Our Takeout Classics collection features hands-on cooking experiences inspired by your favorite restaurant-style dishes—made completely from scratch. These classes focus on technique, timing, and flavor-building so you can confidently recreate bold, comforting classics at home.
From crispy coatings and glossy sauces to perfectly cooked rice and balanced seasoning, you’ll learn why these dishes work—not just how to make them. Each class is instructor-led, interactive, and designed to help you achieve consistent, repeatable results in your own kitchen.
Whether you’re cooking for family, hosting friends, or just craving something familiar with a homemade twist, this collection delivers the skills behind the classics you love.
I really enjoyed the Cinnamon Buns class. The instructor was fun and easy to follow. The buns were delicious!
Fantastic sourdough class. Clear instruction, super knowledgeable teacher, and tons of practical tips I could use immediately. I walked in unsure of some aspects and walked out more confident — and my bread has never looked better. Highly recommend. Thank you Sharon!
We loved making hot fresh cinnamon buns! My husband and I both took the class so we had a double batch! We dropped half of our buns off to the hard working nurses at my mom’s nursing home. What a treat!
What can I say? I've lost count of how many classes I've taken with Sharon. I already considered myself a decent cook/baker. Over the past few years Sharon has not only elevated my skill level and knowledge, she has opened doors to new cultures and taught us recipes and techniques that I thought were out of reach. Do yourself a favor and book a class with her! I promise you'll get more out of it than just a seriously happy belly 😋
Our class was so informative and fun, and our allergies were meticulously noted and avoided. The cinnamon rolls we made were divine. Thank you so much for an awesome Saturday and we will be back!
Great hands on class. Great to see process from start and at the same time work with my own starter and introduce one change for a side by side experience.
What a great experience! 2 consecutive days separately with grandsons, ages 9 and 7. They were so excited and the experience did not disappoint! Sharon is a wonderful instructor, providing direction and suggestions, still allowing the boys room for creativity. The facility is clean and organized, staff is welcoming, and kids are talking about our next visit!
Thank you so much for sharing this — it means a lot to hear the boys were excited both days and that the experience matched it. Watching kids find their own creativity within a little guidance is one of my favorite parts of teaching, so I'm glad that came through. Can't wait to see them back in the kitchen soon!
Fun activity but Sharon needs an assistant so she can spend more time with participants and be more hands on.
Thank you for joining us and for sharing this! I hear you — with a full group each working their own process, it's tricky to be everywhere at once. If a more hands-on, personal experience is what you're looking for, a private class might be just the thing — happy to set one up anytime.
I really enjoyed learning how to make the actual cheese, however, I did not like being the only person in a group of couples. I was very uncomfortable. I don’t know how that can be rectified in the future, but I would certainly ask, in my case, that it not happen again. There were four couples and me. Personally, that’s the type of situation that I don’t care to be in, and, like I said, I don’t know how it can be rectified, but I’m trying to be honest. Sharon does an amazing job teaching and I’m looking forward to trying the mozzarella on my own, but my experience with this section was not as pleasant as my sourdough experience and my pasta/shrimp scampi experience.
Thank you so much for sharing this — both the kind words about the cheese-making itself and the honest feedback about the group. I want everyone to feel comfortable in class, and I'm sorry this one didn't land that way for you. Makeups can be a little unpredictable since classes fill differently each time, but I hear you and I'll keep this in mind. Really glad the sourdough and pasta/shrimp scampi classes were such good experiences — hope to see you back soon!
It was a very jam packed, no pun intended, class with lots of information. Wonderful recipe sheets to take home and I feel confident that I’ll be able to do it repeat this recipe in the future. Sharon is a very good teacher.
Thank you, Mary Sarah, for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the class and feel confident with the recipes. Sharon will be pleased to know her teaching made a positive impact. We look forward to seeing you again soon!Thank you so much for this! I love that you left feeling confident to make it again at home — that's really the whole goal. So glad the recipe sheets were helpful too. Hope to see you back in the kitchen soon!
