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.

Once restrictions were in place & it was evident that camps would not run. The owner has NOT provided a FULL refund. The initial contract stated FULL refund less $100. Suddenly it became full refund less $100 + hst. I indicated that this was not in the original contract. The FULL refund was never provided. Due to a service that was never rendered, dishonesty & lack of honouring the original contract. I would not recommend this business to anyone.

Being a busy mom of…read morethree young and picky children I wanted to learn how to cook meals that I could make in advance and that my kids would like. Shai spent our first few lessons covering all the basics, from knife skills to nutritional values of different foods. Over the course of our time together (about 15 lessons) I can honestly say that my confidence level in the kitchen has improve by a 10-fold. Not only are my kids happy about the yummy (and healthy!!) food I'm putting on the table now, but I had the BEST time hanging out with Shai. She is patient, encouraging, extremely skilled, and FUNNY!! I'd recommend her to anyone and I'm definitely going to be sending my kids to her cooking camps this summer. Thanks Shai!!!

When I called to inquire about the one class, I was told that wasn't an option. My daughter was sick for the 3rd session. I sent an email the night before she was going to miss the session. I heard no response, and when I called to inquire about a make up session, I was told "kids miss things when they are sick". I was also not offered any kind of reimbursement. I was given no options, and I'm now out $100. Pertaining to the actual classes, there is a lot of standing around for the kids. For the cost of the classes, the group should be smaller, or have more staff present. Avoid this place at all costs.

It was incredibly hands-on, fun, informative and delicious! We worked in pairs, creating several recipes - step by step, with his help. We would highly recommend him for any in-home cooking class, or just having him come and in and cook for you! He was patient, funny and very knowledgeable, but the most important thing was his recipes, they were delicious. We all said there are several we will make at home. Thanks Chef Gabe, you created a memorable experience for all of us.
