Hosted a team event here and can't say enough good things about our experience! Everyone had a great time and wants to come back! I loved how they had so many different formats for cooking competitions or just to do a team cooking activity. Will definitely be returning!
Cultivate Kitchen recently hosted our team for a Bake Off event ! It was such a blast First they were extremely friendly and communicative in the planning process. Their responses were prompt and comprehensive. Even though our team had last minute schedule changes and were (all) running late. Not once did we feel rushed or like we were troublesome. They kept the drinks flowing and the apps coming. Our team ranges in terms of experience in baking but Monty and the other chefs there were great at guiding us through the process while still leaving room for creative freedom. This was such a blast and we will DEFINITELY be back!!!
This venue specializes in interactive culinary experiences for all ages, making it an ideal location for small team gatherings and delicious food. We recently visited to celebrate the completion of a project with a group of about ten people, and it proved to be a perfect setting for our celebration. The venue offers various team-building programs, such as the bake-off challenge, which we chose. With wine and other beverages available, the experience culminates in enjoying a full meal together. I particularly enjoyed the bake-off challenge, as it emphasized teamwork rather than individual effort, and was well-organized. At the end of the challenge, the chef judged the results and selected a winner, making the experience both interesting and fun. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to engage in small team-building activities followed by a meal.
Ken taught us amazing skills in the Cook for Yourself class. We made a whole chicken, chicken breasts (paillard) and salad with an easy dressing made from scratch, roasted vegetables, smashed potatoes, and zucchini pasta. Ken is a great teacher! I may take the class again when I have more energy. We got to eat the food we made so we got dinner out of it too! I loved this class so much and took some leftovers home :) I learned cooking skills to bring to every dish! You don't just learn recipes - you learn the principals of good cooking as well. I took more classes here and Andrew and Maria are great teachers too! You learn to make so many meals per class.
My family and I took a cooking class at Cultivate Kitchen, and it was such a wonderful experience! The food we made was absolutely delicious, and the class was fun and engaging from start to finish. Barbara and Monte were exceptional instructors — they not only guided us through each step with patience and expertise but also shared so many helpful tips we can use when cooking at home. We left inspired and excited to try out what we learned. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves good food and great company!
My partner and I had a great time learning a bunch of new holiday appetizers here. I liked that we learned lots of new techniques, food options/how to modify things, and generalizable skills. The instructor Ken did a great job teaching and also answering my many questions, and Monty kept things running smoothly behind the scenes and also answered some of my questions - a great team. It was a fun and educational date, and they even let us take home a bunch of leftovers at the end which will be another meal for us. Thank you so much!
Ken and Dexter were wonderful chefs that made the cooking experience that much better. Ken had a lot of fun facts about food that always kept our large 11-person group entertained. He also expertly crafted the menu for all our preferences and dietary restrictions. The fall(ish)-themed food we made was comprised of three courses: delicata squash tartlets, pollo a la brasa, and matcha white chocolate molten lava cakes. We were full by the end of the night (it was just the right amount of food) and it was all delicious. Cultivate owner Colleen was also very accommodating when planning the event and was always quick to respond. I appreciate all the staff from Cultivate Kitchen making our double birthday celebration such a success.
I took the Knife Skills on September 13th and it was incredible!! As an adult who has been cooking for myself for many years, but who never actually learned basic cutting techniques, this class was literally life-changing. Already in 24 hours I have saved so much time in my own kitchen (and I have a toddler so time-savings is a must.) The space itself is spotless and airy, in a great neighborhood (close to a coffee shop too which was so nice before the class). The class was super practical, fast-paced and included a LOT of practice of different cuts on different fruits and vegetables. We always learned the "official" French kitchen cut and then adapted it for home cooking, which I really appreciated. Ken, the instructor, was engaging and hilarious, while also giving actionable feedback to each participant. I went by myself and I was worried that it would be awkward because I didn't know anyone but the majority of participants were on their own too, and we were so busy during the class that it was fine if you didn't know anyone beforehand. I was also worried about the length of the class - 3 hours?! - but it went by so fast and every single minute was useful. If you are a home cook who wants to up your game, and never learned any of the "correct" techniques, I can't recommend the Knife Skills class enough!! I look forward to trying out the other classes and bringing my husband next time!!
Carol thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful feedback!
Overall had a good night and enjoyed the meal. I would say this is a better experience if you are in a group of 4 or great for team events. As a couple cooking in a group of 5 and strangers fingering the food we would eat wasn't ideal. Maybe just not the experience I imagined. Kitchen felt very cramped. Our stations felt like an afterthought. We all 5 took turns in the prep work... didn't learn too much so I'd say our experience was more of cooking with strangers than a cooking class. Not what I expected, especially for the price but we made the most of it. 👍
Did the knife skills class this last weekend and it was fantastic. It's the first in a four part cooking basics series and I cannot wait to take the rest of the classes. I was already comfortable with a knife in the kitchen but of course there's always more to learn and that I did. My confidence is higher and so are my skills. Looking forward to learning more!
