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 Chilean-born Chef Jose Montan, Chef de Partie at Edmonton's acclaimed Olia Ristorante, for an evening exploring the iconic street food sandwiches of Chile and Argentina. Chef Jose will teach you how to make a Chilean Fish Sandwich — a northern coastal classic originally made by fishermen and their families from their fresh catch — combining deep-fried rockfish fillets, a fresh Chilean salad, and homemade milk mayonnaise. Next up is a classic Argentinian Milanesa. Originating in Tucumán, the Milanesa was inspired by the cotoletta alla milanese brought over by Italian immigrants, featuring herb-crusted, tenderised beef that's double-breaded and fried, then layered with black forest ham, havarti, and sunny-side-up eggs. Provenzal potatoes round out the meal, with techniques covered including breading and deep-frying, knife work, beef tenderising, and emulsified sauces.

Explore a world of brunch dishes with Chef Owner Kathryn Joel. We’ll begin in Spain with Pisto Manchego, a vibrant vegetable ragout served with perfectly poached eggs and finished with Manchego cheese, then head to North Africa for Shakshuka, eggs braised in a spiced tomato sauce. From Turkey, you’ll make Çılbır, delicate poached eggs served over garlicky yoghurt with a chilli butter, and we’ll make our own warm pita bread for dipping and sharing too. Throughout the class, you’ll learn essential techniques — from poaching eggs and balancing spice to building flavourful sauces — and gain the confidence to recreate these global brunch favourites at home.
