Ask a Question
Do I need any cooking experience to join a class?

No prior experience is required. Our classes are structured for home cooks at all levels, from beginners learning basic knife skills to those refining plating techniques. Instructors adjust guidance based on the group's comfort level.

What will I learn in a typical class?

Each session focuses on a specific theme, such as knife skills, sauce-making, or plating. You'll work through techniques step by step, then apply them to a full dish or menu by the end of the class.

How many people are in each class?

Classes are kept small, typically between 6 and 12 participants, so instructors can give individual attention and answer questions throughout the session.

Are ingredients and equipment provided?

Yes, all ingredients, tools, and cooking stations are provided and set up before you arrive. You don't need to bring anything except your appetite and an interest in learning.

Can I book a class for a group or special occasion?

Yes, we accommodate small group bookings for birthdays, team outings, and similar occasions. Contact us with your preferred dates and group size, and we'll help plan a class that fits.

Where in Ottawa are the classes held?

All classes take place at our teaching kitchen in Ottawa, Canada. Exact location details and parking information are shared once your booking is confirmed.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We do our best to accommodate common dietary preferences and restrictions. Please let us know when booking so instructors can plan ingredient substitutions ahead of the class.

How far in advance should I book a class?

We recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, as class sizes are limited. Popular sessions on knife skills and plating techniques tend to fill up faster.

What should I wear to a class?

Comfortable, closed-toe shoes and clothing you don't mind getting a little messy are recommended. Aprons are provided, but we suggest tying back long hair for safety near the stove and knives.
