Cooking Classes at Saltscapes Expo
Taste of Nova Scotia Culinary Classes
Nova Scotia is known internationally for fresh seafood. Throw in vegetables and fruit from our unique ocean-inspired terrior and it’s easy to prove that we are a special culinary destination. Taste Nova Scotia by signing up for one of our unique cooking classes – for kids or adults – at Saltscapes Expo.
How do you fillet a trout? Have you ever made home-made pasta or deboned a chicken?
In these classes you will work with a local chef to learn how to make each of the items on your menu, through hands-on learning and demonstrations. You will learn about local ingredients – where to find them and why supporting local farmers is vital to healthy communities and healthy families.
But most importantly, you’ll taste the creations you make using fresh, local Nova Scotia ingredients and bring the recipes home with you to add to your repertoire.
