We are currently finalizing the details of our January to March 2015 schedule of classes, and we have some exciting things in store. We’ll be releasing our classes for booking by the 15th of December – we had hoped to be ready by the 1st but we still have a few details to iron out. If you join our mailing list, we’ll let you know as soon as we’re ready to go live!
General Information
Scheduled classes at Get Cooking cost $130 per person plus GST, although occasionally we charge a little more for a class if the cost of ingredients is higher than usual, or for an All Day (6 hour plus) class. The fee includes 4 hours or more of professional instruction in our purpose-built gourmet kitchen, including a substantial meal as you taste all of the dishes that we have made. And while you eat, you’ll get to sample wines selected by the sommeliers at Vines, Riverbend Wine Merchants, to match the menu for your class. You’ll take home printed copies of all the recipes that we make, as well as a resource list to help you find the ingredients that we use. And finally, once you’re at home trying those recipes by yourself, you can contact Kathryn any time for ongoing advice as you Get Cooking on your own.
For Group Bookings please contact us at Info@GetCookingEdmonton.com for a quote based on the number of participants and your specific requirements.

Get Cooking Global
Learn to cook the Italian way, using the freshest local fare to produce the time-honoured dishes that make Italian food our favourite cuisine. You may not have an Italian Nonna, but we can help you learn to cook as if you did!
Put some ooh lah lah into your cooking as we explore the bistros of France, from coast to coast. We’ll show you simple ways to reproduce the casual, homestyle bistro dishes that make French cuisine so great.

If you’ve taken a Thai class at Get Cooking in the past, but are hungering for more, then look no further. We’ve added More Thai so that those of you who have been, enjoyed, and want to learn (and eat) some more can book another Thai class and add some new dishes to your repertoire! Once again, we’ll be seducing your taste buds with the aromatic herbs and spices of Southeast Asia. This isn’t a follow-on from our ever popular Thai 1, rather a whole new menu for you to experience, including Tom Yam Gung, Green Papaya Salad and a southern style Massaman Curry.
Take the Spice Route to India as you learn to make your own sumptuous curries along with delicious fresh chutneys and accompaniments to match.

Korean food is all the rage and very trendy right now. But trends aside it’s absolutely delicious, so while we’re rarely trend-driven here at Get Cooking, just this once we’re getting onboard. We’ll be exploring Kimchi … of course! But also a range of Korean specialties like Doenjang Pork, Bibimbap and Chicken Wings with Gochujang. We’re very excited to be offering this new addition to our repertoire, and look forward to sharing Korean cooking with you.
Come join us for Cook Chinese, and let us take you on a journey through the diverse regional cuisines of this extraordinary and vast nation. We’ll be exploring dishes from Canton to Sichuan, with a selection of appetizers, stir-fries, soups and braises to entice and satisfy your appetite for the taste of China.
