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. WE USE BEEF STOCK IN THE ONION SOUP BUT IT CAN BE ADAPTED FOR VEGETARIANS WITH ADVANCE NOTICE.

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 Chef Jose will teach you how to make a Chilean Fish Sandwich — a northern coastal classic originally made by fishermen and their families from their fresh catch — combining deep-fried rockfish fillets, a fresh Chilean salad, and homemade milk mayonnaise.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.
