Couples Who Cook

FAQ's

What is Couples Who Cook?

Couples Who Cook is a unique culinary date night experience. Cook along with us right from your own kitchen via Zoom. We'll choose recipes you've always wanted to make but felt intimidated to try (like Fresh Spring Rolls, Gnocchi, Spanikopita, etc.). You'll have an opportunity to taste some new flavours and try some new cooking techniques in a supportive and welcoming environment. Couples Who Cook will spark an excitment for spending time in the kitchen together.

What's the vibe?

Expect a fun, adult-only class. Pour your favouite beverage, put some music on and spend some quality time cooking with your partner. After the class, the time is all yours to enjoy the meal you created and time with eachother!

Am I required to keep my camera and mic on?

It's your call! If you prefer a cozy cooking session with your partner, go ahead and keep them off. Want to mingle and meet new people? Keep them on and join in the chat. Classes will not be recorded.

We have small kids. How can we participate?

Our goal is to offer you an affordable date night experience at home (no babysitter needed). Here's what I would do...feed your kids early, then tuck them in or put a movie on while you come and cook with us!

What recipes are we cooking?

May 10th menu: Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce & Crispy Tofu with Soy Ginger Glaze

Not a fan of tofu? Swap it for chicken. Our mission is to broaden your horizons when it comes to flavours, ingredients & cooking techniques BUT we're happy to suggest substitutions.

Will you provide recipes & grocery lists?

Absolutely! About a week before the class, you'll receive a pdf guide with recipes, grocery list, equipment list and instructions for anything you need to prep ahead. You'll have plenty of time to be prepared. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible!
