This hands-on experience goes beyond traditional recipes, teaching you to cook like a professional. Chef Robert will guide you through the same training he offers to professional cooks, focusing on essential culinary skills like knife techniques, plating, building sauces, and developing key culinary habits. Over the course of three hours, you'll work just like a chef in a top restaurant, gaining practical skills to elevate your cooking. At the end of the class, you'll sit down for a formal 3-course meal featuring dishes inspired by Montreal’s diverse culinary communities—such as Caribbean, North Asian, Syrian, and Québécois influences. To complement your meal, you can opt for a tasting of four artisanal wines and ciders, or enjoy a curated selection of rare and vintage teas for a unique non-alcoholic pairing.

5.00Chef Rob was a warm, welcoming, excellent teacher. The level was perfect and the focus was on techniques and conceptual fundamentals that helped us understand how to be more efficient and more importantly more creative. Chef Rob taught more than the "how" he explained the "why." In the end we sat down and tasted the amazing complex flavors and luscious dishes he'd taught us to make. He also made some restaurant recommendations that were wonderful . . . . food, service, location. Couldn't not have been better. Thank you, Chef Rob!
Fun and tasty.
