Upcoming Cooking Classes and
Events
At Quince we're all about food in all its beauty and glory. Our standards are the highest possible, constantly creating artisan fine food for our store and catering business.
As cooking professionals we use only the best and freshest ingredients, a wide range of cooking techniques which bring out the absolute best in every ingredient, and serve it with respect for the beauty inherent in every dish. And we're fortunate to be able to draw on this daily professional experience to help demistify the art of fine cooking for the amateur cook through our cooking classes.
Take a Quince fully-participatory or demonstration style cooking class in our contemporary Cooking Studio and learn how to prepare extraordinary cuisine. Whether you want to learn the basics, upgrade skills, or expand your culinary repertoire, Quince offers an array of courses to appeal to diverse levels and interests.
Our spacious state-of-the-art kitchen Studio provides a comfortable yet professional environment. It is fully equipped with everything you need to translate the beauty of natural ingredients into unique and delicious creations. We also provide a recipe booklet for every class.
The recipes we use are "serious foodie" material, yet simple to
execute at home. The classes are social, students meeting others who share the same passion for food, typically with a glass of wine in
hand.
I love that the classes are hands-on, making it
easier to remember the techniques. The classes are informal yet
professional. Cooking at Quince is never just a cooking class...it's
an experience" Lyne L.
