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 Friday night cooking class celebrating the bold, comforting flavours of Italian-American cuisine. We’ll start with savoury stuffed mushrooms, then prepare Cioppino—a rich tomato-based seafood stew that originated in San Francisco in the late 1800s, created by Italian fishermen using the day’s catch. Served with garlic bread for soaking up every last drop, it’s a West Coast classic with Italian soul. Next, we’ll make Chicken Parmigiana, baked until golden and bubbling, and serve it with a fresh green salad. Then to finish, we’ll prepare a classic Tiramisu—a traditional Italian dessert that’s become a beloved staple across North America. Bring a date, a friend, your mom—or come solo and make new friends—as you join us for a relaxed and delicious evening of hands-on cooking and shared dining.
Join Owen Petersen, former head baker and owner of Prairie Mill Bread, for his popular Sourdough Basics class—the perfect starting point for your own sourdough journey. Owen will guide you through each step of the process, from feeding your starter to baking a beautiful loaf in a Dutch oven. You’ll mix and shape your own dough during class, with time between folds to learn and enjoy Kathryn’s sourdough panzanella and oven-roasted tomato soup. Owen will demonstrate baking with loaves he’s prepared in advance, served warm with freshly made herb butter and a comforting bowl of our homemade soup. You’ll also learn how to make sourdough crackers using starter discard, and head home with a jar of Owen’s starter and a shaped loaf ready to bake the next day. Please note: our tomato soup is made with chicken stock but can be adapted for vegetarians with advance notice.
