rev:text	I visited Cooking Uptown for the first time this week when I attended one of the cooking classes they hold. Everyone was superfriendly at check-in and then I had the opportunity to browse the store prior to class. The store part is pretty impressive. It's like a mini Williams-Sonoma / Sur La Table of kitchen goods. Although not dirt-cheap, items for sale are very reasonably priced (I thought). I'd give the store a solid four stars. The class held a dozen people, and we were making six different menu items (Asian appetizers). "Students" were asked to split up into groups of two and pick a menu item/recipe to stand beside. This is where my interest in the class started to wane and I felt a bit disappointed in the "class." We weren't really "taught" or shown how to make the items. We were given the recipe, the ingredients, and were advised to go at it on our own, with the instructor stopping by to check in on our progress, help us along, and give us some tips. Don't get me wrong -- the instructor was fantastic. Nikki Moore was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and good at what she does. She rates five stars. I guess this is just how Cooking Uptown holds its class sessions. Although I made something I had never made before (steamed pork dumplings), I didn't feel that I really learned anything from anyone. I could have stayed home and followed a recipe where I knew where all my kitchen tools and ingredients were instead of hunting around for them in a foreign kitchen. For $65, I guess I expected it to be more like a cooking school (e.g., Johnson & Wales) where it's a step-by-step learning process. I think I learn more from watching cooking shows on The Food Network. So for the instruction/school part of Cooking Uptown, I can only rate two stars for its lack of actual instruction. At the end of "class," we were given the opportunity to eat everything that we made. Everything tasted fantastic and there was more than enough to fill everyone up for dinner. However, for $65, I can eat pretty darn good and not have to do any prep or clean-up work! So..."yea" to the store, but "meh" to the cooking class structure.
