If you’re someone whose idea of cooking is to move the take-out food from the container to the plate, it might be time to step up your game in the kitchen. On the other hand, even confident cooks can learn a new cuisine or skill. School’s in!
Here are five places to take cooking classes in Calgary.
Cuisine et Chateau
The Interactive Culinary Centre in Kensington is home to an array of cooking classes for pro and recreational chefs alike. Experienced instructors lead courses on everything from wine and food pairing to gluten-free baking. Learn to make brunch fare, basic stocks and sauces, or Mexican dishes, or sharpen your knife skills.

Culinary Campus at SAIT
From couples’ cooking classes to “Baking Basics,” the Culinary Campus at SAIT offers a range of classes taught by professionals through this branch of the School of Hospitality and Tourism (SAIT). Located in downtown, SAIT’s Culinary Campus is a great training ground for professionals, but everyday cooks will enjoy their weekend and evening offerings, too.
