Review from Sarah B.

If you're looking for a cooking class in Calgary, this is the place to go! A little bit pricey for a one-off class, but totally worth it.
We went to a Friday night couples class and loved it. The class ran a BIT long (supposed to be done at 9:00, instead we were out of there at 10:30), so I suggest two things:
1. Don't make plans afterwards.
2. Make sure your babysitter is flexible.
Anyway, Pierre was our chef and was great. He's really funny and really knows his stuff. The meal was a bit complicated and I can tell you we'll never be cooking it on our own, but the few valuable tips he taught us were well worth the price of admission. -

Set in a huge location on 11th avenue, flags wave at you from the exterior beckoning you to this Disneyland of cooking utensils, spices and cookbooks.
There are pepper grinders, and cork screws, lemon twisters and pan glazers. There is an area dedicated solely to vinegars, to spices and to cooking oils. There are well lit rows upon rows of cookbooks, daring you to try out a new culinary art form in your home, the store is well inventoried and organised and is definitely a domestic chef's paradise.
My only criticism of the store is a slightly pretentious employee here who refused to give me the time to answer questions and passed me off with a business card of her owner. She feigned "occupied" but just 15 minutes I saw her come out from behind her counter to help a customer in the store. Am I less important simply because I am not buying in the moment? NOT. Therefore I am docking two stars from this review.
CCC has within its concept a cooking school tucked sweetly in the back of the store which I will address in a separate review. Here the attendant was very friendly and even offered me a cup of coffee to witness a class. Quite an extreme difference in customer service and reception. -
