Last week my wife and I took one of the many cooking classes they have at CG appliance. We both really enjoyed it. We had been looking at a few options for taking cooking classes and when we saw an ad in the paper for theirs we decided to try it out since it was close to where we live.Here's why we liked it so much(and we plan on taking other classes too): 1Hands on class- this was a 3 hour class on appetizers and tapas. There were about 6 different things we made that night and they were all really good. They send you home with copies of all the recipes. 2- Fun- the chef who teaches the class is a real nice guy and easy to work with. He is knowledgable about the recipes, how to use the "tools" of the kitchen and keep things moving well. 3-Lots of different classes- This class was just what I was hoping it would be and I'm planning on taking about 8-10 classes in the future. There are about 20(?) different classes to choose from.From the research I did the prices seem pretty reasonable and their is no long term commitment. They also have free parking and offered a 40% discount (during the class) on kitchen ware that they sell . (There was no pressure to by anything.) We also found a coupon in the Chronicle for "buy one class-get one free" so all in all If you're thinking of taking some cooking classes you should check them out.
