Description
Good to Know
Most cooking classes mean blindly follow 1-3 recipes, but without actually learning how to cook. Ours is both a class and a collaboration with a highly experienced Chef trained in luxury hotels, Michelin-star kitchens, and study with home and street cooks in over 100 countries. As a writer, the Chef/Curator was nominated as World’s Best Food Journalist and won global accolades as an editor/correspondent for Phaidon, Travel+Leisure, Gourmet/Conde Nast, and Slow Food. As a Doctoral scholar and Professor, he has presented research at dozens of universities on 4 continents. As a culinary consultant, he he has worked with talents like Michelin-star Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Oz’s Neil Perry, Top Chef winner Harold Dieterle, among many others. As a Chef/Creative Director, I have developed 50+ restaurants in the US, UK, and Asia, including some of the world’s top hotels (W Hotels, Fullerton Bay Singapore, Shangri-La, Corinthia UK, and more).

This is not your normal follow-a-recipe affair. Students will collaborate with a Michelin-trained Chef and global award-winning food writer on a 3-course meal. Each course will be inspired by a different immigrant community in Montreal. Students will learn how to think, prep, plan, cook, and plate like a Chef. The focus will be on professional techniques for flavour development, organization, and plating. The focus will be on how to learn to create sauces from master ratios. The class ends with a 3-course seated lunch or dinner. Do note: **STARTING TIME FLUCTUATEs BETWEEN 12 and 230 PM BASED ON FARM MARKET DELIVERIES***

Fun, delicious, and...
Fun, delicious, and enriching! I recommend this to anyone who loves cooking or even just foodies who want to understand how Chefs think. Chef Rob is passionate, thoughtful, and also loves and shows Montreal in a special way with his food and stories.
