Dish Cooking Studio is a long-standing cooking school in Toronto that offers various themed cooking…read moreclasses year-round. We made a reservation online for one of the themed nights, and the experience was 10/10 right from the beginning. While waiting to enter the 'cooking school' kitchen, we were served drinks (including choice of wine) and we could browse the 'lobby' area where they had ready-made frozen meals, ingredients, and pre-made soup mixes to go. After an introduction by the chef instructor, our class was divided into groups. Each group was responsible for creating 1 dish from the menu that night, which included appetizer, main, and dessert. We were able to learn various practical cooking techniques and skills throughout the night by rotating through the different stations - such as oyster shucking, pasta making (from scratch), how to create the different sauces, etc. Very useful info and hands-on experience. They had a pasta-making machine on site, and it was fun to shape the pasta doughs into different custom shapes using the moulds. We used all natural ingredients for colouring, such as beets to make the pasta pink / purple. What stuck with me the most was learning how to shuck open raw oysters properly. We also made 3 different sauces to go with the raw oysters, including the classic mignonette (consisting of red wine vinegar and eschalots). The main dish of that night was lamb rack, but because I don't eat meat, the chef personally cooked a grilled salmon & vegetables dish for me (that he whipped up quickly in the back kitchen) - it was nice that they were accommodating like that. Dessert was a sorbet with fresh fruits (sliced strawberries). The whole cooking experience took a few hours, so by the time everything was ready, we were all starving. Food somehow tastes better when you know it was the labour of your own work!

This review is for Chef Jeffrey's French Cooking Traditions private class at our home…read more Chef Jeff was wonderful! He guided us through a delicious French meal. He accommodated our preferences in advance and taught us how to make the perfect steak. We also loved learning ratatouille, pommes aligot, and chocolate mousse. Jeff is kind, fun, professional, and laid back - and made the experience joyful and comfortable. We particularly appreciated that he would clean up for us between courses while we got to savor the food. Highly recommend! Kudos to Cozymeal for making the whole process of finding a class, communicating with our chef, etc. seamless.

The Edible Story is a unique place that brings together the catering, cooking classes, private dinners and corporate events. We came here for a Holiday team get together. I suggested this places because I knew it would be a fun experience working together but also working as a team to make. Wonderful yummy meal that we got to enjoy afterwards. It was such a fun and engaging experience. Everyone was welcoming and made our event so amazing. The chefs were friendly, knowledgeable and really walked us through the process. It was amazing to experience cooking together with my coworkers but also to break bread with them afterwards. We All broke into groups and tackled the menu which consisted of salad to start with a lemony dressing. Followed by the wild mushroom gnocchi with a gremolata, and watercress and Parmesan. The main was steak with cipollini onions in a wine reduction and crispy potatoes with lemon ricotta. To finish we had a flourless chocolate cake with miso included caramel. Everything was easy to make, uncomplicated flavours and just so damn delicious! I'm so happy I got to experience this wonderful place for a second time with an amazing team! Thank you for the experience and an afternoon well spent with my coworkers!

Quite a lot of parking around the vicinity of the area, however, you might have a tough time finding the spot as the location of the place is similar as it is considered the same plaza within a condo unit that is also down there, so ensure that you walk and tour around before heading in and mistaking it for another place haha. Nice venue overall and not much to complain about as the location was great and had a good time.

This place is great!…read more They offer themed cooking classes for couples or singles. Each class has set menu of a specific type of food: Italian, French, Chinese, Indian, Moroccan, Mexican, etc. The concept is basically to cook the meal as a group, and later enjoy the creations as a group. There are 2 qualified chefs to guide and assist and a server to run the bar (wine included). You meet some great people and learn some useful cooking techniques. The class is a tad on the pricey side at $100/person, but makes a great gift and is a lot of fun!

If you want to take your foodie experience to the next level with a friend, partner, parent etc. Give Vanessa a chance. I will most definitely be returning with my partner in the fall for couples cooking.

Then we got to practice making the different types of sushi, including temaki (hand rolls), maki (seaweed on the outside), and uramaki (seaweed in the inside).

He came to my parents house and we had the most phenomenal time! Sang is knowledgeable and friendly. He exceeded our expectations and then some. It took about 45 minutes to set up and came extremely prepared with all the items he needed. Then another half hour (maybe a bit more because of all our questions) and then an hour and a bit teaching us how to roll. Overall, this was a fantastic idea and a great Saturday night. Sang accommodated all of our nutritional needs for the pickier of the bunch. I can't speak higher of the experience we had.

I'd gone to a Chef Upstairs event a few years ago, and always kept them in mind as it was a great…read moreexperience. They offer various services and events, and I recalled as well that they also do kids camps. Over the past couple years, my daughter has taken a big interest in cooking. And not just a fleeting interest, but consistently enjoys watching cooking shows and wanting to participate in cooking at home. As we were planning summer camps this year, I thought we should try to finally give her a chance to live her dream a bit and attend a week here. She's gone to a city-run one before. Though she quite enjoyed it, it was fairly simple. At The Chef Upstairs, they are in a full commercial kitchen with gas stoves, deep fryers and a whole bunch of other things you'd expect from a real kitchen. They have a firm belief that kids can learn safely - in fact, the safest thing is to expose them and provide proper technique. And they're not just making things like a deli meat roll up wrap, but full-on multi-course meals (they make breakfast and lunch) and from recipes from all around the world. You should look at the menus they post on their site for the kids camps. It was a bit of a sacrifice for us as we do not live nearby. That said, they have two locations, so a number of people are well-situated if near Vaughan and midtown Toronto. It's also a bit more money than many other kids camps - though its apparent with the food costs and the high staffing ratio that it's still good value. Ultimately, it was well worth it. My daughter loved it and truly lived out a dream and learned a lot. The highlight for her was the week long prep leading up to the Iron Chef-esque competition where they planned their own full menu. I'm thrilled that The Chef Upstairs lived up and even exceeded our already high expectations and truly made a lifetime memory for our daughter.

I went for the Jellycat Cake Decorating class, and it was super fun! They pre-baked the cake and pre-made the vanilla buttercream and fondants, so we got to dive right into the fun parts (cake cutting and stacking, filling, and decorating). The location had 2 floors which they used for both classes and events (e.g. birthday parties). The kitchen space, which was our culinary classroom, was very clean. Our instructor was great in doing the demonstration and coming around to help those who needed assistance. In the end, they provided boxes to put our cakes in to take home.
