Cooking Classes in Vancouver
Looking for a cooking class in Vancouver? Key Experiences runs hands-on, chef-led classes at the Gray Olive Cafeteria in Burnaby, a short drive from downtown Vancouver. You cook every dish yourself, then sit down and eat what you made.
What a class is like
Every class is fully hands-on. A professional chef walks you through each recipe and technique, and you do the cooking at your own station. Public classes are small groups of 8 to 14 people, so you get real time with the chef. Most classes run about 2 hours, and some special dinners run up to 3 hours. At the end, everyone sits down together to enjoy the meal.
Popular classes
- Pasta from Scratch: a Ravioli Love Story: handmade ravioli, eggplant bruschetta and apple crostata.
- The Sushi Beginner: smoked salmon and avocado, tuna and tempura prawn rolls.
- Beginners Thai: From Curry to Pad Thai: pad Thai with prawns, green chicken curry and Thai larb.

- Pizza Party: handmade pizza with your choice of toppings.
