Limited to 10 participants, the French Immersion Holiday Boot Camp with Cordon Bleu-trained Chef Owner Kathryn Joel is a festive two-day dive into classic French cooking for home cooks who want to master traditional techniques. Over the weekend, you’ll make chicken and veal stocks and a classic demi-glace, then prepare a Potage Parmentier (leek and potato soup) and Duck à l’Orange with a Parsnip Purée, while also starting slow-cooked preparations for a Terrine Grand-Mère, a French country-style pâté of spiced pork with a center of seared pork tenderloin, and Beef Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine. Finish Day One with a classic Crème Brûlée. On Day Two, enjoy the Terrine as a starter for lunch, then spend the afternoon finishing the day’s supper, starting with a Salmon Tartare appetizer, followed by the slow-cooked Beef Short Ribs with Gratin Dauphinois, and finishing with a light and airy Orange Soufflé with Crème Anglaise. We’ll finish with homemade chocolate truffles as petit fours. Throughout the weekend, you’ll taste as you cook and finish each day with a shared meal, all in an intimate setting that gives you personal guidance and a truly immersive experience.

Join Mai Nguyen and learn to make Beef Pho, exploring the art of Vietnamese cooking as you create a fragrant and aromatic broth using two approaches: the traditional slow-cooking method in a stock pot or the quicker Instant Pot pressure cooker technique. While the broth develops its rich, layered flavour, you’ll also prepare Vietnamese-style Pork Spring Rolls served with a Nuoc Cham dipping sauce. The class concludes with assembling a complete pho noodle bowl, balancing herbs, noodles, and proteins to create an authentic, deeply satisfying dish. This is a unique opportunity to discover Vietnam’s iconic noodle bowl under the expert guidance of Mai Nguyen, a seasoned MasterChef Canada alum. Note: if you would like to take your portion of pho home, please bring a suitable container.
Spend an evening with MasterChef Canada alum Mai Nguyen exploring the art of Chinese dumplings. Start with pork and shrimp potstickers, learning to fill, fold, and pan-fry them to golden perfection using both homemade and store-bought wrappers. Then make Sheng Jian Bao, Shanghai’s famous pan-fried soup buns with crisp bottoms and juicy centres. Along the way, you’ll learn essential techniques for shaping and cooking dumplings that you can easily recreate at home. Enjoy the dumplings you make in class, with plenty to take away — please bring a container for leftovers.
