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.

More affordable than the other marcaron making classes that I've seen at other places. The instructor was very informative and the class was taught well. There was also handouts with the recipe and notes. The instructor was very friendly and chatted with us as well. He shared a lot of tips and tricks! The class was quite long and we made 2 flavours. Each step was guided and completely hands on. The kitchen was professional and very clean, each person was set up with everything we needed and there was no clean up for us at all, they took care of everything! The macarons we made turned out successful! And between 4 people we had about 60 macarons to take home. They also provided boxes for us. I would love to take another class here and can't recommend it enough!

My boyfriend and I signed up for the sakura roll cake class, which to be honest is I don't think is a beginner class. The techniques I felt were pretty advanced and my goodness, folding is not as easy as it looks. However! Our instructor Baron was so helpful, patient, informative and would teach us little tricks/tips/hacks to make the baking process more successful. This cooking studio is a hidden gem. The classroom environment was small, intimate, friendly and really totally worth the cost.(the roll cake course was $99) They provide you all the tools, and you get a box to take home your whole roll cake. Mine surprisingly did not look like a pile of disaster thanks to clear instructions and some help. And even better? My cake tasted legit. When I mean legit, it was almost like bakery quality. I mean they really set you up for success which is good, but you a learn a lot too! Now I have a whole roll cake to eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I need to eat and appreciate my masterpiece. I highly recommend checking out their website, they have so many diverse courses to take. They have pastries, cakes, cooking and even a pho class! Located in Markham, it's a trek, but totally worth a fun date or even to go with a friend or two. Honestly, I had the best time and you get a wonderful learning experience. I think I might take a stab at the cooking classes next time!

I came across a promotion for Longo's cooking classes and decided to give this a try. You can book the classes through the Longo's app, and they regularly have sales like $10 off per person or BOGO 50% off. The classes are sorted by age groups (kids, teens, parents and child, or adults) and offered as an interactive class (hands on cooking) vs. Demonstration (watching and taking notes). You will be very well fed during these classes so remember come hungry!

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!

It features a wide selection of jewellery from local designers and a lot of different artwork. I love the Marilyn Monroe paintings that are by the front door, the navy blue and earth-toned floral pillows, and the photographs of Parisian scenes on wood. They also have a few different pieces of clothing and dresses, and a few items for kids.Most of the tables have the designers' business cards available, and most are willing to do custom work if you're inspired. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area or are looking to buy a creative gift. Also, since it's December, if you're going to a christmas party and want some festive earrings, they have a few different pairs of dangly earrings with christmas trees, silver bells and red and green balls. They also have some nice host gifts, like candles, candle holders, ornaments, and decorative kitchen items.

There is even a cute selection of clothes from local designers. Parking is relatively easy in front of the store. Definitely drop in to check out the stuff!
