Unfortunately the "cooking classes" are not worth the money. They are run more like an underfunded home ec class than an $80 cooking class. I signed up for a macaroon class expecting to get a lot of hands-on cooking/baking opportunities. Instead, I had to share materials and ingredients with two strangers and the instructor did most of the cooking. She did all the work involving the stand mixer and burner. Ultimately, all I got to do was pass the mixing bowl around my table to stir things a few times, pipe the batter (to make only 4 macaroons myself), and add the frosting and ganache. Additionally, the macaroons I took home were not really made by me. After each group's batch came out of the oven, the macaroons were all divided up between the 14 of us. So I was working with the food that others had started.In the end, it was $80 for 8 macaroons and watching someone else cook, which I can do on YouTube for free. I will be looking for other places in Madison where I can actually get some hands-on practice to prepare and eat my own food.

A tipping point for the Madison restaurant scene. Last night I went to DelecTable with a group of 10 women and had one of the most memorable meals in my 2 decades living in town. Clear your evening and tuck in for this generous foodie experience. Their Michelin-trained chef offered one surprise after another over about 10 courses. The play of color, texture, flavor along with the wine pairings were exceptional. The thought that goes into every single course was evident. Justin Gibson, the creator behind DelecTable, offers something totally new to the community and I can't wait to go back and see how these next few years evolve.

Valentines day plans had fallen through and we weren't sure how to salvage the situation, but luck was with us this year as we managed to get through the wait-list and into this restaurant experience at the last second. Let me tell you, this was one of the singular best experiences I have had in my life.
You walk in and you're greeted by an odd looking shop with a gracious host. You get taken back into a proper restaurant and realize that you're about to get a very intimate dining experience. You order a cocktail and realize the night is already off to an excellent start as you take your extra time to peruse the odd looking shop and realize they have everything in all the flavors you love. After the first course is over you realize that you really should have joined the loyalty club in the way in and you're probably going to spend some money in the front shop too. The courses surprise and delight you. You make some compliments you can't take back, nor do you want to. There's a surprise. Then you leave and wonder what special occasion you'll use as an excuse to come back.
Thanks delectable for an amazing evening and an amazing valentines day celebration!
Vegetarian options: I'm not sure what the options are but I definitely saw one dietary restriction patron and they seemed to be having a wonderful time.

We had zero expectations and have lived in some areas with incredible food scenes. We absolutely adored our dinner experience Friday night. Not only was it delicious AND delectable, but incredibly fun. The team truly wants you to have a great time....and we did. Favorite course....foie vs pork belly and anything with sunchokes, and the cheeses. Wow!
