Silver Whisk

On this occasion, it was a Valentines Day couples cooking class planned for just a small group of couples, maybe 3-4, but as things go, not everyone is always committed, so on this occasion it was me and my special girl. Instead of actually having to cook, which I love to do also, both Chef Jake and Myrna hosted us with a 5 course dinner.  What was an added highlight this night was that we had the pleasure to also enjoy the meal and company of their parents.  All the ingredients this night were all fresh and procured the same day as is their policy in doing these classes or hosting dinner parties and you can bring you own wine or beverage (s) of choice.  The 5 course meal started with:1st course:  a nice clam chowder soup, nice chunky pieces smooth and silky but could have had just a touch more of a seafood taste to it.  I would give 4 out of 5 stars. 2nd course:  tossed green salad, with carmalized onions and pecans (I think), goat cheese. There were a few other little accoutrements, but what really enhanced this salad was the dressing.  I want to say it was some raspberry vinaigarette.  I'd give that salad 4 of 5 stars.3rd course:  crab cakes, which these crab cakes probably one the best I've had.  They had a good balance of crab, but instead of using bread crumbs or lots of mayo the cooked or folded in sauteed small diced vegetables. It all came together perfectly and had a wonderful roumalade sauce.  I'd give this 5+ out of 5 stars.  4th course: Filet mignon. The filet was perfectly seared with their own dry spice and cooked medium rare.  The mashed potatoes where hand whipped and you could taste the potato and not overwhelmed with other things you find in restaurants and of course the dish accompanied with asparagus.  This is nothing new you would find anywhere else, but they perfectly executed it and that's what matters.  Definitely a 5 of 5 star dish.  5th course: Last but not least for desert were dipped strawberries in freshly made chocolate.  What was nice about this was it was a perfect finish or chaser if you will to all the other dishes.  I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Silver Whisk if ever wanting to either host a cooking event for either personal or gather a bunch of your work colleagues for a team building event.  silverwhiskcooking.com/c… More...

Myrna and Jake came to my house last week and did an in home cooking class.  It was absolutely fantastic.  The food was outstanding and they let us participate as much (or as little) as we wanted.  They brought all the food and did a wonderful job describing what they were doing as they went along.  BBQ shrimp and home made scratch biscuits were just wonderful as a starter and we rolled right in to the honey glazed pork tenderloin and then the chocolate bread pudding was a great end.  They were so much fun and we all just had a really fun and relaxing evening.  I would use them again in an instant !!

Working with Silver Whisk was a personalized experience from start to finish - and we're in the business of personalization, which makes it even better. My company had a personal Iron Chef Competition where we competed with two teams, one doing Texan cuisine and one doing San Franciscan Thai fusion. They were extremely professional and focused on us having a good time as a group. The cooking was hands on which was the best part - they didn't just let us watch them cook in a kitchen. We're so excited to have a relationship with Silver Whisk and will most definitely be having events with them in the future. We love Myrna and Jake! They are the best. We will definitely be back.

We attended the Chinese cooking class held at Silver Whisk last night. Dorothy Huang, the featured Chef was brilliant! Her personality couldn't have been better or more charming, and you were naturally drawn to watching and interacting with her and cooking! The food turned out to be amazing, and to know that we were eating Chinese food that we had a hand in preparing was a hoot. Owner, Chef Myrna and her staff Jake and Louie were a pleasure and were always attentive to our needs.We would certainly recommend Silver Whisk to anyone, and for sure we will be back again. More...

I'm not going to lie. I am an excellent cook and probably don't need to be taking cooking classes. I own an extremely high end range and have collected some cooking equipment that is in the extreme high quality range. That being said, I have an addiction to curiosity, which as we all know can sure get you into trouble sometime.I took the basic class with a co-worker of mine, just to see what the whole thing is about and really had a good time. Someone else here mentioned the aprons and they really are great. We took a lot of Instragrams of each other and got a ton of likes.The meal we prepared was simple, but fun. I was glad there wasn't a big time culinary attitude from the staff - like other places in town which will remain nameless. They allowed us to chop the vegetables ourselves and even cut raw meat, which is sometimes prohibited in other venues.All in all, an excellent time. I only wish they would try to incorporate a "dog night" in the future where you are free to bring your pets. I think this could be fun and bring a lot of people in who have a hard time finding pet sitters. More...

I took the risotto class and instantly fell in love with this place.  There was a small class of about nine, and both Myrna and Jake talked us through how to make four different risottos.  It is not feasible for the entire class to be hands-on for all participants at all times because even at nine people, there is not enough room at the two stoves for everyone to be working.  However, everyone had an opportunity to cook on at least one of the risottos.  I am sure the same could not be said of classes at other large-scale businesses, unless you are wanting to pay for private lessons or attend culinary school.In reading past reviews, I agree that conversation is free flowing and not always focused on cooking.  However, Chef Myrna happily answered any and all questions I asked.  As a customer, you just need to speak up politely and ask for the information.  I learned a great deal and I also had a lot of fun visiting with Myrna and Jake as well as my fellow classmates.  I do not recommend this class for people who take themselves too seriously.  It is about having fun while you learn some new dishes.  So, mission accomplished, in my opinion.With regards to past reviews being frustrated at finding out the wine must be paid for... the wine list with glass and bottle prices was clearly displayed at my seat.  The wine glass was already at my place setting, but the same thing happens at some restaurants.  You are not surprised you have to pay for the wine at a restaurant, so paying at Silver Whisk should not be a surprise either.When in doubt... ask a question.  It is that simple.  :)I look forward to taking additional classes at Silver Whisk in the future!Thank you for a fun evening and lots of information!Once I am e-mailed the recipes, I will change my review to five stars.  ;) More...

Never expected a cooking class could be so much fun. As part of a corporate team building event, I attended an Iron Chef Challenge cooking class at Silver Whisk. We divided into two teams each led by the head chefs.Outstanding-Service of the staff and their personalities-The amount of fun we had as a team-Of course, the food (pan seared asian salmon over fried rice noodles and a brocolette bell pepper stir fry; other team made spicy meatball gyros; nutella crepes and caramelized apple a la mode for desserts)-The interior of the kitchen-The cooking apronsSo-so-Would have liked slightly more complex foods to make cooking more of a challenge; though cooking a salmon is difficultNot so good-Nothing hereA side note: being the klutz that I sometimes am, I sliced into my finger while dicing apples. The head chef took me aside, bandaged me, made sure the station was sanitized, and really made me feel at ease. Then another chef came in and taught me proper technique, which is a lifelong lesson that I needed and am thankful for. Thank you Chefs Jay and Myrna More...

I attended Rock & Roll Sushi with Chef Jake Goober and it was amazing. The facility is beautiful, the wine selection is great. The staff is so friendly and fun!

Had no idea this place was so close by!  We discovered Silver Whisk via a Groupon for a cooking class.  We used it on the "Rock 'n Roll Sushi class with Jake".  It was a nice small setting with about 14-16 ppl.  It was a unique and fun date night with hubby. They had a musician playing live music, and he was really good (although I wouldn't call it Rock 'n Roll). The pace of the class was great, but the instructors seemed to be talking over each other at times.  It was hands on the entire time.  I felt like we learned a new kitchen skill that we could replicate at home.  The only constructive feedback is that they could have the counter stations better prepared up front, so that the volunteer/aids weren't scrambling the entire time. (I felt bad we were ALL asking for things constantly and the two helpers never slowed down.)  And, don't forget ask for a kitchen towel for this class up front - you'll be needing to wipe your hands frequently, and napkins stick to your sticky hands from the rice.  I would return and check out another class - it was a fun environment.  (Heads up - the wine is really expensive, not a wide range of pricing - extra revenue obviously comes from this, as they are constantly asking if you want more wine.)

What can I say about this place, It has been the gift that keeps on giving. I originally found out about this place by my Beautiful Lety who got us cooking classes for a great date night. We are now 3 times repeat offenders, and each time gets better. The staff is energetic and interactive. They create a fun learning atmosphere and the food we make is great. What I love about this last one, Mardi Gas Madness was the element of a live musician. It was the perfect compliment. We went and celebrated a friends birthday(we will find any excuse to go back) and he said this was his best birthday ever!! And he is old so he has had a few haha. Chef Myrna is a great host and really makes everyone feel welcomed and likes we are at a friends house. Love it and will be back for burgers and beers night and italian date night. Thank for having such great classes and oh yeah cant forget about #jakeCanBake !!!!! More...

We had a company outing (team building event) at Silver Whisk and it was AWESOME! We had a pretty large group and they were very accommodating and well organized as far as the logistics were concerned. There were customized parting gifts for everyone, a guy playing guitar and singing, as well as plenty of food and drink. We did an Iron Chef competition which allowed us to split into 4 separate groups, each led by a different chef. At the end of the competition winners and losers were declared and prizes awarded. If you're looking to plan a fun, creative, and interactive event for your corporate outing I would highly recommend Silver Whisk. More...

My husband and I attended the "Simply Tapas" night.  We sat at a table with 2 other ladies and this was our cooking group.  We ended up making coconut and ginger mussels, eggplant cannelloni, and bananas foster nutella crepes.  They made orange short ribs ahead of time for us.  We have a blast!  Yes, it was mainly participatory with all of the ingredients cut and prepared for us.  However, my husband and I cook all the time and we enjoyed just cooking and eating--no clean up or shopping! Hooray! The recipes were delicious and achieved with just a few simply ingredients.  Like that part a lot!  The staff was super friendly and knowledgable.  Service was wonderful. There were parts of the night where the whole room was cheering and laughing.  We really had a good time.  Thanks Silver Whisk! More...

Get in touch with your culinary side with a cooking class!I gave my hubby/me a class ('Southern Food" with Jake G) using a Groupon and was not disappointed.  Fabulous night enjoying meeting new people, learning cooking techniques and tips and some hands-on experience (they do 90% of the work and walk you through it, letting you do the 10% to get the idea).  Everyone seemed to enjoy the leisurely class and a week later we were emailed recipes so we can become brilliant chefs at home!  Move over, Julia Childs.  This is a great way to spend an evening that will reap benefits for a long time if you listen/learn. For those who have a babysitter (we didn't), just realize that sometimes things don't go to plan despite your best efforts so although our class was longer than 7-9 (through no fault of their own), we loved every minute of it!  Check it out!

A lot of fun, the pear and butternut squash soup was fantastic.  Scott, the chef, was very relaxed and chatty.  Only drawback was the 4-5 other attendees who wanted to make sure the rest of us knew what great cooks they were. Non stop  giving Scott advise on how he should be doing it.  Annoying.The rest of the class was there to learn and enjoyed themselves, some very nice people.Will definitely take some more classes.

My wife and I had a sprint at work and needed meals cooked for us so when we got home late we could just throw the food in the oven to heat it up and eat before hitting the sack. I had never had a private chef before, so this was a new experience. Chef Myrna customized our menu to our diet and preferences and delivered the food every Monday morning. The food was delicious, we had great diversity in the food, and we were completely satisfied. If I didn't enjoy cooking so much, we would certainly have Chef Myrna prepare all our meals! More...

I have been sampling Chef Myrna's recipes for awhile now, and I'm always amazed at the combination of flavors she creates.  Today I had Asian Chicken salad for example.  Sounds simple, you've probably had it before, but her recipe tastes so much better.  I don't know why and I can't explain it, she just knows how to craft perfect recipes.  If you have a favorite meal, and you would like to know how she makes it, or if you want to try something new, I highly recommend you attend Silver Whisk Cooking School.  You WILL NOT be disappointed!

I first bought my groupon because my husband and I were looking for a cooking class date. While getting set up for our class there was a bit of confusion and I slipped through the cracks a few times with getting into a class. An apology was made and assured it wouldn't happen again so I finally was assured by the owner that I was in a class. So I was a bit unsure when arriving seeing how I didn't get the best first impression with scheduling of classes. I will say Chef Myrna and her staff made me forget all those issues and we had a blast. Their professionalism, fun attitude and laid back atmosphere made me feel at home. Our date was amazing, lots of drinks, instruction, laughs and food!I loved it so much the first time I decided to have my 30th birthday party there! The registration process was a bit shakey again, something that needs to be worked on but again all those issues were forgotten by everyone at my party. I love this place and will come again and probably host another party there sometime! I love it! More...

What a great time! My boyfriend and I decided to try out Silver Whisk to get a more intimate cooking class environment. Chef Myrna sure did deliver! We walked out of the class feeling so confident about cooking the dishes on our own that we had made that evening. I would definitely recommend taking one of her classes. They're the same price as the other cooking classes in town, but the class size is smaller and you get to make everything yourself.One tip: you can bring your own wine. Don't forget! More...

I took a cupcake decorating class at the Silver Whisk today.  The class was fun, informative, and packed with tips, tricks, and techniques, as well as plenty of inspiration for future cooking endeavors.  It was a fabulous group in attendance, and everyone shared various cooking experiences and techniques.  Chef Myrna has a big personality, with a variety of experience and knowledge and most importantly is an excellent teacher.  I would recommend her classes.  The facility is just gorgeous, and there is an awesome kitchen store (Faraday's) with friendly/welcoming  staff in the same shopping complex (love kitchen shops and this is a good one).  It may be a bit of a drive for some, but it is a scenic one, and the toll road makes it a snap (just watch your speed).
