Cookology Arrives In Dulles

A new cooking school has opened in the Dulles Town Center. Cookology, a recreational cooking school, offers interactive classes for just about anyone who loves food — from kids' birthday parties to cooking fundamentals for teens and couples cooking classes.

Founder and owner Maria Kopsidas, whose passion for food was fueled by her Mediterranean family, plans to regularly bring in guest chefs from the DC area for classes. The focal point of the school is a work space for 16 people, making for fairly intimate classes.

For the list of cooking classes, visit cookologyonline.com or call 703.433.1909.

My wife and I signed up for a "date night" cooking class and had a terrible experience. When we got there, by the owner's admission, they were planning to film the course for a promotional video to attract investors. They gave us no advance notice, there was no waiver, and they refused to acknowledge that we had a reason for concern. My wife and I , along with another couple, expressed our concerns.

The owner was argumentative, rude, and clearly wasn't prepared for the questions that were asked of her. She gave us a refund, but she lost 4 out probably 20 customers that night. Not so good for what's supposed to be a promotional video.

The lack of customer service here is appalling. Spending money here, in my opinion, is an enormous waste.

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

Hello Cupcake Opens

Image
Cupcakes await the first customers at Hello Cupcake For a sweet spot in this final week of August, head to Hello Cupcake , which opens at 10 a.m. today at 1351 Connecticut Ave. NW. I had the chance to sample a few flavors with owner Penny Karas. The fluffy icing on the peanut butter blossom (above) is seriously addictive, and the seasonal root beer flavor is a delightful surprise with spicy root beer cake topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting. I'm going for a Velvet Elvis, banana cake with peanut butter frosting, next. There are gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, as well. Check out all the flavors here . Metrocurean photo
