to also assist with prep and service!
We were offered a glass of delicious sangria and a Spanish appetizer while waiting for the class to begin. You definitely have the opportunity to sip and cook throughout the class time. Also, you get the chance to have a full meal by getting eat to everything that's cooked throughout the evening.
The chef Michael was great! Friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. If you're looking for something to do with girlfriends/spouse or partner/or even by yourself, I highly suggest taking part in a cooking class.
