It's much bigger than it looks from the outside. The classroom/kitchen area was well laid-out, and each area could probably accommodate around 24 attendees at a time. We had a 2 hour class, and the first hour was dedicated to learning understanding what was being made, learning techniques, and a live demonstration on how to make it. The last hour was reserved for attendees to prepare their dishes and eat it. The instructor and helpers were all very friendly. I found some of the pre-made ingredients not optimal - the rice seemed overcooked and a bit mushy, and questioned the use sweet potato for the maki rolls, and use of okonomiyaki to drizzle on sushi. But some ingredients were perfectly good - specifically the fish. This meal included a plum wine/sake cocktail. Overall, I quite enjoyed the class. The 2 hours goes by really quick, but it was informative and fun. At $89, it was very affordable. I'd definitely consider taking another class.

I hosted our leadership team's very first offsite in Vancouver and I was on the hunt for an evening…read moreteam-building activity for our group of 13 that felt inclusive, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone. After a lot of research, The Dirty Apron stood out as the clear winner. I reached out nearly two months in advance only to find they were fully booked on our one available evening. I moved on and kept searching, but about a week later they contacted me to say they had a cancellation. I jumped on it immediately! From start to finish, the process was seamless. They offered a very wide variety of menu options, which made it easy to find choices that accommodated several dietary restrictions and varying preferences across our group. Communication was straightforward and stress-free. Day of, the location was easy to find and they were completely set up and ready when I arrived a few minutes early. The onsite team, Monica, our servers, and our chef were all outstanding. The structure of the experience was perfect for a team event: the chef would teach us one course, we'd break out to make it together, then sit down and eat what we'd just prepared before heading back to learn the next one. The pacing was spot-on. Our chef was engaging, educational, and fun without being over the top. Throughout the evening and through the next day, my entire team raved about the food quality, the hands-on instruction, and the overall atmosphere. After dessert, none of us wanted to leave, even after four full hours together. For a leadership team that had never done an offsite before, this was the ideal bonding experience. Highly, highly recommend The Dirty Apron for corporate team events. We got lucky with that cancellation, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip to Vancouver!

We did the Thai class and made shrimp spring rolls, beef satay skewers, and green curry chicken. It was so much fun and it tasted amazing. Our instructor Raf would demonstrate the prep and then the cooking of the dish while we watched him cook and gave tips and teach things like proper cutting technique, to heating the oil correctly and when to add to maximize things like flavour and not to overcook things. Once he finished it was our turn to prepare and cook the dish (while being supervised and given tips and guidance while we cooked)and then when we finished we went and sat in the dining room and got to taste our creation. Each course we did one at a time then ate it and then proceeded to the next course. If you want to learn cooking techniques and some pointers from a real pro and have some fun I highly recommend this. Great for couples, parent& child, friends or on your own to have some fun and prepare a really delicious meal. Class size was 20 people.

True Nosh is a health conscious, gluten-free food store. They've been around in food markets for 6,…read more7 years. This store was opened early this year. They hosted a series of Yelp Elite Event right before Mid-Autumn Festival. Renée, the owner, is a very friendly nutritionist. She educated us the stories/history of mooncake and taught us how to make healthy and tasty snowy mooncake. We learnt very useful techniques. All the ingredients are plant based. We used glutenous flour, oil, and coconut milk, etc. for the skin. The colouring on the skin were from natural ingredients such as tumeric, matcha and purple yam. Various contents were red bean, lotus seed, and purple yam, etc. This pleasant experience brought me four yummy mooncakes to take home. Best result to taste is to refrigerate them for at least 2 hours or overnight. The store has a wide variety of vegan, gluten-free, and low sugar option ingredients. It is a great source to healthy eating.

We started off with a quick consultation of what I was looking for in terms of meal preferences and possible menu items. Renée was happy to answer my questions and as a registered dietitian on a mission to cut sugar and encourage healthy eating, she was more than happy to help me figure out specific nutritional details. . I'm on week 1 of the one month order I made and it has been super yummy so far. Every meal has been delicious (even the meat-less ones) and there's some creativity from her team as well so it's not just the dishes you see on her website. Others in my household have also tried to eat portions of my meals because it tastes and smells so good. I've loved certain products they've sold over the years like the mixed grain rice and goji berry granola so I was super happy to see those items included as part of the grains, cookies and breakfast parfaits. This was way healthier than some other food delivery options out there.

The three dishes that we made were pork baos, dan dan noodles, and wontons with chilli sauce. These were all staple foods that I grew up eating in a Chinese family but it was quite interesting to make them with a western fusion twist. If you don't know how to cook, do not worry because I certainly don't either. Dan, the owner, led our class with his assistant Kait. Both were very helpful, engaging in conversation, and accommodating. Dan did a really good job of explaining the origins of each dish, bringing in his own experiences and life stories with his family which I really appreciate as this added a personal touch. He stresses the use of organic ingredients and often shared with us where to buy these common items. Once you walk in, you store your personal items in the cupboard provided. Then you write your name on an erasable name tag and put your apron on. Everyone is involved in the cooking process, from washing vegetables to chopping garlic and green onions. There was just a right amount of time to cook but also socialize with one another. You can also consume alcohol while cooking. I found that the assistant often prepared most of the meat, so some of the hardest parts of the recipes were already accounted for. The pork bao, for example, only required us to make the bun part but I do not recall preparing the pork or marinating it. Everything tasted delicious and looked so colourful that the plating easily looked like restaurant quality, even if you just tossed them all together on a dish. We used a lot of garlic though so a lot of us still came to work with garlic breath the next day! Still, I think my favourite dish must have been the dan dan noodles because of the peanut sauce. Feeling very lucky to have tried my first cooking class through work and hope to be back another time to cook another cuisine!

We had a lot of leftovers that I would've loved to bring home for my husband instead of throwing it out. After class Chef John emailed the recipes to us and we look forward to cooking these dishes at home!

DO NOT USE COZYMEAL!! This company is extremely unprofessional and has terrible customer service…read more We had a chef cause a serious incident requiring over $1000 in damages to the kitchen. The company has handled this with absolutely no urgency or professionalism. The chef was inappropriate and hostile with no effort from the company to compensate for damages.
