September 20, 2021 Vergie Nakamoto

Although much of Jacksonville is urban, this sprawling northeastern Florida city also has nature and wildlife preserves, historic residential neighborhoods and lots of golf courses. Attractions in Jax, as the locals call it, range from art, science and history museums to a brewery tour, from the Jacksonville Landing entertainment complex, along the St. John's River, to Bronson Motor Speedway. The city's beaches offer soft sand and warm water perfect for swimming, surfing and kayaking.

I have been watching the Jax Cooking Studio site for a while, waiting. My husband and I only have a day off together every other weekend, and we are on night shift. To say it’s sometimes difficult for us to find things to attend together, is an understatement. I finally saw a class that not only fit our schedules, but it was also something that we were both really excited to make! I signed us up and then the hard part-waiting for the day to come! The website is really user friendly and it was a breeze to purchase our tickets for the Family Night, homemade pasta class! When our day came we drove over to the location and walked on in! We were greeted by one of the Chefs right away and she showed us where our cooking station was. The inside is a beautifully designed set up. There are cooking stations lining the outer walls that have all the equipment you need, with hand washing stations in between them. Then in the center of the room are the dining tables that have place settings ready for you to eat the food that you create. In the back of the room is the Chef station, and it is set up just like the ones you work in as a student, but set up so that you can watch also on three tv’s in the front of the room-pretty clever! We got some aprons and we were all ready to go! The owner even came over and chatted some with us, which I thought was a nice touch. Pretty soon the class was starting, and we were introduced to all the Chefs and staff and told a little about what to expect. I really really wish I had written down the names of everyone, they were all so amazing and kind and helpful! A million thanks to the whole staff. Pretty soon we were sent to our stations and everything was set up for us to make some homemade pasta dough, bolognese sauce, ricotta filling (all put together into a lasagna) a ceasar salad and tiramisu that we did with a little help from some premade items! I have long wanted to try this, but was a little intimidated before. The instructions and demonstration took all the anxiety away and we were able to just enjoy the experience together. I do possess a bit of cooking knowledge and skills, however there is nothing I can think of now more exciting than making pasta from scratch. We were given ample time to make sure all the tasks got done, but we were still not rushed in any way. The class was two and a half hours and I thought it flowed at a really perfect pace. The staff members circulate during the time you are creating your masterpieces, giving positive feedback and answering questions or just chatting with everyone. It really is an awesome laid back atmosphere for learning. After all the cooking and laughing, we sat down to eat our little labors of love. We started with the salad while our lasagna finished in the oven and then rested a bit. Then the moment of truth..how had we really done? It turned out so so so so good y’all!! Followed by the tiramisu that was creamy chocolatey and delicious! All our left overs were packed up for us and we were sent away with smiles on our faces. We are still talking about the fun time that we had, and the amazing food we made. Stephen and I like to try new things and decided when we got married just a handful of months ago; that we would always have adventures with each other, no matter what it was. This is just our first of many cooking classes together for sure. Thank you Jax Cooking Studio!
