Join Kathryn Joel as we work with chefs’ knives and and paring knives during this Introductory Knife Skills class. If you choose to use our knives you’ll be using 8-inch Henckel chefs’ knives, but we invite you to bring your own knives along if you’d prefer. During your class, we’ll be focusing on the following basic skills: slicing and chopping onions and shallots; puréeing garlic; tomato concassé; chiffonade of leafy herbs; how to dice, slice and julienne vegetables; peeling round fruits; and segmenting citrus fruits. And as if all of that is not enough, while you’re busy chopping and slicing, we’ll also be whipping up a hearty slice of Bruschetta, a Chopped Middle Eastern Salad and a satifsfying bowl of French Onion Soup to enjoy before we send you home, armed with the knowledge and skills required to wield your knives with greater confidence and finesse on your own. NOTE: ATTENDANCE IS LIMITED TO JUST 8 PARTICIPANTS FOR THIS 100% HANDSON CLASS. THIS CLASS CAN BE ADAPTED FOR VEGETARIANS WITH ADVANCE NOTICE.

Pho-licious! Beef Pho
Pho-licious! Beef Pho

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.

Chinese Dumplings: Potstickers & Sheng Jian Bao
Chinese Dumplings: Potstickers & Sheng Jian Bao

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.
