He taught us all about the best quality of sushi rice and precise knife skills for properly preparing our ingredients for sushi rolls. As well as lots of chef tips for how to create neater rolls and of course the amazing chefs blow torch which was so much fun to use and made the sushi taste even better! This was a Christmas gift for my husband and it was truly a relaxing evening and an opportunity to enjoy learning and making the food in great company with such a patient and knowledgeable chef. We really enjoyed ourselves and each dish was delectible and more than we could finish so we ended up with a full fancy roll to take home plus one extra dessert. I don't think you could get learn this much and focus so well in a larger class. I highly recommend the experience and you will leave with better sushi making skills plus recipes! Amazing for a date night and I'm sure the in house lesson for 5 + would also be a blast!

If you have the chance to go to the Culinary Campus event during Big Taste, it is truly worth it…read more At $85/ticket, that put my expectations fairly high and I was not disappointed. Doors open at 7pm, and when you enter you are given wine glass. There are stations throughout the entire kitchen, and the chefs & culinary students are preparing each dish right in front of you. You're welcome to ask any questions about how the food is prepared. The dishes for the 2016 Big Taste event included rack of lamb, sushi, flatbread, shrimp & grits, wings & fried vegetables, lobster bisque, crab cakes, rabbit, duck confit pirogies, and ginger beef. Every singly one of these dishes was amazing. For dessert, there was a selection of chocolate mousse, creme brûlée, panna cotta, tiramisu, and banana bread pudding. I tried it all, and the dessert was a surprising let-down. The dark-chocolate mousse was hard, the panna cotta was soupy and under cooked, and the banana bread pudding was much more mushy than any bread pudding I've had. The milk chocolate mousse and creme brûlée were enjoyable. I hope the desserts are improved for next year. There were wine stations throughout the kitchen as well, with wine from several BC wineries. I think there were 6 stations, and each had a white and a red wine, and you could drink as much as your heart contents. Overall, this is a fantastic event, with amazing food. $85 is pricey, however it's such a unique experience, and you can eat & drink all you want. Definitely worth it!

Started this post back in December and just completing it now…read more.. Went here for a work/staff Xmas party and the experience was mixed. Our group came in to the commercial kitchen in the culinary campus, and the activity was to make our own dinner together. We chose a Japanese style. I have to say, it was really fun and a great variation to the typical staff Xmas party, great way to get to know your coworkers better. If it weren't for this, I'd probably give a 1 star. The bad part was the instructor. While he seemed to have decent culinary knowledge, he was quite overbearing, almost acting like he was the head chef of a large restaurant and at times spoke to us the way he might to a line cook on a busy night. I do not believe that was part of the intended experience as it was odd and unwelcome. Some of the food was fine, but the proteins, particularly the flank steak (done basically tataki style) was waaaay too salty (the instructor dressed it) and also far too many birds eye chilies making it almost inedible. Overall, the food was not great, and I don't think it was because of our staff putting it together.

So I did the Tom Yum Soup. Instructions were laid out in front of us. We had ingredients already or almost ready for us to start cooking. All we need to do is just to chop up the ingredients. We also had a theme. So we had the Vietnam dishes. I was in charge of making the Tom Yum Soup. It came out delicious. I really liked it. The other dishes were delicious too. Our instructor was Ching and she guided us in every step. Constantly watching how we cook. We had a great time. Everything went well. I also found out that every Friday they have couple's night cooking and Saturday they have classes for kids. At the end, I have to say it was fun. If you bring your own wine its cheaper but they have to pour the alcohol for you. Great team building event.

Got more than I was originally going for because they had other spices I had been looking for at their location. The store has a great collection of cookbooks, spices, kitchen equipment, specialty foods and equipment and lots to choose from from various nationalities. It is sometimes busy in there but line ups are generally not long. I inquired about French cooking classes and online ordering. They were kind enough to direct me to another spice supplier for items they did not carry which I appreciated very much. Definitely will be doing a lot more business with them,

This just doesn't make me want to go back and support this type of conduct. Maybe they just think this is normal which is even more ridiculous . Rip off people as much as you can, hopefully they wont notice? Sadly will not go back.
