Our One Night classes are focused on a fun night out while learning a few specific techniques.

“We have taken one night cooking classes at other schools in the past but they weren't like this. Northwest blew us away. The lessons, the staff, the facility, All First Class!” - Ian Watt

  • Typically, all age groups from 18 to seniors.

  • If someone under 18 wishes to take a class, we require them to take it with a paying adult. So, if you have a child at home who’s 11 or older, and they’ll have parent/guardian supervision, they’re more than welcome.

  • One-off classes follow a two-hour format. Generally, there is a single demo (although depending on the flow, that may change) followed by participants moving into the kitchen to execute. Unlike the Fundamental courses, we do more prep in advance of your arrival. We host people from all experience levels and want to ensure everyone can bring their dish to the table in a reasonable amount of time. All ingredients are provided, and your dish is served with a glass of wine, beer, or cocktail.

  • We have set these classes up so that people of all cooking skill levels can participate.

  • The simple answer is “no”. So much depends on the size of the class and the experience level of the class. Usually, classes finish 15 minutes on either side of their approximate end time. But not always.

  • Any specific equipment you require, will be provided. However, we recommend bringing an apron and a couple of tea towels. You will receive a reminder email from Lena, prior to class.

  • We will make every effort to adjust to your needs with almost all our recipes. If you have any specific and unique requirements, please email lena@nwcav.com to enquire.

  • The school does not have a parking lot, but there is plenty of free parking in the neighbourhood between 12-14th Avenues between Main and Ontario Streets. There is metered parking in front of the school, and free parking on 12th, both after 6pm (which is why evening classes begin classes at 6:15pm) and on weekends.
