Other Ideas

There are more than a million people in Calgary and area, and probably just as many ideas on how food can fit into your life.

Here are just a few of the options you might like to explore with us. But by all means, if you have an idea that you'd like to bounce off us, contact us. 

Cooking class

The hands-on method of learning about new cuisines, perfect for a group of friends or as a motivational event for staff. Explore the flavours of India, Mexico, Thailand, Tanzania, Italy and more. Your chef arrives with ingredients, tools, recipes and background information on the cuisine at hand. The Homestead Chef has done 20+ cooking classes of various ethnicities, and EVERYONE ALWAYS has a great time!

D.I.Y. Dinners: All the flambé, none of the fuss!

Want to have a group of people over for dinner and impress them with your cooking skills, but not do all the dull stuff? D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) Dinners gives you everything you need to put out a fabulous meal - and you only do the fun stuff! You get all the ingredients already prepared (some dishes may be complete and just need reheating) along with full instructions (including timing) on how to finish and present them. Like we say: All the flambé, none of the fuss.

Personal Cooking Lessons

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself (or that you can give to someone - like a son or daughter going to college) is to learn to cook. The Homestead Chef will lead you through a program to learn the basics, or to help you refine and expand your culinary skills - whatever you want. Some possibilities: learn the "tricks of the trade", knife handling, principles of cooking, sauces, and more. Rates vary on individual requirements.

Other times you might need a chef/caterer
