Northwest Culinary Academy Of Vancouver

The first fundamentals class is fantastic. All the chefs were great, and my favorites were Tony and Jonathan. Highly recommend this course if you want to learn how to cook, or to take your skills to the next level.

Had a fantastic workshop on pork butchery. Eric and Curtis were very knowledgeable and fun, the class was very informative, the participants awesome, and I got to take home a great assortment of cuts. 12/10, would do this again.

Great place to learn, only took the Basics 1 & 2 courses so far, since I cook for fun, but this place has made me think twice about my career choices, maybe I should have become a Chef! Instructor chefs are polite and knowledgeable, feels like you are cooking with friends and learning is nice and easy.

If stuck in a cooking rut and don't have the methodology to get yourself out, I highly recommend fundamentals 101. My brain felt like I had taken a cooking vacation somewhere special. I left each session feeling fresh, invigorated and with an arsenal of cooking knowledge and experiences, excited to see what is next, just like any good trip can do. I developed skills, confidence and a greater perspective, while being thoroughly entertained by the chef teachers. I enjoyed the experience very much and will definitely take the next level and recommend the program wholeheartedly, thank you NWCA, Heidi Sidhu

Such a great experience! Chefs were amazing, the kitchen and set up for learning was excellent, course was well organized and the dishes we made let us incorporate the skills we learned throughout. I will definitely take more courses here! Thank you! :)

I’m halfway through the 2-week plant based bootcamp and I’ve already learned so much. Chef Tarek is awesome; so knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. He always makes time to answer questions, and the recipes have been amazing. I was so impressed that we didn’t even touch tofu until day 3. The range of tastes and styles that we get to cover is incredible. You learn fundamental skills that help you go beyond recipes into understanding how to develop flavour based on key principles, allowing for you to develop your creativity. Very impressed with the whole experience!

Great school to learn everything about the Culinary world! The fundamentals 1 class is very informative, with great instructors who are passionate about what they do. The pace of each class is great and the recipes we followed are so delicious! Will definitely be taking more classes from this academy. Thank you all!

I took the Basics I: Flagship Fundamentals Course just recently to improve on my home cooking skills and to learn its discipline. I've been cooking by following recipes but this course has certainly opened up my eyes with a fresh look, i.e., by putting on a new Reading Lens". I've also learned the art of flow in the kitchen with Mise en Place. Each Chef instructor brought to the classes their insights

Had a great experience with Fundamentals 1. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable, not teaching you to just read a recipe, but to understand it, and the facility was clean and well prepped. Nice wine pairings too!
