Kiss the Cook
If seeing beurre blanc in a recipe causes you to burst into tears, get to Dirty Apron Cooking School.
Led by the former Chambar chef de cuisine David Robertson, sessions will focus on creating a 3-course meal of regional classics; get busy in a hands-on lesson or sit back at the best chef’s table in town and watch a demonstration. Our favourite part (besides not being stuck with the dirty dishes): all ingredients are prepped and ready upon arrival and stations boast top chef materials like All-Clad cookware, Wusthof knives, Wolf ranges and sleek Sub Zero fridges.
Once your masterpieces have been plated, head to the communal dining room—complete with a walnut buffet and Victorian chandeliers—and toast to your culinary success with recommended wine pairings.
They only thing that could overshadow your cooking skills? The stunning space with restored heritage doors and a chic general store stocked with modern kitchen gadgets and bespoke ingredients for you to take home.
Just try not to Michelin star your recipe book.
