Toronto’s best virtual cooking and bartending classes are guaranteed to liven up your holidays, teach you something new and provide you with something wonderful to soothe your harried soul.
If you miss the conviviality of restaurant dining with family and friends, a virtual class is the next best thing. Ingredients prepped, face-to-face with a teacher and other students, a virtual class is the best way to feel the verve of the dining room in the comfort, and safety, of your own home. Whether you’ve always longed to make perfect macarons, want to stir up a perfect Manhattan or whip together a devastatingly authentic parmigiana di melanzane, a virtual class is a gift you’ll want to get and give this year.
With enough topics for everyone on your list, Toronto’s best virtual classes are a great way to bring joy to your loved ones’ lockdown. Collective doldrums have reached a never-before-seen abyss. The holidays are just the time to pluck yourself and your loved ones out of the communal funk and live a little. Drink some cocktails, eat a feast and coat the kitchen in a flurry of flour and sugar. For a quiet Christmas spent at home, it will feel as festive and alive as can be.
