Crab-filled cappelletti with Hollandaise sauce and chive oil, plated professionally. Sounds ambitious. Chef Jerry will have you pulling it off in a single class. This is the kind of workshop that actually explains the why behind the techniques, why flour ratios change everything, how emulsification works and why plating is less about talent and more about understanding color, height and negative space. By the time it all clicks, you will look at your own plate and wonder when exactly you got this good. The setting is relaxed, the crowd is welcoming and Chef Jerry has a gift for making complex techniques feel completely within reach, even if your current pasta experience begins and ends with boiling water.

Gnocchi sounds like the kind of thing only Italian grandmothers can pull off. Chef Cortney is about to prove that wrong, and make it really fun in the process. In this laid-back, beginner-friendly class you will go from a pile of potatoes and flour to a plate of pillowy homemade gnocchi tossed in a rich brown butter sauce with crispy sage, fresh asparagus and a bright hit of lemon. Along the way you will pick up knife skills, dough technique and the deeply satisfying knowledge of exactly how brown butter is supposed to smell before you pull it off the heat. Come as a complete beginner. Leave as someone who genuinely makes gnocchi from scratch now.

There is a specific kind of satisfaction that comes from biting into a dumpling you folded yourself. This class exists entirely to give you that feeling. Chef Cortney will take you from total beginner to confident dumpling maker in just one session, starting with a flavour-packed filling of your choice, pork or a vibrant vegan version with napa cabbage, bamboo shoots, scallions and ginger. You will then learn the folding techniques that make dumplings look as good as they taste, cook them until the outside is golden and the inside is perfectly tender, and finish with a punchy dipping sauce that has just the right amount of kick. The room is casual, the crowd is friendly and by the time you sit down to eat, you will already be thinking about who you are going to make these for next.

Ordering sushi is great. Making it yourself and actually knowing what you are doing is a completely different level of satisfaction. That is exactly what this class is for. Chef See will take you from total beginner to confident sushi roller in one fun, relaxed session. You will master the rice, nail the rolling technique and build two crowd-pleasing classics: a California roll with fresh crab, avocado and cucumber, and a spicy tuna roll that brings just enough heat to keep things interesting. Along the way you will pick up the kind of insider tips that make the difference between sushi that holds together beautifully and sushi that, well, does not. Come for the skills. Stay for the eating. Leave as the person in your friend group who makes sushi now.
