Delightful adventure

I took my first class recently where we as a class made 3 different soups. Each as warming and delightful as the next! I couldn’t believe that Sharon had everything already cut and ready for us to cook. Our own Sous chef! She paired me beside someone who helped guide me thru and she constantly supported me throughout the night. I loved the people , the food and the awesome atmosphere . I can’t wait to take more ! I told Sharon I was especially wanting to take a pasta class. But they all look scrumptious . Thank you for a fun and tasty evening. Mr picky, my husband , ate all three containers I bought home (unfortunately for me)… leaving me less!
Thank you, I’ll be back!

Thank you for the review Theresa. It certainly was a pleasure meeting you and you were stationed next to Sally who is a Dream. Sally has been to many of our classes and she has the routine down pat of being ready to go when you get to our faciliity. As you can tell we like to pack our classes with all the delicious items! Sounds like Mr. Picky is a fan too!! Looking forward to seeing you back soon. ~sharon & the Team at Hobby Hill

Sourdough Is Better After Working With Sharon

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.

Cooking with Kids!

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!

Very peachy

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.

Mozzarella

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!

Peach jam and peach focaccia

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!
