Get Cooking offers cooking classes for a wide range of food enthusiasts: those who want to learn some basic skills that will give them more confidence in the kitchen; those who are interested in exploring global eating and learning how to prepare food that originates in exotic locales; and those who are passionate about eating fresh, buying local and getting to know their food producers.
Get Cooking classes vary in theme and design. Some classes are comprised of a market tour, followed by preparation of the items purchased; other classes focus on specific skills or specialized techniques; yet others focus on a single ingredient prepared a variety of ways. Common to all classes is Kathryn’s dedication to the use of local produce and her love of Edmonton’s ethnic markets.
All classes conclude with a glass of wine, a menu tasting and a chat about the lesson.
