Recent reviews of Farm to Table Experience with Jamie Aquino

• 5/5 from Colleen Volk, attended Sep 2026: What an incredible experience with Jamie! We started our day at the Kendall Yards Farmers Market, picking out beautiful fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and bread, and then headed back to the kitchen to turn all of our finds into the most AMAZING farm-to-table Italian meal. Jamie is an absolute joy! She is fun, warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and makes cooking feel easy and approachable. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and enjoyed every minute of the experience. And the best part—I’ve already made several of the recipes she taught us and sent home with us! They were that good. ️ If you’re looking for a unique, delicious and truly memorable cooking experience, I cannot recommend Jamie enough. I would absolutely do another class with her!
• 5/5 from Lisa Emanuel, attended Sep 2026: We had such a great time with Chef Jamie! It was great starting at the farmers market, talking with the vendors, picking out fresh ingredients, and learning about some produce I probably wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Then we went back to the kitchen and cooked everything together, which made the whole experience even more fun. It was relaxed, interesting, hands-on, and the food was fantastic. Such a unique experience and one I would absolutely recommend!

• 5/5 from Monica Chapman, attended Jul 2026: My third time taking this class. Love how each one was so different depending on what was available at the the market. The class was fantastic! Jamie was great! Very knowledgeable and she made it so fun. Love the participation. Made me think differently when I go to the farmers market.
• 5/5 from Alicia Birkner, attended Jul 2026: Farm to table is my very favorite class. There is always something new to do with fruits and veggies we get at the market. I love how Jamie shows us exactly how they can be used for specific meals as well as tips and tricks for preparing and preserving them. Not to mention non traditional ways to use them. Who would have known that blackened tomatoes, garlic and honey simmered together would be so delicious on a crostini? Can't wait for the next class!
• 5/5 from Julie Lopez, attended Jul 2026: This was a collaborative very hands on class. It was perfect for date night. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Stacy Delcour, attended Jul 2026: SO fun!!! A great experience while also supporting local growers. Food was simple but delicious!!!
• 5/5 from Alex Avila, attended Jun 2026: Jamie and the amazing crew at The Kitchen Engine knocked it out of the park with this event! The walkthrough the market was insightful, and I learned a few new tricks on picking up fresh fruit and produce. I was deeply impressed to witness Jamie's imagination as she cultivated our menu, just based on what was available and how easily she pivoted when something was unexpectedly not at the market! Once we were in the kitchen, Jamie and the staff were terrific in helping/guiding us in prepping the meal and then eventually cooking and putting it all together. This was great experience and highly recommend to anyone who interested, regardless of skill or confidence in the kitchen!
• 5/5 from Jarred Cooke, attended Jun 2026: I learned a lot about how to use these early spring products from the market, and the meal was delicious!
• 5/5 from Monica Chapman, attended Jun 2026: What’s great class! Jaime is so knowledgeable and creative. The food was delicious! Learned new ways to prepare food from the market I never would have tried before. It was fun to cook with others in the class. A nice group of people. Also, the class was very well organized and Jamie kept things moving along. Impressive with so many different dishes we prepared. Will definitely take this class again!
• 5/5 from Leslie Bradshaw, attended Aug 2025: Amazing class! Fun format visiting the market—I loved that Jamie talked us through her process of shopping and selecting. The food prep portion was fun and casual. The meal was incredible, just amazing. I can’t wait to do it again next summer!
• 5/5 from Eric Rosentrater, attended Aug 2025: Jamie was phenomenal!! My wife and I, along with another couple, made it a date night adventure and it was so much fun! Our menu for the evening was an Italian Family Feast and all 11 dishes that were made were absolutely delicious. Jamie walks each group through their instructions with patience along with humor. We learned a lot, ate a lot, and had the best time! We will definitely be back!!
• 5/5 from Alyssa Drummond, attended Aug 2025: So much fun and very informative. Jamie was the best host! Definitely doing another class in the future with her.

• 5/5 from Jenny Hunt, attended Aug 2025: Fantastic class! Jamie was amazing—learned so much and had a great time! Loved the whole experience!
• 5/5 from Donna Seko, attended Aug 2025: Really enjoyed this experience, but I think it would have been better if the class size was limited to 10 people. Moving through the market would have been easier with a small group. But the market was awesome! Class was a lot of fun, but again, with a smaller group, students would be able to actually help and watch each dish being made so they would have a better idea of how to do it on their own. Jamie is GREAT and the staff was super attentive and friendly. Will definitely look into more classes at The Kitchen Engine. And the store is amazing! So much to look at!!
• 4/5 from Debra Paulson, attended Aug 2025: My Farm to Table experience was fun. I enjoyed learning and exploring new varieties of fruits and vegetables. The best part was hands on and being able to whip up the different elements of the meal. The staff were very friendly but the execution of remembering to bring everything out that we had created was forgotten. Also, any left overs of which there seemed to be plenty, are offered to the guests. This wasn't the case and only because I'd taken another class did I know to ask for a take home container.
• 5/5 from Julie Kaczmark, attended Jun 2025: I learned so much from this class! How to integrate farm fresh vegetables from the farmers market into a delicious and healthy meal! Jamie is a mastermind and gave so much helpful information. I will definitely be attending this class again! Thank you!

• 5/5 from Jeffrey L McMurtery, attended Jul 2024: This was our first cooking class. Jamie and the Kitchen Engine exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The visit to the Kendall Yards Night Market for fresh ingredients was fantastic. Jamie took the time to introduce us to various producers and gave some easy tips for selecting the best produce. The kitchen classroom was spectacular. When we arrived the staple ingredients for the evening's dishes were neatly placed in each cooking station and the store barista took drink orders for the whole class. We quickly got to work under Jamie's guidance. She gave clear instructions and had everyone working on different aspects of the meal, managing the whole kitchen like a pro with the help of her knowledgeable staff. Within short order, we had a multi-course meal fit for the royal family, made with fresh, local, in-season produce. The whole experience was fantastic!! We walked away with full bellies, new kitchen knowledge/skills, and delicious recipes to try for family and friends. We can't wait to sign up for our next class with Jamie and the Kitchen Engine!!

• 5/5 from Samantha Brown, attended Jul 2024: This was the most fun and creative cooking class I’ve ever participated in. All the food was amazing and it seemed like we got a ton of food for what we purchased at the farmers market. It was great to learn about the different vendors and some of the more unique produce options at the market, then so fun to divide and conquer on our meal as a class. I was also pleasantly surprised that we’ll receive recipes for the different dishes since the menu was impromptu. I can’t wait to make everything at home and will be repeating this specific class at least annually.
• 5/5 from Kristy Inui, attended Jul 2024: The Farm to Table class with Jamie Aquino was absolutely amazing! Jamie showed us how to pick fresh local ingredients from the farmers market where she engaged the vendors and had them give us info on their growing practices. Then heading back to the kitchen she created a fun engaging cooking environment where all participants engaged to create a phenomenal 5 course meal that we all enjoyed. My 14 year old son absolutely loved it too!

We both had so much fun and will be signing up for more classes in the near future.
