Just like Santas workshop, our winter workshops are overflowing with joy, delicious creations, and most importantly the holiday spirit.
What we lack in elves we make up for in confident young cooks, passionate and supportive chef instructors, and exciting seasonal recipes that will get the whole family excited. In our minds, there’s no better way to get into the celebration season this year.
Our workshops are offered either in the morning (9:00 am – 12:00 pm) or afternoon (1:00 pm – 4:00 pm) and sold as individual bookings or as a 3-class series to help fit everyone’s busy holiday schedule. You can also sign up for both sessions if you prefer.
You snow the drill, don’t miss out and secure your child’s spot today!

This holiday lets ring in the festive season with beautiful songs just like it used to be when we were kids. Let’s cook and bake with friends and family and share beautiful holiday memories together.
Invite a friend to come with you as you spend beautiful times together because cooking with love provides food for the soul.
As Goodrich puts it ” Christmas is like candy; it slowly melts in your mouth sweetening every taste bud, making you wish it could last forever.
Do you have a little Chef at your house? Do you have a friend or family who is not sure of what to do during the holidays? Invite them to join you.
