Can’t decide between a sweet snack or a savoury treat? With our Sweet & Savoury program, there’s no need to choose a side. During the week, your multi-talented chef-in-training will learn fundamental cooking and baking techniques, proper knife skills, diverse cooking methods including how to utilize a wide range of plant-based proteins, and the value of teamwork in the kitchen. Each day they will prepare delicious and nutritious savoury dishes which will become their lunch, followed by pastry recipes of escalating difficulty to finish. If your fanatic foodie has an interest in both the culinary and pastry arts, then this is the session for them. Following their participation, not only will they have gained practical cooking and baking skills, they will also leave with an appreciation for vegetarian cuisine, the knowledge on how to work with a wide range of plant-based ingredients and know how to incorporate these alternative proteins into their meals at home.
