Very disappointed in the cooking classes at Applewood Longos…read more The instructor was very disorganized, one of the ovens was not working properly which delayed the cooking of the meal. There was not proper instruction on the prep of this dish. The registration was misleading. Our group thought each one of us would be making our own individual pan meal. Instead the class shared the prepared meal. Would not recommend this to any of my friends. I would recommend when offering these classes, instructors should have ALL ingredients, knives,cooking utensils ready for the students. There was time wasted on finding knives and hetting organized. Very disappointed.

My boyfriend and I went to a Hands-on: Dim Sum Delights with Chef Florence Kwok last night at the…read moreLoblaws on Lower Jarvis Street. The class was 2 hours long and there was 10 other people with us. We made Pot Stickers, BBQ Pork Puffs, Sweet & Sour Wontons and Baked Shrimp with Sriracha Aioli sauce Chef Florence showed us how to make the filling for each dish and we got to rotate around four stations to wrap the pot stickers ( made with pork filling), bbq pork puffs, and wontons (made with pork filling). We also got to coat the shrimp in panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and put them on skewers. I liked that Florence asked us to rotate through all the stations so we got to learn how to cook each dish. After we finished cooking, we got to eat our creations and was provided with a glass of wine with the meal. You won't get full on this and will most likely need to eat before or after the class, but I enjoyed it because we learned some neat things! We paid $45 each for this class and found it to be worth it. Chef Florence was strict, but also funny. She used a blend of English and Chinese techniques to make and cook the food. For those of you that are vegetarians or cannot eat pork - this is NOT the class for you as pork was used in 3 out of 4 dishes!

I had loads of fun learning and tasting the different flavours and of course tasting the results at the end. Do keep in mind their alcohol drinks are not included in the price, the price for a glass of wine was about $15. Would really recommend coming with a loved one or a friend! We signed up for Comfort Indian Food, we explored mostly the North Indian cuisine. The chef was very knowledgeable and friendly! We got to take some leftover samosas home and he also gave us the extra samosa dough so we can make it at home. Will definitely return for more cooking classes!

What a wonderful experience! This is the second cooking studio and class I've been to in Toronto,…read moreand it is my favourite. It's modern, extremely clean, organized, new equipment, beautiful floor to ceiling windows and bright lighting, and lots of space. Class was fantastic, with a professional chef instructing and assistants coming around to support with any skill level you are (and trust me I'm a true beginner). The owner's daughters were so kind, had good energy and walked around to continue to check in. The Irish instructor was fantastic, so knowledgable! Overall, such a lovely experience I can't wait to go back to more classes.

You get to keep all the food you make in the culinary arts classes so i usually attend classes on the weekend. The classes also double as my meal prep session for the upcoming work week. I suggest attending a sunday morning class (if possible) to all part time students because street parking is free on sunday mornings. The quality of the ingredients are superb. I remember learning how to fillet fish and the seafood came from Diana's seafood. The butter we used is from sterling creamery. The salmon we used to barbecue was sashimi grade so our instructor made us ceviche with the leftover salmon! You can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients that are provided in your classes. The instructors i've had are patient, laid back and funny. I think my three favorite elective courses would be BBQ, Indian cooking, and Thai cooking. The introduction to culinary arts course (compulsory course) gave me the confidence to attempt more difficult recipes and different types of cuisines at home. The course covers the fundamentals of cooking and is well worth the investment (even if you are not interested in the culinary program). I cannot wait till social distancing rules are lifted and GB offers culinary classes again. For now, i will read the course outlines and drool while deciding what to take next.

I received the Basic Knife skills class as a gift this past holiday season and booked the remaining classes in the 8 week program within minutes of getting home that evening. Anthony's vibrant and fun personality is infectious and his knowledge will exceed your expectations. These classes awoke a passion for the kitchen not only in myself but in many if not every other student in my group. I learned far more than I expected and the result has been life altering. I look forward to cooking every chance I get and make sure I practice as much as I can and most of all I truthfully miss the time at Culinaria every Monday night. One of the best parts of this program is learning how to shop and save as well as produce a truly 5 star restaurant style meal without the stress of breaking the bank or your patience. Oh and the Duck Fat. Man oh man the duck fat. Looking forward to new classes and curriculum and to getting back here as soon as possible.

The burger bun is generously buttered and toasted, so it was even better. The fries were a little bit overcooked, but if you like crispy fries than you'd like this. The gravy for the mushroom hash was tasty, but my husband and I expected rough chopped potatoes or something. The dish came as big chunks of roasted potatoes, and not a whole lot of mushrooms. The burger was definitely the winner today. We will definitely be back for the burger!

I had settled on the western egg omelet sandwich with fries; I absolutely loved it! I had asked for only ham in the sandwich therefore, everything tasted immaculate. And the price was wonderful, very reasonable for the amount that was given. The restaurant was also clean as well, with excellent customer service by the owner. We felt valued as customers, and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. This is truly a hidden gem; you will not be disappointed with the food, service or atmosphere. This is family dining done right!
