Join Kathryn Joel as we work with chefs’ knives 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 vegetables; and segmenting citrus fruits. Plus we'll throw in some seasonal ingredients, and while you’re busy chopping and slicing, we’ll also be whipping up a delicious meal incorporating the ingredients that we've prepped 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 our special guest presenter Theo Ambie-Barango, cooking alongside Chef Owner Kathryn Joel, as he shares the flavours and traditions he grew up with in Nigeria. A home cook with a deep love for the food of his homeland, Theo brings a lifetime of Nigerian cooking to the kitchen. Begin with Nigerian egg stew, a dish enjoyed as readily at supper as at breakfast, made with tomatoes, sweet onions and bell peppers seasoned with ground crayfish and served on soft, slightly sweet Agege bread. Next, pair roasted plantain with a fish stew of whiting simmered in palm oil with bell peppers and habanero. The class finishes with Jollof rice, Nigeria's beloved one-pot dish: you'll learn to make the rich base of roma tomatoes, bell peppers and habanero that gives basmati rice its signature colour and depth of flavour, served with oven-roasted turkey and a crisp coleslaw.

Join Chef Owner Kathryn Joel for four courses of seafood skills, from a salmon tartare with cucumber salad to pan-seared scallops with cauliflower purée and Brussels sprouts, pan-seared Arctic char with fingerling potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and basil, and cod loins en papillote with a seasonal side. These are dishes that work as well for a weeknight dinner as they do for guests. This class is a great fit for pescatarians or anyone looking to hone their seafood skills.
