Wine Country Cooking School

We decided to do a cooking class as part of our honeymoon to the Niagara region, and it was easily the best part of our trip! Jane was wonderful to work with, and made the class so much fun! She really instilled confidence in us when it came to preparing the lovely seasonal menu, and we have been incorporating what we learned into our every day cooking. The wine pairings during lunch from Jane's husband were absolutely wonderful as well! It was also so great using the professional kitchen. Everything we made can be made at home. We now have the confidence to make a custard at home! I would recommend this class to anyone who goes to Niagara on a vacation. Get out of the city, and go do something different and amazing!

I recently completed my 4th visit to the Wine Country Cooking School. Can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday - making delicious recipes, drinking wonderful wined and learning about both along the way. Jane and Joe are the warmest, kindest people and make everyone feel like family. Its definitely a 5 star day!
Update: just completed my 7th visit to the cooking school. As always, Jane makes it a wonderful experience - great food, atmosphere and so much fun. It never gets boring and can't wait to go back again!

Thoroughly enjoyed the 5-hour Saturday afternoon cooking class at Wine Country Cooking School. Jane planned a seasonal, local menu that was absolutely delicious and easy to prepare along with many excellent tips for at-home chefs. My fave was to use a piece of parchment paper on your cutting board when preparing raw chicken. Easy but brilliant! Also, big kudos to her seasoned kitchen crew who present the students chefs with all the ingredients along with any specialty utensils such as an immersion blender or a food processor. They also discreetly & swiftly wash and clean up all items and work space after use. I said easy to prepare because Jane is a master of timing and learning how to prepare a menu's worth of dishes so as to be served hot or cold at the right time.

Joe is responsible for the colour commentary of the cooking class luncheon finale with his low key wine appreciation of red, white, rose and Ice Breaker wines.

Book with confidence for a fabulous time.
TIP: They will package up your leftovers so don't be shy in the portions you serve yourself.

Had a great time cooking with Jane and her staff. They all made it fun and effortless. The menu was well planned and delicious if I do say so myself! Her husband provides great wine pairings and many tips on how to pair wines. Great experience and looking forward to doing it again sometime in the future.

Once again I savoured a delicious, fun and informative cooking experience with Jane and Joe. Such a magical journey in NOTL-land. Can't wait to go again...
