"My birthday present this year from my man was a gift certificate to Cooking Uptown - I have been so excited to take a class here since I moved to the Queen City. This place is so unique its a gourmet cooking store with all your favorite cooking things - utensils, appliances, dishes, knives, gadgets but its so much more. You could compare it to a William Sonoma \nof sorts. What make this place so unique is its independently owned and each month they offer a ton of cooking classes from professional knife skills class to french, Italian, Latin, you name it they will have it I'm sure at some time.\n\nI really need to take the knife class but this class sells out really fast - make sure you start looking at the class selection well in advance so you can get a spot. \n\nI just finished my sauce class and it was so much fun...and the best part is I learned a lot. Valentine's day dinner was a success this year Scallops Beurre Blanc - thank you Cooking Uptown & than you Nikki Moore you are a great cook and teacher.\n\n*side note they are offering kids cooking classes for the summer."^^ .
