Nothing to It! Cooking School & Kitchen Store

I wish there were more stars.I recently heard about this place & decided to give it a try,& omg it was the best food experience I've had in a long time. The sandwich I ordered was superb, the Spilunker, terrific, perfectly made as if tgey wanted someone to actually eat it. The course mustard ajoli was just right, along with the caramelized onion & light fluffy ficasia bread & perfectly cooked roast beef subilne. I had the manderine chicken salad as my side. It was dressed perfectly, sweet & tangy chopped so it was easy to eat. I'm rarely speechless but when my server came & asked me how my meal was I just gushed.I had the coconut cake for desert, very good, light yet sticky glaze, with a dolup of fresh whipped cream made my lunch very memorable. I also got a fresh chocolate chip cookie to go. My only complaint would be the chair was too tall for the table I sat at which made the distance to my mouth too far from the delectable feast I experienced. This will be on my go to lunch place for quite some time...My lunch was $11.95 plus $2.50 for tea & $6.96 for the cake & $1.50 for the cookie. Some might think it too expensive but for the flavor rich meal well worth the price. More...

I wanted to surprise my fiancé with a little date night so I signed us up for the cioppino and pot roast class. We get there & come to find out I’m an idiot and only signed myself up! They were super accommodating and let me pay for my fiancé right then and there and they set up an extra spot for him. The staff is all really friendly and Lara (owner) is very funny and knowledgeable. It’s very fun because everything is all measured out for you and you follow the recipe with 4-5 other ppl. And there’s wine! We made some new friends, got to eat yummy food & we didn’t have to do any dishes. We are already planning on coming back!! More...

My family have taken quite a few classes here. They are geared toward younger classes and adult classes. We unfortunately have a child that was in the middle. We would put him in younger classes and he was too old for the children and recipes. So we put him in adult classes with his father and he would be the only child. I do have to say they had a great time. Over all the classes were designed well, the food was fresh and the classes were fun. More...

My wife and I had lunch there today. Amazing!!! The BLT Turkey sandwich may be the best I've ever tasted. Ana and Saul were so nice and helpful. We will definitely be eating there again. I would absolutely recommend NTI to everyone! More...

I took the truffle making class on 12/18/16. Good information about chocolate. It was a "sweet" class. My family will enjoy the truffles I will create.

I am amazed at the fast service, delicious food, presentation and menu. It's awesome to go in a restaurant and find glueten free bread without getting an eye roll. All homemade food is a huge plus for me. I love the soups, salads, sandwiches, everything especially the classes! The front of the restaurant / cullinary school has many kitchen gadgets I have never seen. I purchased some lilly pads to cover my dishes. BPA FREE too. 5 STARS! More...

We made homemade cinnamon rolls. It was amazing. We learned about yeast, flour and cinnamon. I never knew there was so much of a difference between brands. You could taste these individually in the rolls. Oh so good!! More...

What a blast! My husband and I took the gumbo, jambalaya, and beignets class together. At first when we sat down and read over the recipes, I felt a little intimated. But once we got settled into our stations and started mingling all the ingredients it all came together.

The crew was super friendly floating around like kitchen fairies making sure things stayed tidy, sharing tips and encouragement. We can't wait to go back! The best part was eating all the yummies! More...

Taking a class at Nothing To It was more than I expected and everything I had hoped for. Learning from a master is so rewarding. I'm getting ready to put into practice some of what I learned yesterday and am very excited to be doing so. I look forward to the February class I signed up for and I think I will be taking a monthly class there after. I can highly recommend you take a cooking class if you love to cook and eat delicious food. More...

We had a work get together here tonight... What a place! I learned so much about grilling, and thoroughly enjoyed cooking the delicious food we prepared. The women who work here are just wonderful. They're very people-oriented and obviously enjoy what they're doing - both cooking and teaching. I will definitely be back. I've already told my mother in law we'll be going in for a class, and am planning to do the 6 week program with a friend. I can't wait to stop in and shop around in their little store too. I can't believe I had no idea this wonderful place was right there! What a gem! � Thank you, ladies, for an excellent evening! ��� More...

I have gone to many classes at Nothing To It over the years and Lara does an amazing job of making cooking fun as well as delicious!

Every visit there has been wonderful and I would recommend it very highly! More...

This has become one of our favorite places for lunch. The food is fresh and tasty. The menu is just big enough to give anyone something they would like but not so big that you get lost in it. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is always delivered quickly and the soup is hot, the salads are freshly tossed and the sandwiches are mouth watering. More...
