President’s Choice Cooking School

My boyfriend and I went to a Hands-​on: Dim Sum Delights with Chef Florence Kwok last night at the Loblaws on Lower Jarvis Street.
The class was 2 hours long and there was 10 other people with us. We made Pot Stickers, BBQ Pork Puffs, Sweet & Sour Wontons and Baked Shrimp with Sriracha Aioli sauce
Chef Florence showed us how to make the filling for each dish and we got to rotate around four stations to wrap the pot stickers (made with pork filling), bbq pork puffs, and wontons (made with pork filling). We also got to coat the shrimp in panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and put them on skewers. I liked that Florence asked us to rotate through all the stations so we got to learn how to cook each dish.
After we finished cooking, we got to eat our creations and was provided with a glass of wine with the meal. You won’t get full on this and will most likely need to eat before or after the class, but I enjoyed it because we learned some neat things! We paid $ 45 each for this class and found it to be worth it. Chef Florence was strict, but also funny. She used a blend of English and Chinese techniques to make and cook the food.
For those of you that are vegetarians or cannot eat pork — this is NOT the class for you as pork was used in 3 out of 4 dishes!
