In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn how to prepare a stress-free, make-ahead menu perfect for effortless entertaining. Designed with casual dinner parties in mind, this experience will equip you with techniques to impress without the last-minute scramble.

Begin with a bright arugula and fennel salad, tossed with fresh herbs and a homemade vinaigrette. Then, master the delicate art of working with phyllo pastry as you wrap chicken breasts stuffed with roasted garlic, leeks, and creamy goat cheese. Finally, create rich, individual molten chocolate cakes: an indulgent dessert that’s guaranteed to wow your guests.

Whether you're hosting friends or planning a cozy dinner, you’ll leave with recipes and skills ready to recreate at home with ease.
Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Booked the class Sauté and Sizzle - French Bistro with Chef Karen in Toronto

My friend and I took the French Bistro cooking class and had such a great experience. The class was fun, engaging, and very easy to follow thanks to the chefs, who were patient, helpful, and made the atmosphere enjoyable throughout the evening. The class was set for four people, and each pair participated in preparing different parts of the five-course meal, including a caramelized onion and tomato tarte tatin, bavette steak with mushrooms and red wine pan sauce, roasted smashed baby potatoes, French bistro salad, and a French soufflé. After cooking, each group shared the steps they took to prepare their dish, which made the experience interactive and educational. The ingredients were high quality, the BYOB option was a fun touch, and overall it felt like such a unique and memorable experience. I would absolutely love to take another class here every few months to continue learning from such talented professionals.
