Top Vancouver Cooking Classes

This experience blends food, history, and culture in a unique way. Led by Judy—a chef, historian, and award-winning culinary tourism entrepreneur—you’ll discover Vancouver’s Chinatown through her personal stories, family roots, and special access to heritage buildings often closed to the public. After exploring the neighborhood, enjoy a hands-on cooking experience featuring dumpling-making as the default option, or request a traditional Cantonese menu instead. It’s an immersive cultural journey that connects the food of Chinatown with its people, stories, and living history.

This experience is led by a professional chef and Registered Dietitian at The Skript Kitchen, combining authentic techniques with a fun, social atmosphere. Guests learn hands on skills, work together in small groups, and enjoy a restaurant quality meal they create themselves. The class is designed to feel both educational and like a unique night out.

Sushi looks impressive on the plate. The secret is that it is also genuinely fun to make. Chef Hamzeh is going to prove it, and make it one of the better evenings Vancouver has thrown at you lately. In this laid-back, hands-on class you will learn to roll two classics from scratch. A California roll loaded with avocado, cucumber, crab and cream cheese wrapped in nori, and a fresh veggie roll with carrots, avocado, cucumber and cream cheese that is as vibrant as it is delicious. Chef Hamzeh walks you through every step, from seasoning your rice correctly to rolling tightly and cutting clean, even pieces that hold together all the way to the dipping sauce. The setting is casual, the crowd is fun and by the end of class you will already be thinking about whose dinner party you are going to debut these at first.
