Roasting - A Whole Chicken and More

  • Viva Tastings Catering Kitchen 52 Henry Street Toronto, ON, M5T 1X2 Canada (map)

If you have never roasted a chicken, this class is for you. It used to be an easy dish to serve, but now this classic skill has been lost and replaced by the ‘Rotisserie chicken’. Please return it to your kitchen, learn to trust and roast the bird, and prepare a delicious meal from scratch.

In this hands-on class, we will make a Whole Roast Chicken, roasted potatoes, crispy roasted Brussels sprouts, plus Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies.

After the preparation, our chef instructors will plate the meal, and the students will be seated to enjoy their creations. During the meal, the student chefs will explain how they prepared their recipe so that everyone learns to make all the dishes. The recipes will be e-mailed to the students after the class.

Menu

The stated menu may differ due to seasonality, ingredient availability, and our creative impulses. However, the final menu will remain faithful to the course theme.

Class Time: 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Scheduled Classes vs. Private Events: Our Scheduled classes are not private. That means the limit for a group that knows each other is four. If you have more than four guests, this becomes a private event. We can give you a quote for an event of this kind. Please get in touch with me directly. 

There is no refund for the class. However, if you cannot make the scheduled date and let us know five working days before your confirmed class, we will reschedule you for a future class.

Cancellations: If you must cancel at the last minute, please send a friend to your place, as we have planned the class for the confirmed number of guests. 

Change in Class Date: If, due to unforeseen circumstances, this class has to be moved to another date, you will be notified at least two working days before the class. 

COVID-19 Protocols - It is still a thing!

We want to keep everyone safe, especially the immune-compromised. Unfortunately, social distancing is not always possible in the kitchen. 

  • Facemasks are NOT required for attendees. (Facemasks are not a restriction; they are for protection. However, at the same time, they are optional based on every individual’s needs)

  • Proof of vaccination is NOT required.

  • All of our Staff are fully vaccinated.
