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!

Florence had a warm and funny demeanour and I found her class UTTERLY entertaining. She taught me a few things as well. I really enjoyed this class and the food was outstanding too. Highly recommend this experience.

They have a variety of food and they post their weekly menu on instagram (@georgebrowncafe). I got their daily special which was around $12 and it was a delicious porchetta roast with a refreshing summer salad! All their containers and utensils are compostable and there are lysol wipes on all the tables. Bathrooms are conveniently nearby in the building as well

I figured i should dedicate my 100th review to something i really really like. I attend George…read moreBrown's culinary arts program (for fun) and all of the classes i have taken here are fantastic. 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.

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.

Amazing staff worked so hard to keep so many kids content. My daughter came home with delicious…read moretreats from the cooking camp, full and happy plus the recipes so we can bake together again. Great value for the money

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.

Attended the gummy and pop tart making class on a Saturday evening and LOVED IT! You can tell that…read moreJosh and Vanessa and the chef (sorry forgot his name!) Are all super passionate about what they do and are very experienced. They are down to earth and funny people. They were super welcoming and created a super friendly and casual environment for everyone. There were a few couples that attended, one came with his mum celebrating a birthday, another came with a friend, one person came alone all ages ranging from young to older adult. The class was well organized and I was engaged throughout the class. Dont worry if you suck at cooking, they are attentive and walk you through every step. They also teach the types of cannabis, recipes, the science and math behind the cooking - these people know what they're doing and I learned so much! We got to take home 6 pop tarts each and a 50+ of gummy bears to last me some time. The poptart was so good, like a butter cookie pop tart reheated it in the oven a week later and was still delicious. So even if you don't plan on cooking more, you get to take home a bunch of delicious cannabis goodies which is well worth it! Would definitely go back and I highly recommend!

Awesome class! Josh, Vanessa and Don make you home. The class was packed with information and…read moremostly the science behind it. Josh explained how to break down exactly how much THC is in your treat Vanessa is awesome, anything you need to know about any recipes she is there to help and will explain to you exactly what to do. Vanessa will give you her phone number so you can call her if your stuck in the middle of making your infused goodies. You make two types of treats and you get to take them home. How awesome is that all for $125! This includes the class with all instruments and the treats and best of all you don't need to take any notes at all, Vanessa will send you all notes, calculations and recipes. Go with your spouse, partner or with friends, either way its so much fun and so cool! I had a blast. I tell all my friends about Cannabis Cooking Company! Go and enjoy Mary.

Despite it's name Knox College is not regarded as one of the 7 UofT colleges, but it is the home…read morefor Christian ministry studies and theology studies and is a residence for students mainly studying that line of work although I have known a couple of students over the years to call Knox their home. To my knowledge, the rooms there are pretty typical of most single residence dorms but I've not heard any big negatives about it. While I have absolutely zero experience with them as an educational institution, what my review will be based on is their library (Caven Library) and the building in general. In my mind, University College, Hart House and Knox are the 3 most beautiful buildings on campus. And the numerous times I've seen Knox being transformed in to a movie set is a testimony to this (biggest movie set here as of 2011 is The Incredible Hulk). And due to it being a "Christian" place it is not a heavily trafficked building as students are probably intimidated by it's religious aura.They have one of the most beautiful spots in the entire campus in it's green and somewhat gothicy quad that so many students are unaware of. The library is also one of the prettiest and naturally quiet libraries around on campus. High ceilings and large windows makes you feel like you're studying in a church (well it might have been one back in the day) and the fact that most spots are individual tables with privacy screens is probably the main reason behind the natural unimposed silence you can enjoy here while studying. The last time I was there, power outlets were hard to come by, but that could have changed since UofT libraries have been undergoing renovations as of late. If you are sick and tired of studying at Robarts or Gerstein, Knox is a great alternative, if you are not in the mood to really check it out, use it as a scenic short cut to get between St George Street and King's College Circle.
