learn from the best
Located within the Stratford Chefs School in the heart of the city of Stratford, Ontario, enjoy in a unique culinary experience in hands-on cooking under the guidance of one of our country’s most celebrated chefs, Neil Baxter. Neil has been teaching cooking classes for 33 years at the now closed Rundles Restaurant and is currently a senior instructor at the Stratford Chefs School.
Chef Baxter’s character is contagious, and while his classes always welcome new members, an overwhelming number are return guests, some of whom have not missed a year since classes began.
Chef Neil’s Weekend or Tuesday Evening cooking classes are aimed to be of interest to individuals, or small groups, at all skill levels. We aim to teach new ingredients and techniques in food and wine.
"Neil’s cooking classes are inspirational and informative, mixed with just the right blend of humor"
