We had a wonderful time in our cooking class. We learned some new recipes, tried new food, and would definitely consider taking another class. The only thing if we took a 2nd class, we wouldn't want to spend so long at Oxbow. And, we definitely appreciated Julie's pre-class instructions suggesting we arrive early and eat breakfast at Oxbow. We went to Model Bakery and really enjoyed our food. We even went back after the class and got some goodies for the next morning when we had to head to the airport.…

We were visiting Napa and came with our family. My son enjoys cooking and I was looking for some different things to do, since half our family are not big wine drinkers. I booked this in advance and it was a wonderful experience! We first met at The Farmers Market and then we to a commercial kitchen facility to cook our recipes. Julie gave us a lot of good instruction before we started cooking! We all had partners and were in charge of creating our recipe for everyone else in the group. After we all followed our particular recipes, we sat and ate as a group. This was so much fun! We all enjoyed every minute of it and I am not a big cook! We learned so many things and the food was amazing! I highly recommend doing this if you are in the Napa area! It is also a great team building project for everyone to enjoy. She has a lot of experience and also explained how to purchase from the market. Everything was A++++. Thank you for the great experience and memories in Napa. Would do this again. …

I cook a lot and even make jam so I think I know my way around the kitchen. However shopping and cooking with Julie enlightened me in many areas. She showed us round fruits and veggies in the market and shortcuts in the kitchen. Our luncheon was delicious and in a lovely setting. We found out that she does cooking in Europe also.…

I can't say good enough things about this experience. Julie was an amazing host that helped bring together 8 people from different backgrounds through an exciting journey. My wife and I are not experienced chef's, but we picked up a lot of tips and techniques and are excited to bring them home to our family. Will definitely plan our next trip to Napa around one of "Cooking with Julie" events. Thank you Julie!!!!…

Based upon the exceptional recommendations in TripAdvisor, we signed up for a “Cooking with Julie” class. We had the best time so thank you TripAdvisor. We met Julie at the Oxbow Market in Napa where she taught us about produce selections, cooking oils, cheese and even salt (who knew there is more than Morton’s salt). Then we took our purchases back to the kitchen along with some wine, and with Julie’s expert guidance, created an exceptional meal. Julie is fun, knowledgeable, and patient (I can attest to her patience). We had a wonderful day and we recommend Julie's class for anyone -- those with significant knowledge in the kitchen and those with much less experience like me. You will have a great time.…
