A cooking session makes an ideal team building experience, as Chef Desmond demonstrates in this hands-on cooking class. He'll help your group whip up a fantastic three-course meal with international appeal.

Tie on your aprons and get cooking with a fried goat cheese salad starter, peppered with apples and toasted walnuts. Then, you'll prepare classic pierogi dough you'll fill with fluffy potatoes and savory cheese. And for dessert, work together on a chocolate cake topped with sweet whipped cream.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Overall, the food was good and Chef Desmond was very kind. I would’ve given 3.5 stars if I could. The reason for less stars is 1) because we felt very rushed throughout the meal. We barely had time to finish each course before chef desmond was taking our plates and serving new ones. I don’t know if he had somewhere else to be but it felt like he was just itching to get out of our house and so we couldn’t really take our time to enjoy the meal. 2) the main course wasn’t really seasoned. the tuna was bland, the green beans were bland, and some of the potatoes were uncooked, which doesn’t feel right considering how much we paid. I think maybe the rushing may have contributed to that. 3) he wouldn’t leave our house without a tip, and I was planning to give him one anyway through cozymeal, but it just felt odd the way he went about it. Overall, not a bad experience, but I likely wouldn’t do it again. At least not at this price point.
