Cooking Classes
Embark on a culinary adventure of discovery and learning. Cooking classes at the Bearfoot Bistro are a three hour experience of a lifetime.
With a group of eight or more, your are guided by our Executive Chef Melissa Craig through the process of creating a first class gourmet meal from appetizer to dessert. All the ingredients are provided and you have complete access to our gourmet kitchen. The day ends when everybody raises a glass to their new found culinary knowledge and sits down to enjoy the fruits of their labour.
