Scheduled classes at Get Cooking cost $115 per person ($110 per person for Vegetarian) 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 Kathryn’s 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.

Once again, we’ll be seducing your taste buds with the aromatic herbs and spices of Southeast Asia.
