Flying Apron Hands On & Demonstration Public Cooking Classes & Culinary Getaway Packages

We offer a variety of public and private classes in our beautiful cooking school kitchen for both the casual home cook and the experienced foodie. Classes are taught by our Chef, Chris Velden. Chef Chris has been cooking and teaching for nearly 50 years across Canada, the United States, Europe, and in his home country of Germany. As a Certified European Master Chef and Culinary Instructor, his expert qualifications match his passion for teaching. Chris loves to provide culinary education to the food-inspired public at our Flying Apron Cookery School.

Most our classes include a 4-course meal, and recipes are always provided. Our teaching kitchen is licensed so you may purchase local beer, wine, or cider to enjoy during class.

Hands-on Classes
Our hands-on classes offer you the opportunity to practice new skills as you cook alongside the chef, working through your class menu. Chef Chris leads the class, and you work in pairs to prepare the feast. When you’re finished cooking, you get to enjoy the delicious results of your efforts with your classmates. Recipes for the dishes made in the class are included and ready for you to take home and recreate.

Demonstration Classes
Sit back, relax, and let Chef Chris create your dinner for you! In our demo classes, you get to observe and learn from the Chef as he cooks his way through the class’s menu. You will enjoy a full meal with your classmates during the demonstration class and take home recipes for the dishes made in class.

Specialty Classes
Occasionally, we partner with local food producers, special guests and subject experts to offer specialty classes. Some of our specialty classes have included chocolate making, beer & wine menu pairing, bread making, musical guest “chefs,” and mead making. These classes may include a hands-on component and always have something delicious to eat, although a full meal might not be included.

Both Single seats and Couples seats available
