Join Kathryn Joel as we work with paring knives and chefs’ 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.

Join Chef Owner Kathryn Joel for a night of Indian-inspired cooking, featuring everyone’s favourite Butter Chicken, served with saffron rice and Aloo Gobi. Begin with Pakoras and learn the techniques for creating a light, crisp chickpea flour batter and frying vegetables to golden perfection, served with a fresh and spicy green chutney. Then prepare the main course of Butter Chicken, saffron rice, and Aloo Gobi, exploring the methods for building rich, balanced flavours and mastering classic Indian spice combinations.

Chef Jose Montan brings the depth and diversity of Mexican cooking to the Get Cooking studio, moving from street food to the slow-cooked traditions of the Yucatan. You'll make Volcanes — crispy corn tortillas topped with homemade chorizo, potato, and melted cheese, finished with a bright tomatillo sauce — alongside a kale salad with roasted poblanos, charred cherry tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and a lime agave dressing. The centrepiece is Cochinita Pibil: pork marinated in lime, naranja agria, and achiote paste, cooked low and slow in banana leaves until deeply fragrant and tender, served with avocado and pickled red onions. Jose's cooking is rooted in technique and regional tradition, and this is a menu that delivers on both.
