Cooking Classes
Christina is a registered dietitian with over 15 years of experience and a skilled, passionate cooking instructor. She has been teaching cooking classes for both children and adults for close to a decade, beginning her career while still a student, working in grocery store–based cooking schools.
As a mom of three, Christina understands firsthand the joys and challenges of family mealtimes, picky eating, and getting kids involved in the kitchen. She brings this personal experience, along with her expertise in nutrition and cooking, to create practical, approachable strategies that make healthy eating enjoyable for the whole family.
Her children’s cooking and baking workshops are designed to help kids build real-life cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen. Christina emphasizes a balanced approach to healthy eating—one that includes enjoying a wide variety of foods and fostering a positive relationship with food.
Her classes provide a supportive, low-pressure environment where children can safely explore new foods, express creativity, and develop skills that last a lifetime. This approach can be especially helpful for picky eaters, encouraging them to be more open and curious while making cooking fun and engaging.
In this fun, hands-on baking class, kids will learn kitchen skills while making two delicious recipes – one sweet and one savoury. Together, we’ll explore the difference between dough and batter as we make no-rise bagels and chocolate zucchini muffins, each with a healthy twist.
Young bakers will practice essential techniques like measuring ingredients, mixing without overworking batter, kneading dough, and shaping bagels. Along the way, they’ll build confidence using kitchen tools safely and learn how simple ingredient additions like veggies, whole-grains, and yogurt can make foods both nutritious and delicious.
Ages 7-11 (if your child is 6 and has attended my classes previously, you may register them for this session)
Children will each take home a share of the muffins and bagels and have some time to eat in class.
Location: This class takes place at a private teaching kitchen in North York near Bathurst and Sheppard. Exact address emailed upon registration.
Ages 3-6
Join us for a special parent-and-child baking experience designed to bring families into the kitchen together! In this hands-on class, you and your child will work side by side to create healthier homemade animal crackers and colourful fruit kebabs—fun, wholesome treats everyone will enjoy.
Together, you’ll practice foundational kitchen skills like measuring, mixing, rolling dough, and using cookie cutters, while little ones build confidence with hands-on tasks and safe tool use. As you bake, we’ll explore simple ways to make treats healthier—like reducing added sugar and using real, nourishing ingredients—without sacrificing flavour or fun.
This class is all about connection, creativity, and learning together. You’ll leave with new skills, tasty snacks, and easy ideas you can recreate at home as a family.
